This helps protect against bugs where any part of a buf_t's memory
is passed to a function that expects a NUL-terminated input.
It also closes TROVE-2016-10-001 (aka bug 20384).
This commit adds or improves the module-level documenation for:
buffers.c circuitstats.c command.c connection_edge.c control.c
cpuworker.c crypto_curve25519.c crypto_curve25519.h
crypto_ed25519.c crypto_format.c dircollate.c dirserv.c dns.c
dns_structs.h fp_pair.c geoip.c hibernate.c keypin.c ntmain.c
onion.c onion_fast.c onion_ntor.c onion_tap.c periodic.c
protover.c protover.h reasons.c rephist.c replaycache.c
routerlist.c routerparse.c routerset.c statefile.c status.c
tor_main.c workqueue.c
In particular, I've tried to explain (for each documented module)
what each module does, what's in it, what the big idea is, why it
belongs in Tor, and who calls it. In a few cases, I've added TODO
notes about refactoring opportunities.
I've also renamed an argument, and fixed a few DOCDOC comments.
(I've done this instead of changing the semantics of
router_compare_to_my_exit_policy, because dns.c uses
router_compare_to_my_exit_policy too, in a slightly weird way.)
Some compilers apparently noticed that p2len was allowed to be equal
to msg, and so maybe we would be doing memset(prompt2, ' ', 0), and
decided that we probably meant to do memset(prompt2, 0, 0x20);
instead.
Stupid compilers, doing optimization before this kind of warning!
My fix is to just fill the entire prompt2 buffer with spaces,
because it's harmless.
Bugfix on e59f0d4cb9, not in any released Tor.
Previously, we would reject even rendezvous connections to IPv6
addresses when IPv6Exit was false. But that doesn't make sense; we
don't count that as "exit"ing. I've corrected the logic and tried
to make it a lottle more clear.
Fixes bug 18357; this code has been wrong since 9016d9e829 in
0.2.4.7-alpha.
We removed that feature in 0.2.4.2-alpha, but some comments seem to
have lingered.
I didn't add a changes/ file since this is just internal code cleanup.
(like clients do) rather than old-style router descriptors. Now bridges
will blend in with clients in terms of the circuits they build.
Fixes bug 6769; bugfix on 0.2.3.2-alpha.
Clients that use bridges were ignoring their cached microdesc-flavor
consensus files, because they only thought they should use the microdesc
flavor once they had a known-working bridge that could offer microdescs,
and at first boot no bridges are known-working.
This bug caused bridge-using clients to download a new microdesc consensus
on each startup.
Fixes bug 20269; bugfix on 0.2.3.12-alpha.
The client addr is essentially meaningless in this context (yes, it is
possible to explicitly `bind()` AF_LOCAL client side sockets to a path,
but no one does it, and there are better ways to grant that sort of
feature if people want it like using `SO_PASSCRED`).
As before, we check server protocols whenever server_mode(options)
is true and we check client protocols whenever server_mode(options)
is false.
Additionally, we now _also_ check client protocols whenever any
client port is set.
(Technically, we could just remove extend2 cell checking entirely,
since all Tor versions on our network are required to have it, but
let's keep this around as an example of How To Do It.)
