Fixes bug 4259, bugfix on 0.2.2.25-alpha. Bugfix by "Tey'".
Original message by submitter:
Changing nodes restrictions using a controller while Tor is doing
DNS resolution could makes Tor crashes (on WinXP at least). The
problem can be repeated by trying to reach a non-existent domain
using Tor:
curl --socks4a 127.0.0.1:9050 inexistantdomain.ext
.. and changing the ExitNodes parameter through the control port
before Tor returns a DNS resolution error (of course, the following
command won't work directly if the control port is password
protected):
echo SETCONF ExitNodes=TinyTurtle | nc -v 127.0.0.1 9051
Using a non-existent domain is needed to repeat the issue so that
Tor takes a few seconds for resolving the domain (which allows us to
change the configuration). Tor will crash while processing the
configuration change.
The bug is located in the addressmap_clear_excluded_trackexithosts
method which iterates over the entries of the addresses map in order
to check whether the changes made to the configuration will impact
those entries. When a DNS resolving is in progress, the new_adress
field of the associated entry will be set to NULL. The method
doesn't expect this field to be NULL, hence the crash.
One of its callers assumes a non-zero result indicates a permanent failure
(i.e. the current attempt to connect to this HS either has failed or is
doomed). The other caller only requires that this function's result
never equal -2.

Change the default values for collecting directory request statistics and
inlcuding them in extra-info descriptors to 1.
Don't break if we are configured to collect directory request or entry
statistics and don't have a GeoIP database. Instead, print out a notice
and skip initializing the affected statistics code.
This is the cherry-picked 499661524b.
For printf, %f and %lf are synonymous, since floats are promoted to
doubles when passed as varargs. It's only for scanf that we need to
say "%lf" for doubles and "%f" for floats.
Apparenly, some older compilers think it's naughty to say %lf and like
to spew warnings about it.

The issue was that we overlooked the possibility of reverse DNS success
at the end of connection_ap_handshake_socks_resolved(). Issue discovered
by katmagic, thanks!
We were using strncpy before, which isn't our style for stuff like
this.
This isn't a bug, though: before calling strncpy, we were checking
that strlen(src) was indeed == HEX_DIGEST_LEN, which is less than
sizeof(dst), so there was no way we could fail to NUL-terminate.
Still, strncpy(a,b,sizeof(a)) is an idiom that we ought to squash
everyplace.
Fixes CID #427.
Using strncpy meant that if listenaddress were ever >=
sizeof(sockaddr_un.sun_path), we would fail to nul-terminate
sun_path. This isn't a big deal: we never read sun_path, and the
kernel is smart enough to reject the sockaddr_un if it isn't
nul-terminated. Nonetheless, it's a dumb failure mode. Instead, we
should reject addresses that don't fit in sockaddr_un.sun_path.
Coverity found this; it's CID 428. Bugfix on 0.2.0.3-alpha.
When we rejected a descriptor for not being the one we wanted, we
were letting the parsed descriptor go out of scope.
Found by Coverity; CID # 30.
Bugfix on 0.2.1.26.
(No changes file yet, since this is not in any 0.2.1.x release.)
