Dependabot has a ton of issues with its rust integration that makes
it wholly useless, and very annoying:
* It has no concept of MSRV, opening PRs that are not going to pass
CI.
* It has no concept of patch-level - if we depend on tokio 1.X,
that means any version of tokio > 1.X, but dependabot insists on
opening a PR to "update us" to tokio 1.X + 1, even though it
doesn't impact what version of our users use (and often violates
MSRV).
* It has no concept of dependencies that rely on each other,
causing it to open a PR to update us to bitcoin_hashes X + 1,
even though we're still depending on rust-bitcoin Y which
depends on bitcoin_hashes X, causing build failure.
* It hogs CI resources, getting CI run twice, once for the branch
once for the PR.
* It creates branches directly on the rust-lightning repo, making
it look like the work is somehow connected to the
lightningdevkit project, even though it isn't, and spamming the
local clones of project contributors.
At the end of the day, dependabot has never meaningfully
contributed to notifying us of an important dependency, and,
really, we don't have enough dependencies for it to matter.
In c02b6a3807 we moved the
`payment_preimage` copy from inside the macro which only runs if we
are spending an output we know is an HTLC output to doing it for
any script that matches our expected length. This can panic if an
inbound channel is created with a bogus funding transaction that
has a witness program of the HTLC-Success/-Offered length but which
does not have a second-to-last witness element which is 32 bytes.
Luckily this panic is relatively simple for downstream users to
work around - if an invalid-length-copy panic occurs, simply remove
the ChannelMonitor from the bogus channel on startup and run
without it. Because the channel must be funded by a bogus script in
order to reach this panic, the channel will already have closed by
the time the funding transaction is spent, and there can be no
local funds in such a channel, so removing the `ChannelMonitor`
wholesale is completely safe.
In order to test this we have to disable an in-line assertion that
checks that our transactions match expected scripts which we do by
checking for the specific bogus script that we now use in
`test_invalid_funding_tx`.
Thanks to Eugene Siegel for reporting this issue.
Because downstream languages are often garbage-collected, having
the user directly allocate a `ReadOnlyNetworkGraph` and pass a
reference to it to `find_route` often results in holding a read
lock long in excess of the `find_route` call. Worse, some languages
(like JavaScript) tend to only garbage collect when other code is
not running, possibly leading to deadlocks.
Currently, channel balances may be rather easily discovered through
probing. This however poses a privacy risk, since the analysis of
balance changes over adjacent channels could in the worst case empower an adversary to
mount an end-to-end deanonymization attack, i.e., track who payed whom.
The penalty added here is applied so we prefer nodes with a smaller `htlc_maximum_msat`, which makes
balance discovery attacks harder to execute. As this improves privacy network-wide, we
treat such nodes preferentially and hence create an incentive to restrict
`htlc_maximum_msat`.
When we receive a `channel_reestablish` with a `data_loss_protect`
that proves we're running with a stale state, instead of
force-closing the channel, we immediately panic. This lines up with
our refusal to run if we find a `ChannelMonitor` which is stale
compared to our `ChannelManager` during `ChannelManager`
deserialization. Ultimately both are an indication of the same
thing - that the API requirements on `chain::Watch` were violated.
In the "running with outdated state but ChannelMonitor(s) and
ChannelManager lined up" case specifically its likely we're running
off of an old backup, in which case connecting to peers with
channels still live is explicitly dangerous. That said, because
this could be an operator error that is correctable, panicing
instead of force-closing may allow for normal operation again in
the future (cc #1207).
In any case, we provide instructions in the panic message for how
to force-close channels prior to peer connection, as well as a note
on how to broadcast the latest state if users are willing to take
the risk.
Note that this is still somewhat unsafe until we resolve#1563.
If a user restores from a backup that they know is stale, they'd
like to force-close all of their channels (or at least the ones
they know are stale) *without* broadcasting the latest state,
asking their peers to do so instead. This simply adds methods to do
so, renaming the existing `force_close_channel` and
`force_close_all_channels` methods to disambiguate further.
