"Tor has included a feature to fetch the initial consensus from nodes
other than the authorities for a while now. We just haven't shipped a
list of alternate locations for clients to go to yet.
Reasons why we might want to ship tor with a list of additional places
where clients can find the consensus is that it makes authority
reachability and BW less important.
We want them to have been around and using their current key, address,
and port for a while now (120 days), and have been running, a guard,
and a v2 directory mirror for most of that time."
Features:
* whitelist and blacklist for an opt-in/opt-out trial.
* excludes BadExits, tor versions that aren't recommended, and low
consensus weight directory mirrors.
* reduces the weighting of Exits to avoid overloading them.
* places limits on the weight of any one fallback.
* includes an IPv6 address and orport for each FallbackDir, as
implemented in #17327. (Tor won't bootstrap using IPv6 fallbacks
until #17840 is merged.)
* generated output includes timestamps & Onionoo URL for traceability.
* unit test ensures that we successfully load all included default
fallback directories.
Closes ticket #15775. Patch by "teor".

* The option is now KeepBindCapabilities
* We now warn if the user specifically asked for KeepBindCapabilities
and we can't deliver.
* The unit tests are willing to start.
* Fewer unused-variable warnings.
* More documentation, fewer misspellings.
router_digest_is_fallback_dir returns 1 if the digest is in the
currently loaded list of fallback directories, and 0 otherwise.
This function is for future use.
Once tor is downloading a usable consensus, any other connection
attempts are not needed.
Choose a connection to keep, favouring:
* fallback directories over authorities,
* connections initiated earlier over later connections
Close all other connections downloading a consensus.
Prop210: Add attempt-based connection schedules
Existing tor schedules increment the schedule position on failure,
then retry the connection after the scheduled time.
To make multiple simultaneous connections, we need to increment the
schedule position when making each attempt, then retry a (potentially
simultaneous) connection after the scheduled time.
(Also change find_dl_schedule_and_len to find_dl_schedule, as it no
longer takes or returns len.)
Prop210: Add multiple simultaneous consensus downloads for clients
Make connections on TestingClientBootstrapConsensus*DownloadSchedule,
incrementing the schedule each time the client attempts to connect.
Check if the number of downloads is less than
TestingClientBootstrapConsensusMaxInProgressTries before trying any
more connections.
UseDefaultFallbackDirs enables any hard-coded fallback
directory mirrors. Default is 1, set it to 0 to disable fallbacks.
Implements ticket 17576.
Patch by "teor".
On FreeBSD backtrace(3) uses size_t instead of int (as glibc does). This
causes integer precision loss errors when we used int to store its
results.
The issue is fixed by using size_t to store the results of backtrace(3).
The manual page of glibc does not mention that backtrace(3) returns
negative values. Therefore, no unsigned integer wrapping occurs when its
result is stored in an unsigned data type.
Using variables removes the ambiguity about when to use variables and
when to use substitutions. Variables always work. Substitutions only
work when Autoconf knows about them which is not always the case.
The variables are also placed between quotes to ensures spaces in the
variables are handled properly.
Update the code for IPv6 authorities and fallbacks for function
argument changes.
Update unit tests affected by the function argument changes in
the patch.
Add unit tests for authority and fallback:
* adding via a function
* line parsing
* adding default authorities
(Adding default fallbacks is unit tested in #15775.)
The internal memory allocation and history object counters of the
reputation code can be used to verify the correctness of (part of) the
code. Using these counters revealed an issue where the memory allocation
counter is not decreased when the bandwidth arrays are freed.
A new function ensures the memory allocation counter is decreased when a
bandwidth array is freed.
This commit also removes an unnecessary cast which was found while
working on the code.
* Since the variable is no longer modified, it should be called
'policy' instead of 'dest'. ("Dest" is short for
"destination".)
* Fixed the space issue that dgoulet found on the ticket.
* Fixed the comment a little. (We use the imperative for function
documentation.)
Some functions that use digest maps did not mention that the digests are
expected to have DIGEST_LEN bytes. This lead to buffer over-reads in the
past.
The hidden service descriptor cache (rendcache) tests use digest maps
which expect keys to have a length of DIGEST_LEN.
Because the tests use key strings with a length lower than DIGEST_LEN,
the internal copy operation reads outside the key strings which leads to
buffer over-reads.
The issue is resolved by using character arrays with a size of
DIGEST_LEN.
Patch on ade5005853.
The tests pass empty digest strings to the dir_server_new function which
copies it into a directory server structure. The copy operation expects
the digest strings to be DIGEST_LEN characters long.
Because the length of the empty digest strings are lower than
DIGEST_LEN, the copy operation reads outside the digest strings which
leads to buffer over-reads.
The issue is resolved by using character arrays with a size of
DIGEST_LEN.

