In my state files, I was seeing several peaks, probably due to different
guards having different latency. This change is meant to better capture
this behavior and generate more reasonable timeouts when it happens. It
is improving the timeout values for my collection of state files.
what's happening here is that we're fetching certs for obsolete
authorities -- probably legacy signers in this case. but try to
remain general in the log message.
It's natural for the definition of bandwidth_rule_t to be with the functions
that actually care about its values. Unfortunately, this means declaring
bandwidth_rate_rule_to_string() out of sequence. Someday we'll just rename
reasons.c to strings.c, and put it at the end of or.h, and this will all be
better.
Works like the --enable-static-openssl/libevent options. Requires
--with-zlib-dir to be set. Note that other dependencies might still
pull in a dynamicly linked zlib, if you don't link them in statically
too.
Everything that accepted the 'Circ' name handled it wrong, so even now
that we fixed the handling of the parameter, we wouldn't be able to
set it without making all the 0.2.2.7..0.2.2.10 relays act wonky.
This patch makes Tors accept the 'Circuit' name instead, so we can
turn on circuit priorities without confusing the versions that treated
the 'Circ' name as occasion to act weird.
I'm adding this because I can never remember what stuff like 'rule 3'
means. That's the one where if somebody goes limp or taps out, the
fight is over, right?
When you mean (a=b(c,d)) >= 0, you had better not say (a=b(c,d)>=0).
We did the latter, and so whenever CircPriorityHalflife was in the
consensus, it was treated as having a value of 1 msec (that is,
boolean true).
We need to make sure we have an event_base in dns.c before we call
anything that wants one. Make sure we always have one in dns_reset()
when we're a client. Fixes bug 1341.
Now if you're a published relay and you set RefuseUnknownExits, even
if your dirport is off, you'll fetch dir info from the authorities,
fetch it early, and cache it.
In the future, RefuseUnknownExits (or something like it) will be on
by default.
From http://archives.seul.org/tor/relays/Mar-2010/msg00006.html :
As I understand it, the bug should show up on relays that don't set
Address to an IP address (so they need to resolve their Address
line or their hostname to guess their IP address), and their
hostname or Address line fails to resolve -- at that point they'll
pick a random 4 bytes out of memory and call that their address. At
the same time, relays that *do* successfully resolve their address
will ignore the result, and only come up with a useful address if
their interface address happens to be a public IP address.
When the bandwidth-weights branch added the "directory-footer"
token, and began parsing the directory footer at the first
occurrence of "directory-footer", it made it possible to fool the
parsing algorithm into accepting unsigned data at the end of a
consensus or vote. This patch fixes that bug by treating the footer
as starting with the first "directory-footer" or the first
"directory-signature", whichever comes first.
Treat strings returned from signed_descriptor_get_body_impl() as not
NUL-terminated. Since the length of the strings is available, this is
not a big problem.
Discovered by rieo.
Don't allow anything but directory-signature tokens in a consensus after
the first directory-signature token. Fixes bug in bandwidth-weights branch.

Another dereference-then-NULL-check sequence. No reports of this bug
triggered in the wild. Fixes bugreport 1256.
Thanks to ekir for discovering and reporting this bug.
Fix a dereference-then-NULL-check sequence. This bug wasn't triggered
in the wild, but we should fix it anyways in case it ever happens.
Also make sure users get a note about this being a bug when they
see it in their log.

This means that "if (E<G) {abc} else if (E>=G) {def}" can be replaced with
"if (E<G) {abc} else {def}"
Doing the second test explicitly made my mingw gcc nervous that we might
never be initializing casename.
For my 64-bit Linux system running with GCC 4.4.3-fc12-whatever, you
can't do 'printf("%lld", (int64_t)x);' Instead you need to tell the
compiler 'printf("%lld", (long long int)x);' or else it doesn't
believe the types match. This is why we added U64_PRINTF_ARG; it
looks like we needed an I64_PRINTF_ARG too.
asprintf() is a GNU extension that some BSDs have picked up: it does a printf
into a newly allocated chunk of RAM.
Our tor_asprintf() differs from standard asprintf() in that:
- Like our other malloc functions, it asserts on OOM.
- It works on windows.
- It always sets its return-field.
