Notes from the Tor Browser meeting, Oct 22 2018

Hi! We had another weekly Tor Browser meeting yesterday. For those interested in the chat backlog, see: http://meetbot.debian.net/tor-meeting/2018/tor-meeting.2018-10-22-18.00.log.... The items from our pad are: Discussion: - [tjr] TBB 8 Retrospective. Proposed Times: - Tuesday: 3 PM UTC - Thu/Fri 2:30 PM UTC - Either this week or next; same times. (GeKo: Next week Tue 3 PM UTC sounds good) - Ideally would like to get georg, boklm, arthur and anyone else interested tjr - Regrets for missing last weeks meeting and saying nothing - Tickets I think we can close: https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/13410 (Disable self-signed certificate warnings when visiting .onion sites) [GeKo: I don't think we tackled that issue] https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/22162 We did this, right? (Review speculative connections) [GeKo: I don't think we got to that yet] - I want to start filing sandbox tickets. - Specifically: If an attacker's goal is to identify a user outside Tor, by stealing a persistent identifier and causing a proxy bypass, and they can accomplish these goals inside the Content Process, I see no reason to spend efforts on sandboxing the parent first. (Excepting promoting architectural decisions that will make it easier to do the Parent later.) - So I want to file tickets about issues we need to fix in the content process to block the attacker. - First examples: PTCPSocket and PUDPSocket IPC methods look like they would allow this; although I haven't tested - Maybe landing fuzzyfox this week? - mingw-clang - Landed pdb support, and it works! symbolized stack traces, yay! - Got --enable-sandbox to compile with help from Martin - Working on why build doesn't run: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1497895 - Also doing various build cleanup stuff: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1500802 and children; https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1500102 mcs and brade: Last week - Finished #26263 (browser app icon positioned incorrectly in macOS DMG installer window). - With the same patch, we also fixed #25151 (Update Tor Browser branding on installation). - Helped with #28039 (Tor Browser log is not shown anymore in terminal since Tor Browser 8.5a2). - Reviewed the team roadmap, especially our tasks.
