Right-shifting negative values has implementation-defined behavior.
On all the platforms we work on right now, the behavior is to
sign-extend the input. That isn't what we wanted in
auth_type_val = (descriptor_cookie_tmp[16] >> 4) + 1;
Fix for 6861; bugfix on 0.2.1.5-alpha; reported pseudonymously.
The broken behavior didn't actually hurt anything, I think, since the
only way to get sign-extension to happen would be to have the top bit
of descriptor_cookie_tmp[16] set, which would make the value of
descriptor_cookie_tmp[16] >> 4 somewhere between 0b11111111 and
0b11111000 (that is, between -1 and -8). So auth_type_val would be
between -7 and 0. And the immediate next line does:
if (auth_type_val < 1 || auth_type_val > 2) {
So the incorrectly computed auth_type_val would be rejected as
invalid, just as a correctly computed auth_type_val would be.
Still, this stuff shouldn't sit around the codebase.
We were doing (1<<p) to generate a flag at position p, but we should
have been doing (U64_LITERAL(1)<<p).
Fixes bug 6861; bugfix on 0.2.0.3-alpha; reported pseudonymously.
Our flag voting code needs to handle unrecognized flags, so it stores
them in a 64-bit bitfield. But we never actually checked for too many
flags, so we were potentially doing stuff like U64_LITERAL(1)<<flagnum
with flagnum >= 64. That's undefined behavior.
Fix for bug 6833; bugfix on 0.2.0.1-alpha.
When I removed version_supports_begindir, I accidentally removed the
mechanism we had been using to make a directory cache self-test its
directory port. This caused bug 6815, which caused 6814 (both in
0.2.4.2-alpha).
To fix this bug, I'm replacing the "anonymized_connection" argument to
directory_initiate_command_* with an enumeration to say how indirectly
to connect to a directory server. (I don't want to reinstate the
"version_supports_begindir" argument as "begindir_ok" or anything --
these functions already take too many arguments.)
For safety, I made sure that passing 0 and 1 for 'indirection' gives
the same result as you would have gotten before -- just in case I
missed any 0s or 1s.
