If you want to see more detailed descriptions of the changes in each development snapshot, see the ChangeLog file. +Changes in version 0.3.5.18 - 2022-01-24 + This is the very last version of the 0.3.5.x series as it is end of + life on February 1st, 2022. This version fixes some minor bugs + including a build warning about LibreSSL incompatibility with + OpenSSL TLSv1.3. + + Godspeed 0.3.5, we won't miss you. + + o Minor feature (reproducible build): + - The repository can now build reproducible tarballs which adds the + build command "make dist-reprod" for that purpose. Closes + ticket 26299. + + o Minor features (compilation): + - Give an error message if trying to build with a version of + LibreSSL known not to work with Tor. (There's an incompatibility + with LibreSSL versions 3.2.1 through 3.4.0 inclusive because of + their incompatibility with OpenSSL 1.1.1's TLSv1.3 APIs.) Closes + ticket 40511. + + o Minor bugfix (logging): + - Update a log notice dead URL to a working one. Fixes bug 40544; + bugfix on 0.3.5.1-alpha. + + o Minor bugfix (relay): + - Remove the HSDir and HSIntro onion service v2 protocol versions so + relay stop advertising that they support them. Fixes bug 40509; + bugfix on 0.3.5.17. + + o Minor bugfixes (compilation): + - Fix our configuration logic to detect whether we had OpenSSL 3: + previously, our logic was reversed. This has no other effect than + to change whether we suppress deprecated API warnings. Fixes bug + 40429; bugfix on 0.3.5.13. + + +Changes in version 0.3.5.17 - 2021-10-26 + The major change in this version is that v2 onion services are now + disabled at the client, service, and relay: any Tor nodes running this + version and onward will stop supporting v2 onion services. This is the + last step in the long deprecation process of v2 onion services. + Everyone running an earlier version, whether as a client, a relay, or + an onion service, should upgrade to Tor 0.3.5.17, 0.4.5.11, + or 0.4.6.8. + + o Major feature (onion service v2, backport from 0.4.5.11): + - See https://blog.torproject.org/v2-deprecation-timeline for + details on how to transition from v2 to v3. + - The control port commands HSFETCH and HSPOST no longer allow + version 2, and it is no longer possible to create a v2 service + with ADD_ONION. + - Tor no longer allows creating v2 services, or connecting as a + client to a v2 service. Relays will decline to be a v2 HSDir or + introduction point. This effectively disables onion service + version 2 Tor-wide. Closes ticket 40476. + + o Minor features (bridge, backport from 0.4.6.8): + - We now announce the URL to Tor's new bridge status at + https://bridges.torproject.org/ when Tor is configured to run as a + bridge relay. Closes ticket 30477. + + o Minor features (fallbackdir): + - Regenerate fallback directories for October 2021. Closes + ticket 40493. + + o Minor bugfixes (compatibility, backport from 0.4.6.8): + - Fix compatibility with the most recent Libevent versions, which no + longer have an evdns_set_random_bytes() function. Because this + function has been a no-op since Libevent 2.0.4-alpha, it is safe + for us to just stop calling it. Fixes bug 40371; bugfix + on 0.2.1.7-alpha. + + +Changes in version 0.3.5.16 - 2021-08-16 + This version fixes several bugs from earlier versions of Tor, including one + that could lead to a denial-of-service attack. Everyone running an earlier + version, whether as a client, a relay, or an onion service, should upgrade + to Tor 0.3.5.16, 0.4.5.10, or 0.4.6.7. + + o Major bugfixes (cryptography, security): + - Resolve an assertion failure caused by a behavior mismatch between our + batch-signature verification code and our single-signature verification + code. This assertion failure could be triggered remotely, leading to a + denial of service attack. We fix this issue by disabling batch + verification. Fixes bug 40078; bugfix on 0.2.6.1-alpha. This issue is + also tracked as TROVE-2021-007 and CVE-2021-38385. Found by Henry de + Valence. + + o Minor feature (fallbackdir): + - Regenerate fallback directories list. Close ticket 40447. + + o Minor features (geoip data): + - Update the geoip files to match the IPFire Location Database, + as retrieved on 2021/08/12. + + o Minor bugfix (crypto): + - Disable the unused batch verification feature of ed25519-donna. Fixes + bug 40078; bugfix on 0.2.6.1-alpha. Found by Henry de Valence. + + o Minor bugfixes (relay, backport from 0.4.6.x): + - Reduce the compression level for data streaming from HIGH to LOW. Fixes + bug 40301; bugfix on 0.3.5.1-alpha. + + +Changes in version 0.3.5.15 - 2021-06-14 + Tor 0.3.5.15 fixes several security issues, including a + denial-of-service attack against onion service clients, and another + denial-of-service attack against relays. Everybody should upgrade to + one of 0.3.5.15, 0.4.4.9, 0.4.5.9, or 0.4.6.5. + + o Major bugfixes (security, backport from 0.4.6.5): + - Don't allow relays to spoof RELAY_END or RELAY_RESOLVED cell on + half-closed streams. Previously, clients failed to validate which + hop sent these cells: this would allow a relay on a circuit to end + a stream that wasn't actually built with it. Fixes bug 40389; + bugfix on 0.3.5.1-alpha. This issue is also tracked as TROVE-2021- + 003 and CVE-2021-34548. + + o Major bugfixes (security, defense-in-depth, backport from 0.4.6.5): + - Detect more failure conditions from the OpenSSL RNG code. + Previously, we would detect errors from a missing RNG + implementation, but not failures from the RNG code itself. + Fortunately, it appears those failures do not happen in practice + when Tor is using OpenSSL's default RNG implementation. Fixes bug + 40390; bugfix on 0.2.8.1-alpha. This issue is also tracked as + TROVE-2021-004. Reported by Jann Horn at Google's Project Zero. + + o Major bugfixes (security, denial of service, backport from 0.4.6.5): + - Resist a hashtable-based CPU denial-of-service attack against + relays. Previously we used a naive unkeyed hash function to