diff --git a/ChangeLog b/ChangeLog index 667a953..9d20a8a 100644 --- a/ChangeLog +++ b/ChangeLog @@ -1,4 +1,150 @@ -Changes in version 0.2.3.11-alpha - 201?-??-?? +Changes in version 0.2.3.11-alpha - 2012-01-0? + o Major features: + - Now that Tor 0.2.0.x is completely deprecated, enable the final + part of "Proposal 110: Avoiding infinite length circuits" by + refusing all circuit-extend requests that do not use a relay_early + cell. This change helps Tor resist a class of denial-of-service + attacks by limiting the maximum circuit length. + - Adjust the number of introduction points that a hidden service + will try to maintain based on how long its introduction points + remain in use and how many introductions they handle. Fixes + part of bug 3825. + - Try to use system facilities for enumerating local interface + addresses, before falling back to our old approach (which was + binding a UDP socket, and calling getsockname() on it). That + approach was scaring OS X users whose draconian firewall + software warned about binding to UDP sockets, regardless of + whether packets were sent. Now we try to use getifaddrs(), + SIOCGIFCONF, or GetAdaptersAddresses(), depending on what the + system supports. Resolves ticket 1827. + + o Major security workaround: + - When building or running with any version of OpenSSL earlier + than 0.9.8s or 1.0.0f, disable SSLv3 support. These OpenSSL + versions have a bug (CVE-2011-4576) in which their block cipher + padding includes uninitialized data, potentially leaking sensitive + information to any peer with whom they make a SSLv3 connection. Tor + does not use SSL v3 by default, but a hostile client or server + could force an SSLv3 connection in order to gain information that + they shouldn't have been able to get. The best solution here is to + upgrade to OpenSSL 0.9.8s or 1.0.0f (or later). But when building + or running with a non-upgraded OpenSSL, we disable SSLv3 entirely + to make sure that the bug can't happen. + + o Major bugfixes: + - Correct our replacements for the timeradd() and timersub() functions + on platforms that lack them (for example, Windows). The timersub() + function is used when expiring circuits, while timeradd() is + currently unused. Bug report and patch by Vektor. Bugfix on + 0.2.2.24-alpha and 0.2.3.1-alpha; fixes bug 4778. + - Do not use OpenSSL 1.0.0's counter mode: it has a critical bug + that was fixed in OpenSSL 1.0.0a. Fixes bug 4779; bugfix on + Tor 0.2.3.9-alpha. Found by Pascal. + + o Minor features: + - Directory servers now reject versions of Tor older than 0.2.1.30, + and Tor versions between 0.2.2.1-alpha and 0.2.2.20-alpha + (inclusive). These versions accounted for only a small fraction of + the Tor network, and have numerous known security issues. Resolves + issue 4788. + - Use absolute path names when reporting the torrc filename in the + control protocol, so a controller can more easily find the torrc + file. Resolves bug 1101. + - If EntryNodes are given, but UseEntryGuards is set to 0, warn that + EntryNodes will have no effect. Resolves issue 2571. + - Extend the control protocol to report flags that control a circuit's + path selection in CIRC events and in replies to 'GETINFO + circuit-status'. Implements part of ticket 2411. + - Extend the control protocol to report the hidden service address + and current state of a hidden-service-related circuit in CIRC + events and in replies to 'GETINFO circuit-status'. Implements part + of ticket 2411. + - Update to the January 3 2012 Maxmind GeoLite Country database. + + o Minor bugfixes (hidden services): + - Don't close hidden service client circuits which have almost + finished connecting to their destination when they reach + the normal circuit-build timeout. Previously, we would close + introduction circuits which are waiting for an acknowledgement + from the introduction point, and rendezvous circuits which have + been specified in an INTRODUCE1 cell sent to a hidden service, + after the normal CBT. Now, we mark them as 'timed out', and launch + another rendezvous attempt in parallel. This behavior change can + be disabled using the new