Users may want to - for whatever reasons - prevent payments to be routed
over certain nodes. This change therefore allows to add `NodeId`s to a
list of banned nodes, which then will be avoided during path finding.
In the upcoming onion messages PR, this will allow us to avoid decrypting onion
message encrypted data in an intermediate Vec before decoding it. Instead we
decrypt and decode it at the same time using this new ChaChaPolyReadAdapter object.
In doing so, we need to adapt the decode_tlv_stream macro such that it will
decode a LengthReadableArgs, which is a new trait as well. This trait is
necessary because ChaChaPoly needs to know the total length ahead of time to
separate out the tag at the end.
In the upcoming onion messages PR, this will allow us to avoid encoding onion
message encrypted data into an intermediate Vec before encrypting it. Instead
we encode and encrypt at the same time using this new ChaChaPolyWriteAdapter object.
When we see a counterparty revoked commitment transaction on-chain
we shouldn't immediately queue up HTLCs present in it for
resolution until we have spent the HTLC outputs in some kind of
claim transaction.
In order to do so, we first have to change the
`fail_unbroadcast_htlcs!()` call to provide it with the HTLCs which
are present in the (revoked) commitment transaction which was
broadcast. However, this is not sufficient - because all of those
HTLCs had their `HTLCSource` removed when the commitment
transaction was revoked, we also have to update
`fail_unbroadcast_htlcs` to check the payment hash and amount when
the `HTLCSource` is `None`.
Somewhat surprisingly, several tests actually explicitly tested for
the old behavior, which required amending to pass with the new
changes.
Finally, this adds a debug assertion when writing `ChannelMonitor`s
to ensure `HTLCSource`s do not leak.
This is mostly motivated by the fact that payments may happen while the
latest `ChannelUpdate` indicating our new `ChannelConfig` is still
propagating throughout the network. By temporarily allowing the previous
config, we can help reduce payment failures across the network.
We do this to prevent payment failures while the `ChannelUpdate` for the
new `ChannelConfig` still propagates throughout the network. In a follow
up commit, we'll honor forwarding HTLCs that were constructed based on
either the previous or current `ChannelConfig`.
To handle expiration (when we should stop allowing the previous config),
we rely on the ChannelManager's `timer_tick_occurred` method. After
enough ticks, the previous config is cleared from memory, and only the
current config applies moving forward.
A new `update_channel_config` method is exposed on the `ChannelManger`
to update the `ChannelConfig` for a set of channels atomically. New
`ChannelUpdate` events are generated for each eligible channel.
Note that as currently implemented, a buggy and/or
auto-policy-management client could spam the network with updates as
there is no rate-limiting in place. This could already be done with
`broadcast_node_announcement`, though users are less inclined to update
that as frequently as its data is mostly static.
As we prepare to expose an API to update a channel's ChannelConfig,
we'll also want to expose this struct to consumers such that they have
insights into the current ChannelConfig applied for each channel.
Provide a wrapper struct for 32-byte node aliases, which implements
Display for printing. Support the UTF-8 character encoding, but replace
control characters and terminate at the first null character. Fall back
to ASCII if the byte sequence is an invalid encoding.
Previously, while processing a confirmed revoked counterparty
commitment transaction, we'd populate `OnchainEvent`s for live
HTLCs with a `txid` source of the txid of the latest counterparty
commitment transactions, not the confirmed revoked one. This meant
that, if the user is using `transaction_unconfirmed` to notify us
of reorg information, we'd end up not removing the entry if the
revoked commitment transaction was reorg'd out. This would
ultimately cause us to spuriously resolve the HTLC(s) as the chain
advanced, even though we were doing so based on a now-reorged-out
transaction.
Luckily the fix is simple - set the correct txid in the
`OnchainEventEntry`. We also take this opportunity to update
logging in a few places with the txid of the transaction causing an
event.
If the funding transaction is timelocked beyond the next block of
our best known chain tip, return an APIError instead of silently
failing at broadcast attempt.