look + up circuits in a circuitmux object. An attacker could exploit this + to construct circuits with chosen circuit IDs, to create + collisions and make the hash table inefficient. Now we use a + SipHash construction here instead. Fixes bug 40391; bugfix on + 0.2.4.4-alpha. This issue is also tracked as TROVE-2021-005 and + CVE-2021-34549. Reported by Jann Horn from Google's Project Zero. + - Fix an out-of-bounds memory access in v3 onion service descriptor + parsing. An attacker could exploit this bug by crafting an onion + service descriptor that would crash any client that tried to visit + it. Fixes bug 40392; bugfix on 0.3.0.1-alpha. This issue is also + tracked as TROVE-2021-006 and CVE-2021-34550. Reported by Sergei + Glazunov from Google's Project Zero. + + o Minor bugfixes (compiler warnings, backport from 0.4.6.3-rc): + - Fix an indentation problem that led to a warning from GCC 11.1.1. + Fixes bug 40380; bugfix on 0.3.0.1-alpha. + + o Minor features (compatibility, backport from 0.4.6.4-rc): + - Remove an assertion function related to TLS renegotiation. It was + used nowhere outside the unit tests, and it was breaking + compilation with recent alpha releases of OpenSSL 3.0.0. Closes + ticket 40399. + + o Minor features (fallback directory list, backport from 0.4.6.2-alpha): + - Regenerate the list of fallback directories to contain a new set + of 200 relays. Closes ticket 40265. + + o Minor features (geoip data): + - Update the geoip files to match the IPFire Location Database, as + retrieved on 2021/06/10. + + +Changes in version 0.3.5.14 - 2021-03-16 + Tor 0.3.5.14 backports fixes for two important denial-of-service bugs + in earlier versions of Tor. + + One of these vulnerabilities (TROVE-2021-001) would allow an attacker + who can send directory data to a Tor instance to force that Tor + instance to consume huge amounts of CPU. This is easiest to exploit + against authorities, since anybody can upload to them, but directory + caches could also exploit this vulnerability against relays or clients + when they download. The other vulnerability (TROVE-2021-002) only + affects directory authorities, and would allow an attacker to remotely + crash the authority with an assertion failure. Patches have already + been provided to the authority operators, to help ensure + network stability. + + We recommend that everybody upgrade to one of the releases that fixes + these issues (0.3.5.14, 0.4.4.8, or 0.4.5.7) as they become available + to you. + + This release also updates our GeoIP data source, and fixes a + compatibility issue. + + o Major bugfixes (security, denial of service, backport from 0.4.5.7): + - Disable the dump_desc() function that we used to dump unparseable + information to disk. It was called incorrectly in several places, + in a way that could lead to excessive CPU usage. Fixes bug 40286; + bugfix on 0.2.2.1-alpha. This bug is also tracked as TROVE-2021- + 001 and CVE-2021-28089. + - Fix a bug in appending detached signatures to a pending consensus + document that could be used to crash a directory authority. Fixes + bug 40316; bugfix on 0.2.2.6-alpha. Tracked as TROVE-2021-002 + and CVE-2021-28090. + + o Minor features (geoip data, backport from 0.4.5.7): + - We have switched geoip data sources. Previously we shipped IP-to- + country mappings from Maxmind's GeoLite2, but in 2019 they changed + their licensing terms, so we were unable to update them after that + point. We now ship geoip files based on the IPFire Location + Database instead. (See https://location.ipfire.org/ for more + information). This release updates our geoip files to match the + IPFire Location Database as retrieved on 2021/03/12. Closes + ticket 40224. + + o Removed features (mallinfo deprecated, backport from 0.4.5.7): + - Remove mallinfo() usage entirely. Libc 2.33+ now deprecates it. + Closes ticket 40309. + + +Changes in version 0.3.5.13 - 2020-02-03 + Tor 0.3.5.13 backports numerous bugfixes from later releases, + including one that made v3 onion services more susceptible to + denial-of-service attacks, and a feature that makes some kinds of + DoS attacks harder to perform. + + o Major bugfixes (onion service v3, backport from 0.4.5.3-rc): + - Stop requiring a live consensus for v3 clients and services, and + allow a "reasonably live" consensus instead. This allows v3 onion + services to work even if the authorities fail to generate a + consensus for more than 2 hours in a row. Fixes bug 40237; bugfix + on 0.3.5.1-alpha. + + o Major bugfixes (stats, onion services, backport from 0.4.4.5): + - Fix a bug where we were undercounting the Tor network's total + onion service traffic, by ignoring any traffic originating from + clients. Now we count traffic from both clients and services. + Fixes bug 40117; bugfix on 0.2.6.2-alpha. + + o Major feature (exit, backport from 0.4.5.5-rc): + - Re-entry into the network is now denied at the Exit level to all + relays' ORPorts and authorities' ORPorts and DirPorts. This change + should help mitgate a set of denial-of-service attacks. Closes + ticket 2667. + + o Minor feature (build system, backport from 0.4.5.4-rc): + - New "make lsp" command to generate the compile_commands.json file + used by the ccls language server. The "bear" program is needed for + this. Closes ticket 40227. + + o Minor features (compilation, backport from 0.4.5.2-rc): + - Disable deprecation warnings when building with OpenSSL 3.0.0 or + later. There are a number of APIs newly deprecated in OpenSSL + 3.0.0 that Tor still requires. (A later version of Tor will try to + stop depending on these APIs.) Closes ticket 40165. + + o Minor features (crypto, backport from 0.4.5.3-rc): + - Fix undefined behavior on our Keccak library. The bug only + appeared on platforms with 32-byte CPU cache lines (e.g. armv5tel) + and would result in wrong digests. Fixes bug 40210; bugfix on + 0.2.8.1-alpha. Thanks to Bernhard Übelacker, Arnd Bergmann and + weasel for diagnosing this. + + o Minor bugfixes (compatibility, backport from 0.4.5.1-rc): + - Strip '\r' characters when reading text files on Unix platforms. + This should resolve an issue where a relay operator migrates a + relay from Windows to Unix, but does not change the line ending of + Tor's various state files to match the platform, and the CRLF line + endings from Windows end up leaking into other files such as the + extra-info document. Fixes bug 33781; bugfix on 0.0.9pre5. + + o Minor bugfixes (compilation, backport from 0.4.5.1-rc): + - Resolve a compilation warning that could occur in + test_connection.c. Fixes bug 40113; bugfix on 0.2.9.3-alpha. + + o Minor bugfixes (compilation, backport from 0.4.5.3-rc): + - Fix a compilation warning about unreachable fallthrough + annotations when building with "--enable-all-bugs-are-fatal" on + some compilers. Fixes bug 40241; bugfix on 0.3.5.4-alpha. + + o Minor bugfixes (SOCKS5, backport from 0.4.5.3-rc): + - Handle partial SOCKS5 messages correctly. Previously, our code + would send an incorrect error message if it got a SOCKS5 request + that wasn't complete. Fixes bug 40190; bugfix on 0.3.5.1-alpha. + + o Minor bugfixes (testing, backport from 0.4.5.2-alpha): + - Fix our Python reference-implementation for the v3 onion service + handshake so that it works correctly with the version of hashlib + provided by Python 3.9. Fixes part of bug 40179; bugfix + on 0.3.1.6-rc. + - Fix the `tortls/openssl/log_one_error` test to work with OpenSSL + 3.0.0. Fixes bug 40170; bugfix on 0.2.8.1-alpha. + + +Changes in version 0.3.5.12 - 2020-11-12 + Tor 0.4.3.7 backports several bugfixes from later releases. It + includes a fix for TROVE-2020-005, a security issue that could be + used, under certain cases, by an adversary to observe traffic patterns + on a limited number of circuits intended for a different relay. + + o Major features (fallback directory list, backport form 0.4.4.3-alpha): + - Replace the 148 fallback directories originally included in Tor + 0.4.1.4-rc (of which around 105 are still functional) with a list + of 144 fallbacks generated in July 2020. Closes ticket 40061. + + o Major bugfixes (security, backport from 0.4.5.1-alpha): + - When completing a channel, relays now check more thoroughly to + make sure that it matches any pending circuits before attaching + those circuits. Previously, address correctness and Ed25519 + identities were not checked in this case, but only when extending + circuits on an existing channel. Fixes bug 40080; bugfix on + 0.2.7.2-alpha. Resolves TROVE-2020-005. + + o Major bugfixes (NSS, backport from 0.4.4.3-alpha): + - When running with NSS enabled, make sure that NSS knows to expect + nonblocking sockets. Previously, we set our TCP sockets as + nonblocking, but did not tell NSS, which in turn could lead to + unexpected blocking behavior. Fixes bug 40035; bugfix + on 0.3.5.1-alpha. + + o Minor features (security, backport from 0.4.4.4-rc): + - Channels using obsolete versions of the Tor link protocol are no + longer allowed to circumvent address-canonicity checks. (This is + only a minor issue, since such channels have no way to set ed25519 + keys, and therefore should always be rejected for circuits that + specify ed25519 identities.) Closes ticket 40081. + + o Minor features (debugging, directory system): + - Don't crash when we find a non-guard with a guard-fraction value + set. Instead, log a bug warning, in an attempt to figure out how + this happened. Diagnostic for ticket 32868. + + o Minor features (subprotocol versions, backport from 0.4.5.1-alpha): + - Tor no longer allows subprotocol versions larger than 63. + Previously version numbers up to UINT32_MAX were allowed, which + significantly complicated our code. Implements proposal 318; + closes ticket 40133. + + o Minor features (tests, backport from 0.4.4.5): + - Our "make check" target now runs the unit tests in 8 parallel + chunks. Doing this speeds up hardened CI builds by more than a + factor of two. Closes ticket 40098. + + o Minor features (tests, v2 onion services, backport from 0.4.5.1-alpha): + - Fix a rendezvous cache unit test that was triggering an underflow + on the global rend cache allocation. Fixes bug 40125; bugfix + on 0.2.8.1-alpha. + - Fix another rendezvous cache unit test that was triggering an + underflow on the global rend cache allocation. Fixes bug 40126; + bugfix on 0.2.8.1-alpha. + + o Minor bugfixes (correctness, buffers, backport from 0.4.4.4-rc): + - Fix a correctness bug that could cause an assertion failure if we + ever tried using the buf_move_all() function with an empty input + buffer. As far as we know, no released versions of Tor do this. + Fixes bug 40076; bugfix on 0.3.3.1-alpha. + + o Minor bugfixes (logging, backport from 0.4.5.1-alpha): + - Remove a debug logging statement that uselessly spammed the logs. + Fixes bug 40135; bugfix on 0.3.5.0-alpha. + + o Minor bugfixes (rate limiting, bridges, pluggable transports, backport from 0.4.4.4-rc): + - On a bridge, treat all connections from an ExtORPort as remote by + default for the purposes of rate-limiting. Previously, bridges + would treat the connection as local unless they explicitly + received a "USERADDR" command. ExtORPort connections still count + as local if there is a USERADDR command with an explicit local + address. Fixes bug 33747; bugfix on 0.2.5.1-alpha. + + o Minor bugfixes (relay configuration, crash, backport from 0.4.5.1-alpha): + - Avoid a fatal assert() when failing to create a listener + connection for an address that was in use. Fixes bug 40073; bugfix + on 0.3.5.1-alpha. + + o Minor bugfixes (relay, usability, backport from 0.4.4.3-alpha): + - Adjust the rules for when to warn about having too many + connections to other relays. Previously we'd tolerate up to 1.5 + connections per relay on average. Now we tolerate more connections + for directory authorities, and raise the number of total + connections we need to see before we warn. Fixes bug 33880; bugfix + on 0.3.1.1-alpha. + + o Minor