Previously we said "Sandbox is not implemented on this platform" on
Linux boxes without libseccomp. Now we say that you need to build
Tor built with libseccomp. Fixes bug 11543; bugfix on 0.2.5.1-alpha.
Fixes a possible root cause of 11553 by only making 64 attempts at
most to pick a circuitID. Previously, we would test every possible
circuit ID until we found one or ran out.
This algorithm succeeds probabilistically. As the comment says:
This potentially causes us to give up early if our circuit ID
space is nearly full. If we have N circuit IDs in use, then we
will reject a new circuit with probability (N / max_range) ^
MAX_CIRCID_ATTEMPTS. This means that in practice, a few percent
of our circuit ID capacity will go unused.
The alternative here, though, is to do a linear search over the
whole circuit ID space every time we extend a circuit, which is
not so great either.
This makes new vs old clients distinguishable, so we should try to
batch it with other patches that do that, like 11438.
The server cipher list is (thanks to #11513) chosen systematically to
put the best choices for Tor first. The client cipher list is chosen
to resemble a browser. So let's set SSL_OP_CIPHER_SERVER_PREFERENCE
to have the servers pick according to their own preference order.
This isn't on by default; to get it, you need to set "TransProxyType
ipfw". (The original patch had automatic detection for whether
/dev/pf is present and openable, but that seems marginally fragile.)
Back in 175b2678, we allowed servers to recognize clients who are
telling them the truth about their ciphersuites, and select the best
cipher from on that list. This implemented the server side of proposal
198.
In bugs 11492, 11498, and 11499, cypherpunks found a bunch of mistakes
and omissions and typos in the UNRESTRICTED_SERVER_CIPHER_LIST we had.
In #11513, I found a couple more.
Rather than try to hand-edit this list, I wrote a short python script
to generate our ciphersuite preferences from the openssl headers.
The new rules are:
* Require forward secrecy.
* Require RSA (since our servers only configure RSA keys)
* Require AES or 3DES. (This means, reject RC4, DES, SEED, CAMELLIA,
and NULL.)
* No export ciphersuites.
Then:
* Prefer AES to 3DES.
* If both suites have the same cipher, prefer ECDHE to DHE.
* If both suites have the same DHE group type, prefer GCM to CBC.
* If both suites have the same cipher mode, prefer SHA384 to SHA256
to SHA1.
* If both suites have the same digest, prefer AES256 to AES128.
This commit does nothing other than pull the changes/* files into
ChangeLog, sorted by declared type. I haven't comined any entries or
vetted anything yet.
When we successfully create a usable circuit after it previously
timed out for a certain amount of time, we should make sure that
our public IP address hasn't changed and update our descriptor.
The major changes are to re-order some ciphers, to drop the ECDH suites
(note: *not* ECDHE: ECDHE is still there), to kill off some made-up
stuff (like the SSL_RSA_FIPS_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA suite), to drop
some of the DSS suites... *and* to enable the ECDHE+GCM ciphersuites.
This change is autogenerated by get_mozilla_ciphers.py from
Firefox 28 and OpenSSL 1.0.1g.
Resolves ticket 11438.
In C, it's a bad idea to do this:
char *cp = array;
char *end = array + array_len;
/* .... */
if (cp + 3 >= end) { /* out of bounds */ }
because cp+3 might be more than one off the end of the array, and
you are only allowed to construct pointers to the array elements,
and to an element one past the end. Instead you have to say
if (cp - array + 3 >= array_len) { /* ... */ }
or something like that.
This patch fixes two of these: one in process_versions_cell
introduced in 0.2.0.10-alpha, and one in process_certs_cell
introduced in 0.2.3.6-alpha. These are both tracked under bug
10363. "bobnomnom" found and reported both. See also 10313.
In our code, this is likely to be a problem as we used it only if we
get a nasty allocator that makes allocations end close to (void*)-1.
But it's best not to have to worry about such things at all, so
let's just fix all of these we can find.
According to reports, most programs degrade somewhat gracefully on
getting no answer for an MX or a CERT for www.example.com, but many
flip out completely on a NOTIMPL error.
Also, treat a QTYPE_ALL query as just asking for an A record.
The real fix here is to implement proposal 219 or something like it.
Fixes bug 10268; bugfix on 0.2.0.1-alpha.
Based on a patch from "epoch".
We are searching @CONFDIR@ before $HOME, but the documentation
implied otherwise.
I screwed this up in f5e86bcd6c, when I
first documented the $HOME/.torrc possibility.
Fix for bug 9213; bugfix on 0.2.3.18-rc.
Otherwise, it could mung the thing that came over the net on windows,
which would defeat the purpose of recording the unparseable thing.
Fixes bug 11342; bugfix on 0.2.2.1-alpha.
This is a fix for 9963. I say this is a feature, but if it's a
bugfix, it's a bugfix on 0.2.4.18-rc.

The build was broken by changes in f8c45339f7, but we didn't
notice, since that commit also made torify.1 only get built when
tor-fw-helper was turned on.
Fixes bug 11321; bugfix on Tor 0.2.5.1-alpha.
Most of these are simple. The only nontrivial part is that our
pattern for using ENUM_BF was confusing doxygen by making declarations
that didn't look like declarations.
In circuitlist_free_all, we free all the circuits, removing them from
the map as we go, but we weren't actually freeing the placeholder
entries that we use to indicate pending DESTROY cells.
Fix for bug 11278; bugfix on the 7912 code that was merged in
0.2.5.1-alpha
In the end this required a slightly nasty hack using a dummy anchor as
an option heading in order to make the "Other recognized __flags__"
line indent properly.
Fixes bug 11061; Bugfix on 61d740ed.
The crypto_early_init() function could only be called at most twice,
and both of those were during startup. AFAICT leaking the first set
of locks was the only non-idempotent thing.
There are still quite a few 0.2.3.2x relays running for x<5, and while I
agree they should upgrade, I don't think cutting them out of the network
is a net win on either side.