All other bandwidthrate settings are restricted to INT32_MAX, but
this check was forgotten for PerConnBWRate and PerConnBWBurst. Also
update the manpage to reflect the fact that specifying a bandwidth
in terabytes does not make sense, because that value will be too
large.

On Windows, we don't have a notion of ~ meaning "our homedir", so we
were deliberately using an #ifdef to avoid calling expand_filename()
in multiple places. This is silly: The right place to turn a function
into a no-op on a single platform is in the function itself, not in
every single call-site.
Spec conformance issue: The code didn't force the network-status-version
token to be the first token in a v3 vote or consensus.
Problem discovered by Parakeep.
We need to use evdns_add_server_port_with_base() when configuring
our DNS listener, because libevent segfaults otherwise. Add a macro
in compat_libevent.h to pick the correct implementation depending
on the libevent version.
Fixes bug 1143, found by SwissTorExit
The src and dest of a memcpy() call aren't supposed to overlap,
but we were sometimes calling tor_addr_copy() as a no-op.
Also, tor_addr_assign was a redundant copy of tor_addr_copy(); this patch
removes it.
We implemented ratelimiting for warnings going into the logfile, but didn't
rate-limit controller events. Now both log warnings and controller events
are rate-limited.
Tor has tor_lookup_hostname(), which prefers ipv4 addresses automatically.
Bug 1244 occured because gethostbyname() returned an ipv6 address, which
Tor cannot handle currently. Fixes bug 1244; bugfix on 0.0.2pre25.
Reported by Mike Mestnik.
The problem was that we didn't allocate enough memory on 32-bit
platforms with 64-bit time_t. The memory leak occured every time
we fetched a hidden service descriptor we've fetched before.
When calculating the is_exit flag for a routerinfo_t, we don't need
to call exit_policy_is_general_exit() if router_exit_policy_rejects_all()
tells us it definitely is an exit. This check is much cheaper than
running exit_policy_is_general_exit().
exit_policy_is_general_exit() assumed that there are no redundancies
in the passed policy, in the sense that we actively combine entries
in the policy to really get rid of any redundancy. Since we cannot
do that without massively rewriting the policy lines the relay
operators set, fix exit_policy_is_general_exit().
Fixes bug 1238, discovered by Martin Kowalczyk.
We accidentally freed the internal buffer for bridge stats when we
were writing the bridge stats file or honoring a control port
request for said data. Change the interfaces for
geoip_get_bridge_stats* to prevent these problems, and remove the
offending free/add a tor_strdup.
Fixes bug 1208.
It's a bit confusing to have a loop where another function,
confusingly named "*_free", is responsible for advancing the loop
variable (or rather, for altering a structure so that the next time
the loop variable's initializer is evaluated it evaluates to something
different.)
Not only has this confused people: it's also confused coverity scan.
Let's fix that.
This was freaking out some relay operators without good reason, as
it is nothing the relay operator can do anything about anyways.
Quieting this warning suggested by rieo.
The OutboundBindAddress option is useful for making sure that all of
your outbond connections use a given interface. But when connecting
to 127.0.0.1 (or ::1 even) it's important to actually have the
connection come _from_ localhost, since lots of programs running on
localhost use the source address to authenticate that the connection
is really coming from the same host.
Our old code always bound to OutboundBindAddress, whether connecting
to localhost or not. This would potentially break DNS servers on
localhost, and socks proxies on localhost. This patch changes the
behavior so that we only look at OutboundBindAddress when connecting
to a non-loopback address.
this case can now legitimately happen, if you have a cached v2 status
from moria1, and you run with the new list of dirservers that's missing
the old moria1. it's nothing to worry about; the file will die off in
a month or two.
...to let us
rate-limit client connections as they enter the network. It's
controlled in the consensus so we can turn it on and off for
experiments. It's starting out off. Based on proposal 163.
Specifically, there are two cases: a) are we willing to start a new
circuit at a node not in your ExitNodes config option, and b) are we
willing to make use of a circuit that's already established but has an
unsuitable exit.
Now we discard all your circuits when you set ExitNodes, so the only
way you could end up with an exit circuit that ends at an unsuitable
place is if we explicitly ran out of exit nodes, StrictNodes was 0,
and we built this circuit to solve a stream that needs solving.
