Changes in version 0.2.0.33 - 2009-01-21
|
||||
Tor 0.2.0.33 fixes a variety of bugs that were making relays less
|
||||
useful to users. It also finally fixes a bug where a relay or client
|
||||
that's been off for many days would take a long time to bootstrap.
|
||||
|
||||
This update also fixes an important security-related bug reported by
|
||||
Ilja van Sprundel. You should upgrade. (We'll send out more details
|
||||
about the bug once people have had some time to upgrade.)
|
||||
|
||||
o Security fixes:
|
||||
- Fix a heap-corruption bug that may be remotely triggerable on
|
||||
some platforms. Reported by Ilja van Sprundel.
|
||||
|
||||
o Major bugfixes:
|
||||
- When a stream at an exit relay is in state "resolving" or
|
||||
"connecting" and it receives an "end" relay cell, the exit relay
|
||||
would silently ignore the end cell and not close the stream. If
|
||||
the client never closes the circuit, then the exit relay never
|
||||
closes the TCP connection. Bug introduced in Tor 0.1.2.1-alpha;
|
||||
reported by "wood".
|
||||
- When sending CREATED cells back for a given circuit, use a 64-bit
|
||||
connection ID to find the right connection, rather than an addr:port
|
||||
combination. Now that we can have multiple OR connections between
|
||||
the same ORs, it is no longer possible to use addr:port to uniquely
|
||||
identify a connection.
|
||||
- Bridge relays that had DirPort set to 0 would stop fetching
|
||||
descriptors shortly after startup, and then briefly resume
|
||||
after a new bandwidth test and/or after publishing a new bridge
|
||||
descriptor. Bridge users that try to bootstrap from them would
|
||||
get a recent networkstatus but would get descriptors from up to
|
||||
18 hours earlier, meaning most of the descriptors were obsolete
|
||||
already. Reported by Tas; bugfix on 0.2.0.13-alpha.
|
||||
- Prevent bridge relays from serving their 'extrainfo' document
|
||||
to anybody who asks, now that extrainfo docs include potentially
|
||||
sensitive aggregated client geoip summaries. Bugfix on
|
||||
0.2.0.13-alpha.
|
||||
- If the cached networkstatus consensus is more than five days old,
|
||||
discard it rather than trying to use it. In theory it could be
|
||||
useful because it lists alternate directory mirrors, but in practice
|
||||
it just means we spend many minutes trying directory mirrors that
|
||||
are long gone from the network. Also discard router descriptors as
|
||||
we load them if they are more than five days old, since the onion
|
||||
key is probably wrong by now. Bugfix on 0.2.0.x. Fixes bug 887.
|
||||
|
||||
o Minor bugfixes:
|
||||
- Do not mark smartlist_bsearch_idx() function as ATTR_PURE. This bug
|
||||
could make gcc generate non-functional binary search code. Bugfix
|
||||
on 0.2.0.10-alpha.
|
||||
- Build correctly on platforms without socklen_t.
|
||||
- Compile without warnings on solaris.
|
||||
- Avoid potential crash on internal error during signature collection.
|
||||
Fixes bug 864. Patch from rovv.
|
||||
- Correct handling of possible malformed authority signing key
|
||||
certificates with internal signature types. Fixes bug 880.
|
||||
Bugfix on 0.2.0.3-alpha.
|
||||
- Fix a hard-to-trigger resource leak when logging credential status.
|
||||
CID 349.
|
||||
- When we can't initialize DNS because the network is down, do not
|
||||
automatically stop Tor from starting. Instead, we retry failed
|
||||
dns_init() every 10 minutes, and change the exit policy to reject
|
||||
*:* until one succeeds. Fixes bug 691.
|
||||
- Use 64 bits instead of 32 bits for connection identifiers used with
|
||||
the controller protocol, to greatly reduce risk of identifier reuse.
|
||||
- When we're choosing an exit node for a circuit, and we have
|
||||
no pending streams, choose a good general exit rather than one that
|
||||
supports "all the pending streams". Bugfix on 0.1.1.x. Fix by rovv.
|
||||
- Fix another case of assuming, when a specific exit is requested,
|
||||
that we know more than the user about what hosts it allows.
|
||||
Fixes one case of bug 752. Patch from rovv.
|
||||
- Clip the MaxCircuitDirtiness config option to a minimum of 10
|
||||
seconds. Warn the user if lower values are given in the
|
||||
configuration. Bugfix on 0.1.0.1-rc. Patch by Sebastian.
|
||||
- Clip the CircuitBuildTimeout to a minimum of 30 seconds. Warn the
|
||||
user if lower values are given in the configuration. Bugfix on
|
||||
0.1.1.17-rc. Patch by Sebastian.
|
||||
- Fix a memory leak when we decline to add a v2 rendezvous descriptor to
|
||||
the cache because we already had a v0 descriptor with the same ID.
|
||||
Bugfix on 0.2.0.18-alpha.
|
||||
- Fix a race condition when freeing keys shared between main thread
|
||||
and CPU workers that could result in a memory leak. Bugfix on
|
||||
0.1.0.1-rc. Fixes bug 889.
|
||||
- Send a valid END cell back when a client tries to connect to a
|
||||
nonexistent hidden service port. Bugfix on 0.1.2.15. Fixes bug
|
||||
840. Patch from rovv.
|
||||
- Check which hops rendezvous stream cells are associated with to
|
||||
prevent possible guess-the-streamid injection attacks from
|
||||
intermediate hops. Fixes another case of bug 446. Based on patch
|
||||
from rovv.
|
||||
- If a broken client asks a non-exit router to connect somewhere,
|
||||
do not even do the DNS lookup before rejecting the connection.
|
||||
Fixes another case of bug 619. Patch from rovv.
|
||||
- When a relay gets a create cell it can't decrypt (e.g. because it's
|
||||
using the wrong onion key), we were dropping it and letting the
|
||||
client time out. Now actually answer with a destroy cell. Fixes
|
||||
bug 904. Bugfix on 0.0.2pre8.
|
||||
|
||||
o Minor bugfixes (hidden services):
|
||||
- Do not throw away existing introduction points on SIGHUP. Bugfix on
|
||||
0.0.6pre1. Patch by Karsten. Fixes bug 874.
|
||||
|
||||
o Minor features:
|
||||
- Report the case where all signatures in a detached set are rejected
|
||||
differently than the case where there is an error handling the
|
||||
detached set.
|
||||
- When we realize that another process has modified our cached
|
||||
descriptors, print out a more useful error message rather than
|
||||
triggering an assertion. Fixes bug 885. Patch from Karsten.
|
||||
- Implement the 0x20 hack to better resist DNS poisoning: set the
|
||||
case on outgoing DNS requests randomly, and reject responses that do
|
||||
not match the case correctly. This logic can be disabled with the
|
||||
ServerDNSRamdomizeCase setting, if you are using one of the 0.3%
|
||||
of servers that do not reliably preserve case in replies. See
|
||||
"Increased DNS Forgery Resistance through 0x20-Bit Encoding"
|
||||
for more info.
|
||||
- Check DNS replies for more matching fields to better resist DNS
|
||||
poisoning.
|
||||
- Never use OpenSSL compression: it wastes RAM and CPU trying to
|
||||
compress cells, which are basically all encrypted, compressed, or
|
||||
both.
