In dnsserv_resolved(), we carefully made a nul-terminated copy of the
answer in a PTR RESOLVED cell... then never used that nul-terminated
copy. Ouch.
Surprisingly this one isn't as huge a security problem as it could be.
The only place where the input to dnsserv_resolved wasn't necessarily
nul-terminated was when it was called indirectly from relay.c with the
contents of a relay cell's payload. If the end of the payload was
filled with junk, eventdns.c would take the strdup() of the name [This
part is bad; we might crash there if the cell is in a bad part of the
stack or the heap] and get a name of at least length
495[*]. eventdns.c then rejects any name of length over 255, so the
bogus data would be neither transmitted nor altered.
[*] If the name was less than 495 bytes long, the client wouldn't
actually be reading off the end of the cell.
Nonetheless this is a reasonably annoying bug. Better fix it.
Found while looking at bug 2332, reported by doorss. Bugfix on
0.2.0.1-alpha.

"The codepath taken by the control port "RESOLVE" command to create a
synthetic SOCKS resolve request isn't the same as the path taken by
a real SOCKS request from 'tor-resolve'.
This prevents controllers who set LeaveStreamsUnattached=1 from
being able to attach RESOLVE streams to circuits of their choosing."
Create a new function connection_ap_rewrite_and_attach_if_allowed()
and call that when Tor needs to attach a stream to a circuit but
needs to know if the controller permits it.
No tests added.
The next series of commits begins addressing the issue that we're
currently including the complete or.h file in all of our source files.
To change that, we're splitting function definitions into new header
files (one header file per source file).
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.

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".
This patch adds a new compat_libevent.[ch] set of files, and moves our
Libevent compatibility and utilitity functions there. We build them
into a separate .a so that nothing else in src/commmon depends on
Libevent (partially fixing bug 507).
Also, do not use our own built-in evdns copy when we have Libevent
2.0, whose evdns is finally good enough (thus fixing Bug 920).
The subversion $Id$ fields made every commit force a rebuild of
whatever file got committed. They were not actually useful for
telling the version of Tor files in the wild.

Initial conversion of uint32_t addr to tor_addr_t addr in connection_t and related types. Most of the Tor wire formats using these new types are in, but the code to generate and use it is not. This is a big patch. Let me know what it breaks for you.
svn:r16435
Make generic address manipulation functions work better. Switch address policy code to use tor_addr_t, so it can handle IPv6. That is a good place to start.
svn:r16178
Fix all but 2 DOCDOC items; defer many XXX020s (particularly those where fixing them would fix no bugs at the risk of introducing some bugs).
svn:r13529
Re-tune mempool parametes based on testing on peacetime: use smaller chuncks, free them a little more aggressively, and try very hard to concentrate allocations on fuller chunks. Also, lots of new documentation.
svn:r13484
Patch from Robert Hogan: set conn->dns_server_port correctly so that we can close dns server ports when they change, thus avoiding crashes and dangling references and other sources of unhappiness.
svn:r10933
fix copy-paste error in config message src/or/config.c . Apply
initial (but pared-down) version of launch-resolve-via-controller
patch from Robert Hogan.
