Fixes bug 11454, where we would keep around a superseded descriptor
if the descriptor replacing it wasn't at least a week later. Bugfix
on 0.2.1.8-alpha.
Fixes bug 11457, where a certificate with a publication time in the
future could make us discard existing (and subsequent!) certificates
with correct publication times. Bugfix on 0.2.0.3-alpha.
Decrease minimum consensus interval to 10 seconds
when TestingTorNetwork is set. (Or 5 seconds for
the first consensus.)
Fix code that assumes larger interval values.
This assists in quickly bootstrapping a testing
Tor network.
Fixes bugs 13718 & 13823.
Instead, generate new keys, and overwrite the empty key files.
Adds FN_EMPTY to file_status_t and file_status.
Fixes bug 13111.
Related changes due to review of FN_FILE usage:
Stop generating a fresh .old RSA key file when the .old file is missing.
Avoid overwriting .old key files with empty key files.
Skip loading zero-length extra info store, router store, stats, state,
and key files.
We were only using it when smartlist_choose_node_by_bandwidth_weights
failed. But that function could only fail in the presence of
buggy/ancient authorities or in the absence of a consensus. Either
way, it's better to use sensible defaults and a nicer algorithm.
1. The test that adds things to the cache needs to set the clock back so
that the descriptors it adds are valid.
2. We split ROUTER_NOT_NEW into ROUTER_TOO_OLD, so that we can
distinguish "already had it" from "rejected because of old published
date".
3. We make extrainfo_insert() return a was_router_added_t, and we
make its caller use it correctly. This is probably redundant with
the extrainfo_is_bogus flag.
One pain point in evolving the Tor design and implementing has been
adding code that makes clients reject directory documents that they
previously would have accepted, if those descriptors actually exist.
When this happened, the clients would get the document, reject it,
and then decide to try downloading it again, ad infinitum. This
problem becomes particularly obnoxious with authorities, since if
some authorities accept a descriptor that others don't, the ones
that don't accept it would go crazy trying to re-fetch it over and
over. (See for example ticket #9286.)
This patch tries to solve this problem by tracking, if a descriptor
isn't parseable, what its digest was, and whether it is invalid
because of some flaw that applies to the portion containing the
digest. (This excludes RSA signature problems: RSA signatures
aren't included in the digest. This means that a directory
authority can still put another directory authority into a loop by
mentioning a descriptor, and then serving that descriptor with an
invalid RSA signatures. But that would also make the misbehaving
directory authority get DoSed by the server it's attacking, so it's
not much of an issue.)
We already have a mechanism to mark something undownloadable with
downloadstatus_mark_impossible(); we use that here for
microdescriptors, extrainfos, and router descriptors.
Unit tests to follow in another patch.
Closes ticket #11243.
Document usage of the NO_DIRINFO and ALL_DIRINFO flags clearly in functions
which take them as arguments. Replace 0 with NO_DIRINFO in a function call
for clarity.
Seeks to prevent future issues like 13163.
Avoid 4 null pointer errors under clang shallow analysis (the default when
building under Xcode) by using tor_assert() to prove that the pointers
aren't null. Resolves issue 13284 via minor code refactoring.