bugfixes (relays, backport from 0.4.4.1-alpha): + - Stop advertising incorrect IPv6 ORPorts in relay and bridge + descriptors, when the IPv6 port was configured as "auto". Fixes + bug 32588; bugfix on 0.2.3.9-alpha. + + o Minor bugfixes (tests, 0.4.4.5): + - Fix the behavior of the rend_cache/clean_v2_descs_as_dir when run + on its own. Previously, it would exit with an error. Fixes bug + 40099; bugfix on 0.2.8.1-alpha. + + o Minor bugfixes (windows, backport from 0.4.4.4-rc): + - Fix a bug that prevented Tor from starting if its log file grew + above 2GB. Fixes bug 31036; bugfix on 0.2.1.8-alpha. + + o Deprecated features (onion service v2, backport form 0.4.4.2-alpha): + - Add a deprecation warning for version 2 onion services. Closes + ticket 40003. + + +Changes in version 0.3.5.11 - 2020-07-09 + Tor 0.3.5.11 backports fixes from later tor releases, including several + usability, portability, and reliability fixes. + + This release also fixes TROVE-2020-001, a medium-severity denial of + service vulnerability affecting all versions of Tor when compiled with + the NSS encryption library. (This is not the default configuration.) + Using this vulnerability, an attacker could cause an affected Tor + instance to crash remotely. This issue is also tracked as CVE-2020- + 15572. Anybody running a version of Tor built with the NSS library + should upgrade to 0.3.5.11, 0.4.2.8, 0.4.3.6, or 0.4.4.2-alpha + or later. + + o Major bugfixes (NSS, security, backport from 0.4.4.2-alpha): + - Fix a crash due to an out-of-bound memory access when Tor is + compiled with NSS support. Fixes bug 33119; bugfix on + 0.3.5.1-alpha. This issue is also tracked as TROVE-2020-001 + and CVE-2020-15572. + + o Major bugfixes (DoS defenses, bridges, pluggable transport, backport from 0.4.3.4-rc): + - Fix a bug that was preventing DoS defenses from running on bridges + with a pluggable transport. Previously, the DoS subsystem was not + given the transport name of the client connection, thus failed to + find the GeoIP cache entry for that client address. Fixes bug + 33491; bugfix on 0.3.3.2-alpha. + + o Minor features (testing, backport from 0.4.3.4-rc): + - The unit tests now support a "TOR_SKIP_TESTCASES" environment + variable to specify a list of space-separated test cases that + should not be executed. We will use this to disable certain tests + that are failing on Appveyor because of mismatched OpenSSL + libraries. Part of ticket 33643. + + o Minor bugfix (CI, Windows, backport from 0.4.4.2-alpha): + - Use the correct 64-bit printf format when compiling with MINGW on + Appveyor. Fixes bug 40026; bugfix on 0.3.5.5-alpha. + + o Minor bugfix (relay, configuration, backport from 0.4.3.3-alpha): + - Warn if the ContactInfo field is not set, and tell the relay + operator that not having a ContactInfo field set might cause their + relay to get rejected in the future. Fixes bug 33361; bugfix + on 0.1.1.10-alpha. + + o Minor bugfixes (client performance, backport from 0.4.4.1-alpha): + - Resume use of preemptively-built circuits when UseEntryGuards is set + to 0. We accidentally disabled this feature with that config + setting, leading to slower load times. Fixes bug 34303; bugfix + on 0.3.3.2-alpha. + + o Minor bugfixes (compiler compatibility, backport from 0.4.3.5): + - Avoid compiler warnings from Clang 10 related to the use of GCC- + style "/* falls through */" comments. Both Clang and GCC allow + __attribute__((fallthrough)) instead, so that's what we're using + now. Fixes bug 34078; bugfix on 0.3.1.3-alpha. + + o Minor bugfixes (compiler warnings, backport from 0.4.4.2-alpha): + - Fix a compiler warning on platforms with 32-bit time_t values. + Fixes bug 40028; bugfix on 0.3.2.8-rc. + + o Minor bugfixes (embedded Tor, backport from 0.4.3.1-alpha): + - When starting Tor any time after the first time in a process, + register the thread in which it is running as the main thread. + Previously, we only did this on Windows, which could lead to bugs + like 23081 on non-Windows platforms. Fixes bug 32884; bugfix + on 0.3.3.1-alpha. + + o Minor bugfixes (key portability, backport from 0.4.3.4-rc): + - When reading PEM-encoded key data, tolerate CRLF line-endings even + if we are not running on Windows. Previously, non-Windows hosts + would reject these line-endings in certain positions, making + certain key files hard to move from one host to another. Fixes bug + 33032; bugfix on 0.3.5.1-alpha. + + o Minor bugfixes (logging, backport from 0.4.4.2-alpha): + - Downgrade a noisy log message that could occur naturally when + receiving an extrainfo document that we no longer want. Fixes bug + 16016; bugfix on 0.2.6.3-alpha. + + o Minor bugfixes (onion service v3, client, backport from 0.4.3.3-alpha): + - Remove a BUG() warning that would cause a stack trace if an onion + service descriptor was freed while we were waiting for a + rendezvous circuit to complete. Fixes bug 28992; bugfix + on 0.3.2.1-alpha. + + o Testing (CI, backport from 0.4.3.4-rc): + - In our Appveyor Windows CI, copy required DLLs to test and app + directories, before running tor's tests. This ensures that tor.exe + and test*.exe use the correct version of each DLL. This fix is not + required, but we hope it will avoid DLL search issues in future. + Fixes bug 33673; bugfix on 0.3.4.2-alpha. + - On Appveyor, skip the crypto/openssl_version test, which is + failing because of a mismatched library installation. Fix + for 33643. + + +Changes in version 0.3.5.10 - 2020-03-18 + Tor 0.3.5.10 backports many fixes from later Tor releases, including a + fix for TROVE-2020-002, a major denial-of-service vulnerability that + affected all released Tor instances since 0.2.1.5-alpha. Using this + vulnerability, an attacker could cause Tor instances to consume a huge + amount of CPU, disrupting their operations for several seconds or + minutes. This attack could be launched by anybody against a relay, or + by a directory cache against any client that had connected to it. The + attacker