There was a dead check when we made sure that an array member of a
struct was non-NULL. Tor has been doing this check since at least
0.2.3, maybe earlier.
Fixes bug 17781.
Previously we'd suppressed the mask-bits field in the output when
formatting a policy if it was >=32. But that should be a >=128 if
we're talking about IPv6.
Since we didn't put these in descriptors, this bug affects only log
messages and controller outputs.
Fix for bug 16056. The code in question was new in 0.2.0, but the
bug was introduced in 0.2.4 when we started supporting IPv6 exits.
port is in host order (addr is tor_addr_t, endianness is abstracted).
addr and port can be different to conn->addr and conn->port if
connecting via a proxy.
Consistently ignore multicast addresses when automatically
generating reject private exit policies.
Closes ticket 17763. Bug fix on 10a6390deb,
not in any released version of Tor. Patch by "teor".
The tor_cert_get_checkable_sig function uses the signing key included in
the certificate (if available) when a separate public key is not given.
When the signature is valid, the tor_cert_checksig function copies the
public key from the checkable structure to the public key field of the
certificate signing key.
In situations where the separate public key is not given but the
certificate includes a signing key, the source and destination pointers
in the copy operation are equal and invoke undefined behavior.
Undefined behaviour is avoided by ensuring both pointers are different.
These functions must really never fail; so have crypto_rand() assert
that it's working okay, and have crypto_seed_rng() demand that
callers check its return value. Also have crypto_seed_rng() check
RAND_status() before returning.
Stop ignoring ExitPolicyRejectPrivate in getinfo
exit-policy/reject-private. Fix a memory leak.
Set ExitPolicyRejectPrivate in the unit tests, and make a mock
function declaration static.
Fix unit tests for get_interface_address6_list to assume less
about the interface addresses on the system.
Instead, mock get_interface_address6_list and use the mocked
function to provide a range of address combinations.
(If we take the branch above this assertion, than we *didn't* have a
v1 handshake. So if we don't take the branch, we did. So if we
reach this assertion, we must be running as a server, since clients
no longer attempt v1 handshakes.)

This migrates away from SHA1, and provides further hash flooding
protection on top of the randomised siphash implementation.
Add unit tests to make sure that different inputs don't have the
same hash.
The wrong list was used when looking up expired intro points in a rend

exit-policy/reject-private lists the reject rules added by
ExitPolicyRejectPrivate. This makes it easier for stem to
display exit policies.
Add unit tests for getinfo exit-policy/*.
Completes ticket #17183. Patch by "teor".
Modify policies_parse_exit_policy_reject_private so it also blocks
the addresses configured for OutboundBindAddressIPv4_ and
OutboundBindAddressIPv6_, and any publicly routable port addresses
on exit relays.
Add and update unit tests for these functions.
Move the code that rejects publicly routable exit relay addresses
to policies_parse_exit_policy_reject_private. Add
addr_policy_append_reject_addr_list and use it to reject interface
addresses.
This removes the duplicate reject checks on local_address and
ipv6_local_address, but duplicates will be removed by
exit_policy_remove_redundancies at the end of the function.
This also removes the info-level logging on rejected interface
addresses. Instead, log a debug-level message in
addr_policy_append_reject_addr.
This simplifies policies_parse_exit_policy_internal and prepares for
reporting these addresses over the control port in #17183.
In my testing, an IPv6-only FreeBSD jail without ::1 returned EINVAL
from tor_ersatz_socketpair. Let's not fail the unit test because of
this - it would only ever use tor_socketpair() anyway.
(But it won't work on some systems without IPv4/IPv6 localhost
(some BSD jails) by design, to avoid creating sockets on routable
IP addresses. However, those systems likely have the AF_UNIX socketpair,
which tor prefers.)

* get_if_addrs_ioctl: only works on IPv4 systems
* socket: check IPv4 and IPv6, skip on EPROTONOSUPPORT
* socketpair_ersatz: uses IPv4, skip on EPROTONOSUPPORT

Loading a on disk bridge descriptor causes a directory download to be
scheduled, which asserts due to the periodic events not being
initialized yet.
Fixes bug #17635, not in any released version of tor.
Now we only re-scan the list in the cases we did before: when we
have a new circuit that we should try attaching to, or when we have
added a new stream that we haven't tried to attach yet.
This is part of 17590.
Long ago we used to call connection_ap_handshake_attach_circuit()
only in a few places, since connection_ap_attach_pending() attaches
all the pending connections, and does so regularly. But this turned
out to have a performance problem: it would introduce a delay to
launching or connecting a stream.
We couldn't just call connection_ap_attach_pending() every time we
make a new connection, since it walks the whole connection list. So
we started calling connection_ap_attach_pending all over, instead!
But that's kind of ugly and messes up our callgraph.
So instead, we now have connection_ap_attach_pending() use a list
only of the pending connections, so we can call it much more
frequently. We have a separate function to scan the whole
connection array to see if we missed adding anything, and log a
warning if so.
Closes ticket #17590
Mark fallback directory mirrors as "too busy" when they return
a 503 response. Previously, the code just marked authorities as busy.
Unless clients set their own fallback directories, they will never see
this bug. (There are no default fallbacks yet.)
