Our regular DH parameters that we use for circuit and rendezvous
crypto are unchanged. This is yet another small step on the path of
protocol fingerprinting resistance.
We need to make sure that the worst thing that a weird consensus param
can do to us is to break our Tor (and only if the other Tors are
reliably broken in the same way) so that the majority of directory
authorities can't pull any attacks that are worse than the DoS that
they can trigger by simply shutting down.
One of these worse things was the cbtnummodes parameter, which could
lead to heap corruption on some systems if the value was sufficiently
large.
This commit fixes this particular issue and also introduces sanity
checking for all consensus parameters.
Having very long single lines with lots and lots of things in them
tends to make files hard to diff and hard to merge. Since our tools
are one-line-at-a-time, we should try to construct lists that way too,
within reason.
This incidentally turned up a few headers in configure.in that we were
for some reason searching for twice.
Currently the unit tests test_util_spawn_background_* assume that they
are run from the Tor build directory. This is not the case when running
make distcheck, so the test will fail. This problem is fixed by autoconf
setting BUILDDIR to be the root of the Tor build directory, and this
preprocessor variable being used to specify the absolute path to
test-child. Also, in test-child, do not print out argv[0] because this will
no longer be predictable. Found by Sebastian Hahn.
- Responsibility of clearing hex_errno is no longer with caller
- More conservative bounds checking
- Length requirement of hex_errno documented
- Output format documented
This was the only flag in routerstatus_t that we would previously
change in a routerstatus_t in a consensus. We no longer have reason
to do so -- and probably never did -- as you can now confirm more
easily than you could have done by grepping for is_running before
this patch.
The name change is to emphasize that the routerstatus_t is_running
flag is only there to tell you whether the consensus says it's
running, not whether it *you* think it's running.
We really should ignore any timeouts that have *no* network activity for their
entire measured lifetime, now that we have the 95th percentile measurement
changes. Usually this is up to a minute, even on fast connections.
automake 1.6 doesn't like using a conditional += to add stuff to foo_LDADD.
Instead you need to conditionally define a variable, then non-conditionally
put that variable in foo_LDADD.
We want to make sure that we don't break old torrc files that might have
used something like this made-up example:
ContactInfo UberUser <uber@user.com> # /// Fake email! \\\
Log info file /home/nick.mathewson/projects/tor-info.log
And we also want to support the following style of writing your torrc:
ExcludeNodes \
# Node1337 is run by the Bavarian Illuminati
Node1337, \
# The operator of Node99 looked at me funny
Node99
The code already handles both cases, but the unit test should help prove
it.
This function uses GetSystemDirectory() to make sure we load the version
of the library from c:\windows\system32 (or local equivalent) rather than
whatever version lives in the cwd.