could launch this attack as much as they wanted, thereby + disrupting service or creating patterns that could aid in traffic + analysis. This issue was found by OSS-Fuzz, and is also tracked + as CVE-2020-10592. + + We do not have reason to believe that this attack is currently being + exploited in the wild, but nonetheless we advise everyone to upgrade + as soon as packages are available. + + o Major bugfixes (security, denial-of-service, backport from 0.4.3.3-alpha): + - Fix a denial-of-service bug that could be used by anyone to + consume a bunch of CPU on any Tor relay or authority, or by + directories to consume a bunch of CPU on clients or hidden + services. Because of the potential for CPU consumption to + introduce observable timing patterns, we are treating this as a + high-severity security issue. Fixes bug 33119; bugfix on + 0.2.1.5-alpha. Found by OSS-Fuzz. We are also tracking this issue + as TROVE-2020-002 and CVE-2020-10592. + + o Major bugfixes (linux seccomp sandbox, backport from 0.4.3.1-alpha): + - Correct how we use libseccomp. Particularly, stop assuming that + rules are applied in a particular order or that more rules are + processed after the first match. Neither is the case! In + libseccomp <2.4.0 this lead to some rules having no effect. + libseccomp 2.4.0 changed how rules are generated, leading to a + different ordering, which in turn led to a fatal crash during + startup. Fixes bug 29819; bugfix on 0.2.5.1-alpha. Patch by + Peter Gerber. + + o Minor features (continuous integration, backport from 0.4.3.2-alpha): + - Stop allowing failures on the Travis CI stem tests job. It looks + like all the stem hangs we were seeing before are now fixed. + Closes ticket 33075. + + o Minor bugfixes (bridges, backport from 0.4.3.1-alpha): + - Lowercase the configured value of BridgeDistribution before adding + it to the descriptor. Fixes bug 32753; bugfix on 0.3.2.3-alpha. + + o Minor bugfixes (crash, backport from 0.4.2.4-rc): + - When running Tor with an option like --verify-config or + --dump-config that does not start the event loop, avoid crashing + if we try to exit early because of an error. Fixes bug 32407; + bugfix on 0.3.3.1-alpha. + + o Minor bugfixes (logging, backport from 0.4.3.2-alpha): + - If we encounter a bug when flushing a buffer to a TLS connection, + only log the bug once per invocation of the Tor process. + Previously we would log with every occurrence, which could cause + us to run out of disk space. Fixes bug 33093; bugfix + on 0.3.2.2-alpha. + + o Minor bugfixes (onion services v3, backport from 0.4.3.3-alpha): + - Fix an assertion failure that could result from a corrupted + ADD_ONION control port command. Found by Saibato. Fixes bug 33137; + bugfix on 0.3.3.1-alpha. This issue is also tracked + as TROVE-2020-003. + + o Minor bugfixes (rust, build, backport from 0.4.3.2-alpha): + - Fix a syntax warning given by newer versions of Rust that was + creating problems for our continuous integration. Fixes bug 33212; + bugfix on 0.3.5.1-alpha. + + o Testing (backport from 0.4.3.1-alpha): + - Re-enable the Travis CI macOS Chutney build, but don't let it + prevent the Travis job from finishing. (The Travis macOS jobs are + slow, so we don't want to have it delay the whole CI process.) + Closes ticket 32629. + - Turn off Tor's Sandbox in Chutney jobs, and run those jobs on + Ubuntu Bionic. Turning off the Sandbox is a work-around, until we + fix the sandbox errors in 32722. Closes ticket 32240. + + o Testing (continuous integration, backport from 0.4.3.1-alpha): + - Use zstd in our Travis Linux builds. Closes ticket 32242. + + o Testing (Travis CI, backport from 0.4.3.3-alpha): + - Remove a redundant distcheck job. Closes ticket 33194. + - Sort the Travis jobs in order of speed: putting the slowest jobs + first takes full advantage of Travis job concurrency. Closes + ticket 33194. + - Stop allowing the Chutney IPv6 Travis job to fail. This job was + previously configured to fast_finish (which requires + - When a Travis chutney job fails, use chutney's new "diagnostics.sh" + tool to produce detailed diagnostic output. Closes ticket 32792. + + +Changes in version 0.3.5.9 - 2019-12-09 + Tor 0.3.5.9 backports serveral fixes from later releases, including + several that affect bridge users, relay stability, onion services, + and much more. + + o Directory authority changes (backport from 0.4.1.5): + - The directory authority "dizum" has a new IP address. Closes + ticket 31406. + + o Major bugfixes (bridges, backport from 0.4.1.2-alpha): + - Consider our directory information to have changed when our list + of bridges changes. Previously, Tor would not re-compute the + status of its directory information when bridges changed, and + therefore would not realize that it was no longer able to build + circuits. Fixes part of bug 29875. + - Do not count previously configured working bridges towards our + total of working bridges. Previously, when Tor's list of bridges + changed, it would think that the old bridges were still usable, + and delay fetching router descriptors for the new ones. Fixes part + of bug 29875; bugfix on 0.3.0.1-alpha. + + o Major bugfixes (circuit build, guard, backport from 0.4.1.4-rc): + - When considering upgrading circuits from "waiting for guard" to + "open", always ignore circuits that are marked for close. Otherwise, + we can end up in the situation where a subsystem is notified that + a closing circuit has just opened, leading to undesirable + behavior. Fixes bug 30871; bugfix on 0.3.0.1-alpha. + + o Major bugfixes (NSS, relay, backport from 0.4.0.4-rc): + - When running with NSS, disable TLS 1.2 ciphersuites that use + SHA384 for their PRF. Due to an NSS bug, the TLS key exporters for + these ciphersuites don't work -- which caused relays to fail to + handshake with one another when these ciphersuites were enabled. + Fixes bug 29241; bugfix on 0.3.5.1-alpha. + + o Major bugfixes (Onion service reachability, backport from 0.4.1.3-alpha): + - Properly