Accomplished via the following:
1. Use NETINFO cells to determine if both peers will agree on canonical
status. Prefer connections where they agree to those where they do not.
2. Alter channel_is_better() to prefer older orconns in the case of multiple
canonical connections, and use the orconn with more circuits on it in case
of age ties.
Also perform some hourly accounting on how many of these types of connections
there are and log it at info or notice level.
This defense will cause Cisco, Juniper, Fortinet, and other routers operating
in the default configuration to collapse netflow records that would normally
be split due to the 15 second flow idle timeout.
Collapsing these records should greatly reduce the utility of default netflow
data for correlation attacks, since all client-side records should become 30
minute chunks of total bytes sent/received, rather than creating multiple
separate records for every webpage load/ssh command interaction/XMPP chat/whatever
else happens to be inactive for more than 15 seconds.
The defense adds consensus parameters to govern the range of timeout values
for sending padding packets, as well as for keeping connections open.
The defense only sends padding when connections are otherwise inactive, and it
does not pad connections used solely for directory traffic at all. By default
it also doesn't pad inter-relay connections.
Statistics on the total padding in the last 24 hours are exported to the
extra-info descriptors.
We switched these to be "if (1) " a while back, so we could keep
the indentation and avoid merge conflicts. But it's nice to clean
up from time to time.
(Only run the connection_or_group_set_badness_() function on groups
of channels that have the same RSA and Ed25519 identities.)
There's a possible opportunity here where we might want to set a
channel to "bad" if it has no ed25519 identity and some other
channel has some. Also there's an opportunity to add a warning if
we ever have an Ed mismatch on open connections with the same RSA
ID.
Right now, there's only a mechanism to look for a channel where the
RSA ID matches *and* the ED ID matches. We can add a separate map
later if we want.
This patch doesn't cover every case; omitted cases are marked with
"XXXX prop271", as usual. It leaves both the old interface and the
new interface for guard status notification, since they don't
actually work in the same way: the new API wants to be told when a
circuit has failed or succeeded, whereas the old API wants to know
when a channel has failed or succeeded.
I ran into some trouble with directory guard stuff, since when we
pick the directory guard, we don't actually have a circuit to
associate it with. I solved that by allowing guard states to be
associated with directory connections, not just circuits.
In particular, these functions are the ones that set the identity of
a given connection or channel, and/or confirm that we have learned
said IDs.
There's a lot of stub code here: we don't actually need to use the
new keys till we start looking up connections/channels by Ed25519
IDs. Still, we want to start passing the Ed25519 IDs in now, so it
makes sense to add these stubs as part of 15055.
The functions it warns about are:
assert, memcmp, strcat, strcpy, sprintf, malloc, free, realloc,
strdup, strndup, calloc.
Also, fix a few lingering instances of these in the code. Use other
conventions to indicate _intended_ use of assert and
malloc/realloc/etc.
This is a big-ish patch, but it's very straightforward. Under this
clang warning, we're not actually allowed to have a global variable
without a previous extern declaration for it. The cases where we
violated this rule fall into three roughly equal groups:
* Stuff that should have been static.
* Stuff that was global but where the extern was local to some
other C file.
* Stuff that was only global when built for the unit tests, that
needed a conditional extern in the headers.
The first two were IMO genuine problems; the last is a wart of how
we build tests.
This warning triggers on silently promoting a float to a double. In
our code, it's just a sign that somebody used a float by mistake,
since we always prefer double.
If we decide not to use a new guard because we want to retry older
guards, only close the locally-originating circuits passing through
that guard. Previously we would close all the circuits.
