This came up on #21035, where somebody tried to build on a linux
system with kernel headers including CLOCK_MONOTONIC_COARSE, then
run on a kernel that didn't support it.
I've adopted a belt-and-suspenders approach here: we detect failures
at initialization time, and we also detect (loudly) failures later on.
Fixes bug 21035; bugfix on 0.2.9.1-alpha when we started using
monotonic time.
Replace the 81 remaining fallbacks of the 100 originally introduced
in Tor 0.2.8.3-alpha in March 2016, with a list of 177 fallbacks
(123 new, 54 existing, 27 removed) generated in December 2016.
Resolves ticket 20170.
In get_token(), we could read one byte past the end of the
region. This is only a big problem in the case where the region
itself is (a) potentially hostile, and (b) not explicitly
nul-terminated.
This patch fixes the underlying bug, and also makes sure that the
one remaining case of not-NUL-terminated potentially hostile data
gets NUL-terminated.
Fix for bug 21018, TROVE-2016-12-002, and CVE-2016-1254
They broke stem, and breaking application compatibility is usually a
bad idea.
This reverts commit 6e10130e18,
commit 78a13df158, and
commit 62f52a888a.
We might re-apply this later, if all the downstream tools can handle
it, and it turns out to be useful for some reason.
I got confused when I saw my Tor saying it was opening a file
that doesn't exist. It turns out it isn't opening it, it's just
calling open() on it and then moving on when it's not there.
Previously, we had NumEntryGuards kind of hardwired to 1. Now we
have the code (but not the configuarability) to choose randomly from
among the first N primary guards that would work, where N defaults
to 1.
Part of 20831 support for making NumEntryGuards work again.
Since we already had a separate function for getting the universe of
possible guards, all we had to do was tweak it to handle very the
GS_TYPE_RESTRICTED case.
asn found while testing that this function can be reached with
GUARD_STATE_COMPLETE circuits; I believe this happens when
cannibalization occurs.
The added complexity of handling one more state made it reasonable
to turn the main logic here into a switch statement.
Letting the maximum sample size grow proportionally to the number of
guards defeats its purpose to a certain extent. Noted by asn during
code review.
Fixes bug 20920; bug not in any released (or merged) version of Tor.
- Correctly maintain the previous guard selection in choose_guard_selection().
- Print bridge identifier instead of nothing in entry_guard_describe()._