clean up the introduction point map when circuits change + purpose from onion service circuits to pathbias, measurement, or + other circuit types. This should fix some service-side instances + of introduction point failure. Fixes bug 29034; bugfix + on 0.3.2.1-alpha. + + o Major bugfixes (onion service v3, backport from 0.4.1.1-alpha): + - Fix an unreachable bug in which an introduction point could try to + send an INTRODUCE_ACK with a status code that Trunnel would refuse + to encode, leading the relay to assert(). We've consolidated the + ABI values into Trunnel now. Fixes bug 30454; bugfix + on 0.3.0.1-alpha. + - Clients can now handle unknown status codes from INTRODUCE_ACK + cells. (The NACK behavior will stay the same.) This will allow us + to extend status codes in the future without breaking the normal + client behavior. Fixes another part of bug 30454; bugfix + on 0.3.0.1-alpha. + + o Major bugfixes (torrc parsing, backport from 0.4.2.2-alpha): + - Stop ignoring torrc options after an %include directive, when the + included directory ends with a file that does not contain any + config options (but does contain comments or whitespace). Fixes + bug 31408; bugfix on 0.3.1.1-alpha. + + o Major bugfixes (v3 onion services, backport from 0.4.2.3-alpha): + - Onion services now always use the exact number of intro points + configured with the HiddenServiceNumIntroductionPoints option (or + fewer if nodes are excluded). Before, a service could sometimes + pick more intro points than configured. Fixes bug 31548; bugfix + on 0.3.2.1-alpha. + + o Minor features (address selection, backport from 0.4.0.3-alpha): + - Treat the subnet 100.64.0.0/10 as public for some purposes; + private for others. This subnet is the RFC 6598 (Carrier Grade + NAT) IP range, and is deployed by many ISPs as an alternative to + RFC 1918 that does not break existing internal networks. Tor now + blocks SOCKS and control ports on these addresses and warns users + if client ports or ExtORPorts are listening on a RFC 6598 address. + Closes ticket 28525. Patch by Neel Chauhan. + + o Minor features (bandwidth authority, backport from 0.4.0.4-rc): + - Make bandwidth authorities ignore relays that are reported in the + bandwidth file with the flag "vote=0". This change allows us to + report unmeasured relays for diagnostic reasons without including + their bandwidth in the bandwidth authorities' vote. Closes + ticket 29806. + + o Minor features (compile-time modules, backport from version 0.4.1.1-alpha): + - Add a "--list-modules" command to print a list of which compile- + time modules are enabled. Closes ticket 30452. + + o Minor features (continuous integration, backport from 0.4.0.4-rc): + - On Travis Rust builds, cleanup Rust registry and refrain from + caching the "target/" directory to speed up builds. Resolves + issue 29962. + + o Minor features (continuous integration, backport from 0.4.0.5): + - In Travis, tell timelimit to use stem's backtrace signals, and + launch python directly from timelimit, so python receives the + signals from timelimit, rather than make. Closes ticket 30117. + + o Minor features (continuous integration, backport from 0.4.1.1-alpha): + - Remove sudo configuration lines from .travis.yml as they are no + longer needed with current Travis build environment. Resolves + issue 30213. + + o Minor features (continuous integration, backport from 0.4.1.4-rc): + - Our Travis configuration now uses Chutney to run some network + integration tests automatically. Closes ticket 29280. + + o Minor features (continuous integration, backport from 0.4.2.2-alpha): + - When building on Appveyor and Travis, pass the "-k" flag to make, + so that we are informed of all compilation failures, not just the + first one or two. Closes ticket 31372. + + o Minor features (fallback directory list, backport from 0.4.1.4-rc): + - Replace the 157 fallbacks originally introduced in Tor 0.3.5.6-rc + in December 2018 (of which ~122 were still functional), with a + list of 148 fallbacks (70 new, 78 existing, 79 removed) generated + in June 2019. Closes ticket 28795. + + o Minor features (geoip, backport from 0.4.2.5): + - Update geoip and geoip6 to the December 3 2019 Maxmind GeoLite2 + Country database. Closes ticket 32685. + + o Minor features (NSS, diagnostic, backport from 0.4.0.4-rc): + - Try to log an error from NSS (if there is any) and a more useful + description of our situation if we are using NSS and a call to + SSL_ExportKeyingMaterial() fails. Diagnostic for ticket 29241. + + o Minor features (stem tests, backport from 0.4.2.1-alpha): + - Change "make test-stem" so it only runs the stem tests that use + tor. This change makes test-stem faster and more reliable. Closes + ticket 31554. + + o Minor bugfixes (security, backport from 0.4.0.4-rc): + - Verify in more places that we are not about to create a buffer + with more than INT_MAX bytes, to avoid possible OOB access in the + event of bugs. Fixes bug 30041; bugfix on 0.2.0.16. Found and + fixed by Tobias Stoeckmann. + - Fix a potential double free bug when reading huge bandwidth files. + The issue is not exploitable in the current Tor network because + the vulnerable code is only reached when directory authorities + read bandwidth files, but bandwidth files come from a trusted + source (usually the authorities themselves). Furthermore, the + issue is only exploitable in rare (non-POSIX) 32-bit architectures, + which are not used by any of the current authorities. Fixes bug + 30040; bugfix on 0.3.5.1-alpha. Bug found and fixed by + Tobias Stoeckmann. + + o Minor bugfix (continuous integration, backport from 0.4.0.4-rc): + - Reset coverage state on disk after Travis CI has finished. This + should prevent future coverage merge errors from causing the test + suite for the "process" subsystem to fail. The process subsystem + was introduced in 0.4.0.1-alpha. Fixes bug 29036; bugfix + on 0.2.9.15. + - Terminate test-stem if it takes more than 9.5 minutes to run. + (Travis