Fixes bug in dc322931, which would ignore the just-built circuit because
it has an unsuitable exit.
Before it would prepend your requested entrynodes to your list of guard
nodes, but feel free to use others after that. Now it chooses only
from your EntryNodes if any of those are available, and only falls back
to others if a) they're all down and b) StrictNodes is not set.
Also, now we refresh your entry guards from EntryNode at each consensus
fetch (rather than just at startup and then they slowly rot as the
network changes).
The goal here is to make users less likely to set StrictNodes, since
it's doing closer to what they expect it should be doing.
We do this in too many places throughout the code; it's time to start
clamping down.
Also, refactor Karsten's patch to use strchr-then-strndup, rather than
malloc-then-strlcpy-then-strchr-then-clear.
Fix statistics on client numbers by country as seen by bridges that were
broken in 0.2.2.1-alpha. Also switch to reporting full 24-hour intervals
instead of variable 12-to-48-hour intervals.
The HSAuthorityRecordStats option was used to track statistics of overall
hidden service usage on the version 0 hidden service authorities. With the
version 2 hidden service directories being deployed and version 0
descriptors being phased out, these statistics are not as useful anymore.
Goodbye, you fine piece of software; my first major code contribution to
Tor.
The new rule is: safe_str_X() means "this string is a piece of X
information; make it safe to log." safe_str() on its own means
"this string is a piece of who-knows-what; make it safe to log".
The rule is now: take the value from the CircuitPriorityHalflife
config option if it is set. If it zero, disable the cell_ewma
algorithm. If it is set, use it to calculate the scaling factor.
If it is not set, look for a CircPriorityHalflifeMsec parameter in the
consensus networkstatus. If *that* is zero, then disable the cell_ewma
algorithm; if it is set, use it to calculate the scaling factor.
If it is not set at all, disable the algorithm.
In connection_dir_client_reached_eof, we make sure that we either
return when we get an http status code of 503 or handle the problem
and set it to 200. Later we check if the status code is 503. Remove
that check.
There are two big changes here:
- We store active circuits in a priority queue for each or_conn,
rather than doing a linear search over all the active circuits
before we send each cell.
- Rather than multiplying every circuit's cell-ewma by a decay
factor every time we send a cell (thus normalizing the value of a
current cell to 1.0 and a past cell to alpha^t), we instead
only scale down the cell-ewma every tick (ten seconds atm),
normalizing so that a cell sent at the start of the tick has
value 1.0).
Each circuit is ranked in terms of how many cells from it have been
relayed recently, using a time-weighted average.
This patch has been tested this on a private Tor network on PlanetLab,
and gotten improvements of 12-35% in time it takes to fetch a small
web page while there's a simultaneous large data transfer going on
simultaneously.

This changes the pqueue API by requiring an additional int in every
structure that we store in a pqueue to hold the index of that structure
within the heap.
Some *_free functions threw asserts when passed NULL. Now all of them
accept NULL as input and perform no action when called that way.
This gains us consistence for our free functions, and allows some
code simplifications where an explicit null check is no longer necessary.
Do not segfault when writing buffer stats when we haven't observed a
single circuit to report about. This is a minor bug that would only show
up in testing environments with no traffic and with reduced stats
intervals.
Avoid crashing if the client is trying to upload many bytes and the
circuit gets torn down at the same time, or if the flip side
happens on the exit relay. Bugfix on 0.2.0.1-alpha; fixes bug 1150.
New config option "CircuitStreamTimeout" to override our internal
timeout schedule for how many seconds until we detach a stream from
a circuit and try a new circuit. If your network is particularly
slow, you might want to set this to a number like 60.
To fix a major security problem related to incorrect use of
SSL/TLS renegotiation, OpenSSL has turned off renegotiation by
default. We are not affected by this security problem, however,
since we do renegotiation right. (Specifically, we never treat a
renegotiated credential as authenticating previous communication.)
Nevertheless, OpenSSL's new behavior requires us to explicitly
turn renegotiation back on in order to get our protocol working
again.
Amusingly, this is not so simple as "set the flag when you create
the SSL object" , since calling connect or accept seems to clear
the flags.
For belt-and-suspenders purposes, we clear the flag once the Tor
handshake is done. There's no way to exploit a second handshake
either, but we might as well not allow it.
