Stop marking every relay as having been down for one hour every
time we restart a directory authority. These artificial downtimes
were messing with our Stable and Guard flag calculations.
Fixes bug 8218 (introduced by the fix for 1035). Bugfix on 0.2.2.23-alpha.
Relays used to check every 10 to 60 seconds, as an accidental side effect
of calling directory_fetches_from_authorities() when considering doing
a directory fetch. The fix for bug 1992 removes that side effect. At the
same time, bridge relays never had the side effect, leading to confused
bridge operators who tried crazy tricks to get their bridges to notice
IP address changes (see ticket 1913).
The new behavior is to reinstate an every-60-seconds check for both
public relays and bridge relays, now that the side effect is gone.
For example, we were doing a resolve every time we think about doing a
directory fetch. Now we reuse the cached answer in some cases.
Fixes bugs 1992 (bugfix on 0.2.0.20-rc) and 2410 (bugfix on
0.1.2.2-alpha).
When we compute the estimated microseconds we need to handle our
pending onionskins, we could (in principle) overflow a uint32_t if
we ever had 4 million pending onionskins before we had any data
about how onionskins take. Nevertheless, let's compute it properly.
Fixes bug 8210; bugfix on 0.2.4.10. Found by coverity; this is CID
980651.
The refactoring in commit 471ab34032 wasn't complete enough: we
were checking the auth_len variable, but never actually setting it,
so it would never seem that authentication had been provided.
This commit also removes a bunch of unused variables from
rend_service_introduce, whose unusedness we hadn't noticed because
we were wiping them at the end of the function.
Fix for bug 8207; bugfix on 0.2.4.1-alpha.
It returns the method by which we decided our public IP address
(explicitly configured, resolved from explicit hostname, guessed from
interfaces, learned by gethostname).
Now we can provide more helpful log messages when a relay guesses its IP
address incorrectly (e.g. due to unexpected lines in /etc/hosts). Resolves
ticket 2267.
While we're at it, stop sending a stray "(null)" in some cases for the
server status "EXTERNAL_ADDRESS" controller event. Resolves bug 8200.
Right now, all our curve25519 backends ignore the high bit of the
public key. But possibly, others could treat the high bit of the
public key as encoding out-of-bounds values, or as something to be
preserved. This could be used to distinguish clients with different
backends, at the cost of killing a circuit.
As a workaround, let's just clear the high bit of each public key
indiscriminately before we use it. Fix for bug 8121, reported by
rransom. Bugfix on 0.2.4.8-alpha.
The fix is to move the two functions to format/parse base64
curve25519 public keys into a new "crypto_format.c" file. I could
have put them in crypto.c, but that's a big file worth splitting
anyway.
Fixes bug 8153; bugfix on 0.2.4.8-alpha where I did the fix for 7869.
Now as we move into a future where most bridges can handle microdescs
we will generally find ourselves using them, rather than holding back
just because one of our bridges doesn't use them.
When we first implemented TLS, we assumed in conneciton_handle_write
that a TOR_TLS_WANT_WRITE from flush_buf_tls meant that nothing had
been written. But when we moved our buffers to a ring buffer
implementation back in 0.1.0.5-rc (!), we broke that invariant: it's
possible that some bytes have been written but nothing.
That's bad. It means that if we do a sequence of TLS writes that ends
with a WANTWRITE, we don't notice that we flushed any bytes, and we
don't (I think) decrement buckets.
Fixes bug 7708; bugfix on 0.1.0.5-rc
Instead of hardcoding the minimum fraction of possible paths to 0.6, we
take it from the user, and failing that from the consensus, and
failing that we fall back to 0.6.
Previously we did this based on the fraction of descriptors we
had. But really, we should be going based on what fraction of paths
we're able to build based on weighted bandwidth, since otherwise a
directory guard or two could make us behave quite oddly.
Implementation for feature 5956
This is allowed by the C statndard, which permits you to represent
doubles any way you like, but in practice we have some code that
assumes that memset() clears doubles in structs. Noticed as part of
7802 review; see 8081 for more info.
You can get it back by saying ./autogen.sh -v
Patch from onizuka; for bug 4664.
This isn't a complete fix, since starting from a clean checkout still
reports that it's installing stuff
This is ticket 7706, reported by "bugcatcher." The rationale here
is that if somebody says 'ExcludeNodes {tv}', then they probably
don't just want to block definitely Tuvaluan nodes: they also want
to block nodes that have unknown country, since for all they know
such nodes are also in Tuvalu.
This behavior is controlled by a new GeoIPExcludeUnknown autobool
option. With the default (auto) setting, we exclude ?? and A1 if
any country is excluded. If the option is 1, we add ?? and A1
unconditionally; if the option is 0, we never add them.
(Right now our geoip file doesn't actually seem to include A1: I'm
including it here in case it comes back.)
This feature only takes effect if you have a GeoIP file. Otherwise
you'd be excluding every node.
This won't actually break them any worse than they were broken before:
it just removes a set of warnings that nobody was actually seeing, I
hope.
Closes 6826
The implementation is pretty straightforward: parse_extended_hostname() is
modified to drop any leading components from an address like
'foo.aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.onion'.
In 6fbdf635 we added a couple of statements like:
if (test) {
...
};
The extraneous semicolons there get flagged as worrisome empty
statements by the cparser library, so let's fix them.
Patch by Christian Grothoff; fixes bug 7115.
Otherwise, it's possible to create streams or circuits with these
bogus IDs, leading to orphaned circuits or streams, or to ones that
can cause bandwidth DOS problems.
Fixes bug 7889; bugfix on all released Tors.
The right way to set "MaxOnionsPending" was to adjust it until the
processing delay was appropriate. So instead, let's measure how long
it takes to process onionskins (sampling them once we have a big
number), and then limit the queue based on its expected time to
finish.
This change is extra-necessary for ntor, since there is no longer a
reasonable way to set MaxOnionsPending without knowing what mix of
onionskins you'll get.
This patch also reserves 1/3 of the onionskin spots for ntor
handshakes, on the theory that TAP handshakes shouldn't be allowed to
starve their speedier cousins. We can change this later if need be.
Resolves 7291.
Our old warn_nonlocal_client_ports() would give a bogus warning for
every nonlocal port every time it parsed any ports at all. So if it
parsed a nonlocal socksport, it would complain that it had a nonlocal
socksport...and then turn around and complain about the nonlocal
socksport again, calling it a nonlocal transport or nonlocal dnsport,
if it had any of those.
Fixes bug 7836; bugfix on 0.2.3.3-alpha.
mr-4 reports on #7799 that he was seeing it several times per second,
which suggests that things had gone very wrong.
This isn't a real fix, but it should make Tor usable till we can
figure out the real issue.
This implements the server-side of proposal 198 by detecting when
clients lack the magic list of ciphersuites that indicates that
they're lying faking some ciphers they don't really have. When
clients lack this list, we can choose any cipher that we'd actually
like. The newly allowed ciphersuites are, currently, "All ECDHE-RSA
ciphers that openssl supports, except for ECDHE-RSA-RC4".
The code to detect the cipher list relies on on (ab)use of
SSL_set_session_secret_cb.
This is good enough to give P_success >= 999,999,999/1,000,000,000 so
long as the address space is less than 97.95 full. It'd be ridiculous
for that to happen for IPv6, and usome reasonable assumptions, it
would also be pretty silly for IPv4.
This replaces the old FallbackConsensus notion, and should provide a
way -- assuming we pick reasonable nodes! -- to give clients
suggestions of placs to go to get their first consensus.