terminates the job after 10 minutes of no output.) + Diagnostic for 29437. Fixes bug 30011; bugfix on 0.3.5.4-alpha. + + o Minor bugfixes (Appveyor CI, backport from 0.4.2.2-alpha): + - Avoid spurious errors when Appveyor CI fails before the install step. + Fixes bug 31884; bugfix on 0.3.4.2-alpha. + + o Minor bugfixes (build system, backport form 0.4.2.1-alpha): + - Do not include the deprecated <sys/sysctl.h> on Linux or Windows + systems. Fixes bug 31673; bugfix on 0.2.5.4-alpha. + + o Minor bugfixes (C correctness, backport from 0.4.0.4-rc): + - Fix an unlikely memory leak in consensus_diff_apply(). Fixes bug + 29824; bugfix on 0.3.1.1-alpha. This is Coverity warning + CID 1444119. + + o Minor bugfixes (circuit isolation, backport from 0.4.1.3-alpha): + - Fix a logic error that prevented the SessionGroup sub-option from + being accepted. Fixes bug 22619; bugfix on 0.2.7.2-alpha. + + o Minor bugfixes (client, onion service v3, backport from 0.4.2.4-rc): + - Fix a BUG() assertion that occurs within a very small race window + between when a client intro circuit opens and when its descriptor + gets cleaned up from the cache. The circuit is now closed early, + which will trigger a re-fetch of the descriptor and continue the + connection. Fixes bug 28970; bugfix on 0.3.2.1-alpha. + + o Minor bugfixes (clock skew detection, backport from 0.4.1.5): + - Don't believe clock skew results from NETINFO cells that appear to + arrive before we sent the VERSIONS cells they are responding to. + Previously, we would accept them up to 3 minutes "in the past". + Fixes bug 31343; bugfix on 0.2.4.4-alpha. + + o Minor bugfixes (compilation warning, backport from 0.4.1.5): + - Fix a compilation warning on Windows about casting a function + pointer for GetTickCount64(). Fixes bug 31374; bugfix + on 0.2.9.1-alpha. + + o Minor bugfixes (compilation, backport from 0.4.0.2-alpha): + - Silence a compiler warning in test-memwipe.c on OpenBSD. Fixes bug + 29145; bugfix on 0.2.9.3-alpha. Patch from Kris Katterjohn. + + o Minor bugfixes (compilation, backport from 0.4.1.5): + - Avoid using labs() on time_t, which can cause compilation warnings + on 64-bit Windows builds. Fixes bug 31343; bugfix on 0.2.4.4-alpha. + + o Minor bugfixes (compilation, backport from 0.4.2.1-alpha): + - Suppress spurious float-conversion warnings from GCC when calling + floating-point classifier functions on FreeBSD. Fixes part of bug + 31687; bugfix on 0.3.1.5-alpha. + + o Minor bugfixes (compilation, unusual configurations, backport from 0.4.1.1-alpha): + - Avoid failures when building with the ALL_BUGS_ARE_FATAL option + due to missing declarations of abort(), and prevent other such + failures in the future. Fixes bug 30189; bugfix on 0.3.4.1-alpha. + + o Minor bugfixes (configuration, proxies, backport from 0.4.1.2-alpha): + - Fix a bug that prevented us from supporting SOCKS5 proxies that + want authentication along with configured (but unused!) + ClientTransportPlugins. Fixes bug 29670; bugfix on 0.2.6.1-alpha. + + o Minor bugfixes (connections, backport from 0.4.2.3-rc): + - Avoid trying to read data from closed connections, which can cause + needless loops in Libevent and infinite loops in Shadow. Fixes bug + 30344; bugfix on 0.1.1.1-alpha. + + o Minor bugfixes (continuous integration, backport from 0.4.1.3-alpha): + - Allow the test-stem job to fail in Travis, because it sometimes + hangs. Fixes bug 30744; bugfix on 0.3.5.4-alpha. + - Skip test_rebind on macOS in Travis, because it is unreliable on + macOS on Travis. Fixes bug 30713; bugfix on 0.3.5.1-alpha. + - Skip test_rebind when the TOR_SKIP_TEST_REBIND environment + variable is set. Fixes bug 30713; bugfix on 0.3.5.1-alpha. + + o Minor bugfixes (crash on exit, backport from 0.4.1.4-rc): + - Avoid a set of possible code paths that could try to use freed + memory in routerlist_free() while Tor was exiting. Fixes bug + 31003; bugfix on 0.1.2.2-alpha. + + o Minor bugfixes (directory authorities, backport from 0.4.1.3-alpha): + - Stop crashing after parsing an unknown descriptor purpose + annotation. We think this bug can only be triggered by modifying a + local file. Fixes bug 30781; bugfix on 0.2.0.8-alpha. + + o Minor bugfixes (directory authority, backport from 0.4.1.2-alpha): + - Move the "bandwidth-file-headers" line in directory authority + votes so that it conforms to dir-spec.txt. Fixes bug 30316; bugfix + on 0.3.5.1-alpha. + + o Minor bugfixes (error handling, backport from 0.4.2.1-alpha): + - On abort, try harder to flush the output buffers of log messages. + On some platforms (macOS), log messages could be discarded when + the process terminates. Fixes bug 31571; bugfix on 0.3.5.1-alpha. + - Report the tor version whenever an assertion fails. Previously, we + only reported the Tor version on some crashes, and some non-fatal + assertions. Fixes bug 31571; bugfix on 0.3.5.1-alpha. + + o Minor bugfixes (FreeBSD, PF-based proxy, IPv6, backport from 0.4.2.1-alpha): + - When extracting an IPv6 address from a PF-based proxy, verify that + we are actually configured to receive an IPv6 address, and log an + internal error if not. Fixes part of bug 31687; bugfix + on 0.2.3.4-alpha. + + o Minor bugfixes (guards, backport from 0.4.2.1-alpha): + - When tor is missing descriptors for some primary entry guards, + make the log message less alarming. It's normal for descriptors to + expire, as long as tor fetches new ones soon after. Fixes bug + 31657; bugfix on 0.3.3.1-alpha. + + o Minor bugfixes (logging, backport from 0.4.0.2-alpha): + - Avoid logging that we are relaxing a circuit timeout when that + timeout is fixed. Fixes bug 28698; bugfix on 0.2.4.7-alpha. + + o Minor bugfixes (logging, backport from 0.4.0.3-alpha): + - Correct a misleading error message when IPv4Only or IPv6Only is + used but the resolved address can not be interpreted as an address + of the specified IP version. Fixes bug 13221; bugfix on + 0.2.3.9-alpha. Patch from Kris Katterjohn. + - Log the correct port number for