TROVE-2017-12. Severity: Medium
When choosing a random node for a circuit, directly use our router
descriptor to exclude ourself instead of the one in the global
descriptor list. That list could be empty because tor could be
downloading them which could lead to not excluding ourself.
Closes#21534
TROVE-2017-12. Severity: Medium
Thankfully, tor will close any circuits that we try to extend to
ourselves so this is not problematic but annoying.
Part of #21534.
TROVE-2017-13. Severity: High.
In the unlikely case that a hidden service could be missing intro circuit(s),
that it didn't have enough directory information to open new circuits and that
an intro point was about to expire, a use-after-free is possible because of
the intro point object being both in the retry list and expiring list at the
same time.
The intro object would get freed after the circuit failed to open and then
access a second time when cleaned up from the expiring list.
Fixes#24313
Going from 4 hours to 24 hours in order to try reduce the efficiency of guard
discovery attacks.

When we close a connection via connection_close_immediately, we kill
its events immediately. But if it had been blocked on bandwidth
read/write, we could try to re-add its (nonexistent) events later
from connection_bucket_refill -- if we got to that callback before
we swept the marked connections.
Fixes bug 24167. Fortunately, this hasn't been a crash bug since we
introduced connection_check_event in 0.2.9.10, and backported it.
This is a bugfix on commit 89d422914a, I believe, which
appeared in Tor 0.1.0.1-rc.
When we have fewer than 15 descriptors to fetch, we will delay the
fetch for a little while. That's fine, if we can go ahead and build
circuits... but if not, it's a poor choice indeed.
Fixes bug 23985; bugfix on 0.1.1.11-alpha.
In 0.3.0.3-alpha, when we made primary guard descriptors necessary
for circuit building, this situation got worse.