CloseHSClientCircuitsImmediatelyOnTimeout + option. Fixes part of bug 1297. + - Don't close hidden-service-side rendezvous circuits when they + reach the normal circuit-build timeout. This behaviour change can + be disabled using the new + CloseHSServiceRendCircuitsImmediatelyOnTimeout option. Fixes the + remaining part of bug 1297. + - Make sure we never mark the wrong rendezvous circuit as having + had its introduction cell acknowleged by the introduction-point + relay. Previously, when we received an INTRODUCE_ACK cell on a + client-side hidden-service introduction circuit, we might have + marked a rendezvous circuit other than the one we specified in + the INTRODUCE1 cell as INTRO_ACKED, which would have produced + a warning message and interfered with the hidden service + connection-establishment process. Bugfix on 0.2.3.3-alpha, when we + added the stream-isolation feature which might cause Tor to open + multiple rendezvous circuits for the same hidden service. Fixes + bug 4759. + - Don't trigger an assertion failure when we mark a new client-side + hidden-service introduction circuit for close during the process + of creating it. Bugfix on 0.2.3.6-alpha. Fixes bug 4796; reported + by murb. + + o Minor bugfixes (other): + - Fix null-pointer access that could occur if TLS allocation failed. + Fixes bug 4531; bugfix on 0.2.0.20-rc. Found by "troll_un". This was + erroneously listed as fixed in 0.2.3.9-alpha, but the fix had + accidentally been reverted. + - Fix an assertion failure when, while running with bufferevents, a + connection finishes connecting after it is marked for close, but + before it is closed. Fixes bug 4697; bugfix on 0.2.3.1-alpha. + - Older Linux kernels erroneously respond to strange nmap behavior + by having accept() return successfully with a zero-length + socket. When this happens, just close the connection. Previously, + we would try harder to learn the remote address: but there was + no such remote address to learn, and our method for trying to + learn it was incorrect. Fixes bugs 1240, 4745, and 4747. Bugfix + on 0.1.0.3-rc. Reported and diagnosed by "r1eo". + - test_util_spawn_background_ok() hardcoded the expected value + for ENOENT to 2. This isn't portable as error numbers are + platform specific, and particularly the hurd has ENOENT at + 0x40000002. Construct expected string at runtime, using the correct + value for ENOENT. Fixes bug 4733; bugfix on 0.2.3.1-alpha. + - Correctly spell "connect" in a log message on failure to create a + controlsocket. Fixes bug 4803; bugfix on 0.2.2.26-beta and + 0.2.3.2-alpha. + - During configure, search for library containing cos function as + libm lives in libcore on some platforms (BeOS/Haiku). + Linking against libm was hard-coded before. Bugfix on + 0.2.2.2-alpha; fixes the first part of bug 4727. Patch and + analysis by Martin Hebnes Pedersen. + - Preprocessor directives should not be put inside the arguments + of a macro. This would break compilation with GCC releases prior + to version 3.3. We would never recommend such an old GCC + version, but it is apparently required for binary compatibility + on some platforms (namely, certain builds of Haiku). Bugfix on + 0.2.3.3-alpha; fixes the other part of bug 4727. Patch and + analysis by Martin Hebnes Pedersen. + + - Feature removal: + - When sending or relaying a RELAY_EARLY cell, we used to convert + it to a RELAY cell if the connection was using the v1 link + protocol. This was a workaround for older versions of Tor, which + didn't handle RELAY_EARLY cells properly. Now that all supported + versions can handle RELAY_EARLY cells, and now that we're enforcing + the "no RELAY_EXTEND commands except in RELAY_EARLY cells" rule, + remove this workaround. Addresses bug 4786. + + o Code simplifications and refactoring: + - During configure, detect when we're building with clang version + 3.0 or lower and disable the -Wnormalized=id and -Woverride-init + CFLAGS. clang doesn't support them yet. + - Use OpenSSL's built-in SSL_state_string_long() instead of our + own homebrewed ssl_state_to_string() replacement. Patch from + Emile Snyder. Fixes bug 4653.
