In protover.c, the `expand_protocol_list()` function expands a `smartlist_t` of
`proto_entry_t`s to their protocol name concatenated with each version number.
For example, given a `proto_entry_t` like so:
proto_entry_t *proto = tor_malloc(sizeof(proto_entry_t));
proto_range_t *range = tor_malloc_zero(sizeof(proto_range_t));
proto->name = tor_strdup("DoSaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa[19KB]aaa");
proto->ranges = smartlist_new();
range->low = 1;
range->high = 65536;
smartlist_add(proto->ranges, range);
(Where `[19KB]` is roughly 19KB of `"a"` bytes.) This would expand in
`expand_protocol_list()` to a `smartlist_t` containing 65536 copies of the
string, e.g.:
"DoSaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa[19KB]aaa=1"
"DoSaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa[19KB]aaa=2"
[…]
"DoSaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa[19KB]aaa=65535"
Thus constituting a potential resource exhaustion attack.
The Rust implementation is not subject to this attack, because it instead
expands the above string into a `HashMap<String, HashSet<u32>` prior to #24031,
and a `HashMap<UnvalidatedProtocol, ProtoSet>` after). Neither Rust version is
subject to this attack, because it only stores the `String` once per protocol.
(Although a related, but apparently of too minor impact to be usable, DoS bug
has been fixed in #24031. [0])

We alloc/free X.509 structures in three ways:
1) X509 structure allocated with X509_new() and X509_free()
2) Fake X509 structure allocated with fake_x509_malloc() and fake_x509_free()
May contain valid pointers inside.
3) Empty X509 structure shell allocated with tor_malloc_zero() and
freed with tor_free()
Since we're going to be disabling the second-elapsed callback, we're
going to sometimes have long periods when no events file, and so the
current second is not updated. Handle that by having a better means
to detect "clock jumps" as opposed to "being idle for a while".
Tolerate far more of the latter.
Part of #26009.
Previously the coverage on this function was mostly accidental,
coming as it did from test_entryconn.c. These new tests use mocking
to ensure that we actually hit the different failure and retry cases
of addressmap_get_virtual_address(), and make our test coverage a
bit more deterministic.
Closes ticket 25993.
Previously, an authority with a clock more than 60 seconds ahead could
cause a client with a correct clock to warn that the client's clock
was behind. Now the clocks of a majority of directory authorities
have to be ahead of the client before this warning will occur.
Relax the early-consensus check so that a client's clock must be 60
seconds behind the earliest time that a given sufficiently-signed
consensus could possibly be available.
Add a new unit test that calls warn_early_consensus() directly.
Fixes bug 25756; bugfix on 0.2.2.25-alpha.
construct_consensus() in test_routerlist.c created votes using a
timestamp from time(). Tests that called construct_consensus() might
have nondeterministic results if they rely on time() not changing too
much on two successive calls.
Neither existing of the two existing tests that calls
construct_consensus is likely to have a failure due to this problem.
Our previous algorithm had a nonzero probability of picking no
events to cancel, which is of course incorrect. The new code uses
Vitter's good old reservoir sampling "algorithm R" from 1985.
Fixes bug 26008; bugfix on 0.2.6.3-alpha.
