Previously, we would detect errors from a missing RNG
implementation, but not failures from the RNG code itself.
Fortunately, it appears those failures do not happen in practice
when Tor is using OpenSSL's default RNG implementation. Fixes bug
40390; bugfix on 0.2.8.1-alpha. This issue is also tracked as
TROVE-2021-004. Reported by Jann Horn at Google's Project Zero.
The new version of shellcheck says that that this idiom is
unnecessary, and its presence here is making the shellcheck tests
fail.
No changes file needed, since this is not user-facing code.
Without this message getting logged at 'WARN', it's hard to
contextualize the messages we get about compression bombs, so this
message should fix#40175.
I'm rate-limiting this, however, since it _could_ get spammy if
somebody on the network starts acting up. (Right now it should be
very quiet; I've asked Sebastian to check it, and he says that he
doesn't hit this message in practice.)
Closes#40175.
Cached_dir_t is a somewhat "legacy" kind of storage when used for
consensus documents, and it appears that there are cases when
changing our settings causes us to stop updating those entries.
This can cause trouble, as @arma found out in #40375, where he
changed his settings around, and consensus diff application got
messed up: consensus diffs were being _requested_ based on the
latest consensus, but were being (incorrectly) applied to a
consensus that was no longer the latest one.
This patch is a minimal fix for backporting purposes: it has Tor do
the same search when applying consensus diffs as we use to request
them. This should be sufficient for correct behavior.
There's a similar case in GETINFO handling; I've fixed that too.
Fixes#40375; bugfix on 0.3.1.1-alpha.
