commit 2b825a1a2e6e79fa71b0e038241d2107aaf30d4b Author: Nick Mathewson nickm@torproject.org Date: Tue Oct 1 12:55:42 2019 -0400
Fix a crash bug in max_u16_in_sl()
The documentation for this function says that the smartlist can contain NULLs, but the code only handled NULLs if they were at the start of the list.
We didn't notice this for a long time, because when Tor is run normally, the sequence of msg_id_t is densely packed, and so this list (mapping msg_id_t to channel_id_t) contains no NULL elements. We could only run into this bug: * when Tor was running in embedded mode, and starting more than once. * when Tor ran first with more pubsub messages enabled, and then later with fewer. * When the second run (the one with fewer enabled pubsub messages) had at least some messages enabled, and those messages were not the ones with numerically highest msg_id_t values.