listening sockets when "auto" is + used to let Tor pick the port number. Previously, port 0 was + logged instead of the actual port number. Fixes bug 29144; bugfix + on 0.3.5.1-alpha. Patch from Kris Katterjohn. + - Stop logging a BUG() warning when Tor is waiting for exit + descriptors. Fixes bug 28656; bugfix on 0.3.5.1-alpha. + + o Minor bugfixes (logging, backport from 0.4.1.1-alpha): + - Do not log a warning when running with an OpenSSL version other + than the one Tor was compiled with, if the two versions should be + compatible. Previously, we would warn whenever the version was + different. Fixes bug 30190; bugfix on 0.2.4.2-alpha. + + o Minor bugfixes (logging, backport from 0.4.2.1-alpha): + - Change log level of message "Hash of session info was not as + expected" to LOG_PROTOCOL_WARN. Fixes bug 12399; bugfix + on 0.1.1.10-alpha. + + o Minor bugfixes (logging, backport from 0.4.2.2-alpha): + - Rate-limit our the logging message about the obsolete .exit + notation. Previously, there was no limit on this warning, which + could potentially be triggered many times by a hostile website. + Fixes bug 31466; bugfix on 0.2.2.1-alpha. + + o Minor bugfixes (logging, protocol violations, backport from 0.4.2.2-alpha): + - Do not log a nonfatal assertion failure when receiving a VERSIONS + cell on a connection using the obsolete v1 link protocol. Log a + protocol_warn instead. Fixes bug 31107; bugfix on 0.2.4.4-alpha. + + o Minor bugfixes (mainloop, periodic events, in-process API, backport from 0.4.2.3-alpha): + - Reset the periodic events' "enabled" flag when Tor is shut down + cleanly. Previously, this flag was left on, which caused periodic + events not to be re-enabled when Tor was relaunched in-process + with tor_api.h after a shutdown. Fixes bug 32058; bugfix + on 0.3.3.1-alpha. + + o Minor bugfixes (memory leak, backport from 0.4.1.1-alpha): + - Avoid a minor memory leak that could occur on relays when failing + to create a "keys" directory. Fixes bug 30148; bugfix + on 0.3.3.1-alpha. + + o Minor bugfixes (memory leak, backport from 0.4.1.4-rc): + - Fix a trivial memory leak when parsing an invalid value + from a download schedule in the configuration. Fixes bug + 30894; bugfix on 0.3.4.1-alpha. + + o Minor bugfixes (memory management, backport from 0.4.0.3-alpha): + - Refactor the shared random state's memory management so that it + actually takes ownership of the shared random value pointers. + Fixes bug 29706; bugfix on 0.2.9.1-alpha. + + o Minor bugfixes (memory management, testing, backport from 0.4.0.3-alpha): + - Stop leaking parts of the shared random state in the shared-random + unit tests. Fixes bug 29599; bugfix on 0.2.9.1-alpha. + + o Minor bugfixes (onion services, backport from 0.4.1.1-alpha): + - Avoid a GCC 9.1.1 warning (and possible crash depending on libc + implemenation) when failing to load an onion service client + authorization file. Fixes bug 30475; bugfix on 0.3.5.1-alpha. + + o Minor bugfixes (out-of-memory handler, backport from 0.4.1.2-alpha): + - When purging the DNS cache because of an out-of-memory condition, + try purging just the older entries at first. Previously, we would + always purge the whole thing. Fixes bug 29617; bugfix + on 0.3.5.1-alpha. + + o Minor bugfixes (portability, backport from 0.4.1.2-alpha): + - Avoid crashing in our tor_vasprintf() implementation on systems + that define neither vasprintf() nor _vscprintf(). (This bug has + been here long enough that we question whether people are running + Tor on such systems, but we're applying the fix out of caution.) + Fixes bug 30561; bugfix on 0.2.8.2-alpha. Found and fixed by + Tobias Stoeckmann. + + o Minor bugfixes (relay, backport from 0.4.2.2-alpha): + - Avoid crashing when starting with a corrupt keys directory where + the old ntor key and the new ntor key are identical. Fixes bug + 30916; bugfix on 0.2.4.8-alpha. + + o Minor bugfixes (rust, backport from 0.4.0.5): + - Abort on panic in all build profiles, instead of potentially + unwinding into C code. Fixes bug 27199; bugfix on 0.3.3.1-alpha. + + o Minor bugfixes (rust, backport from 0.4.2.1-alpha): + - Correctly exclude a redundant rust build job in Travis. Fixes bug + 31463; bugfix on 0.3.5.4-alpha. + + o Minor bugfixes (single onion services, backport from 0.4.0.3-alpha): + - Allow connections to single onion services to remain idle without + being disconnected. Previously, relays acting as rendezvous points + for single onion services were mistakenly closing idle rendezvous + circuits after 60 seconds, thinking that they were unused + directory-fetching circuits that had served their purpose. Fixes + bug 29665; bugfix on 0.2.1.26. + + o Minor bugfixes (stats, backport from 0.4.0.3-alpha): + - When ExtraInfoStatistics is 0, stop including PaddingStatistics in + relay and bridge extra-info documents. Fixes bug 29017; bugfix + on 0.3.1.1-alpha. + + o Minor bugfixes (testing, backport from 0.4.0.3-alpha): + - Downgrade some LOG_ERR messages in the address/* tests to + warnings. The LOG_ERR messages were occurring when we had no + configured network. We were failing the unit tests, because we + backported 28668 to 0.3.5.8, but did not backport 29530. Fixes bug + 29530; bugfix on 0.3.5.8. + - Fix our gcov wrapper script to look for object files at the + correct locations. Fixes bug 29435; bugfix on 0.3.5.1-alpha. + + o Minor bugfixes (testing, backport from 0.4.0.4-rc): + - Backport the 0.3.4 src/test/test-network.sh to 0.2.9. We need a + recent test-network.sh to use new chutney features in CI. Fixes + bug 29703; bugfix on 0.2.9.1-alpha. + - Fix a test failure on Windows caused by an unexpected "BUG" + warning in our tests for tor_gmtime_r(-1). Fixes bug 29922; bugfix + on 0.2.9.3-alpha. + + o Minor bugfixes (testing, backport from 0.4.2.3-alpha): + - When testing port rebinding, don't busy-wait for tor to log. + Instead, actually sleep for a short time before polling again. + Also improve the formatting of control commands and log messages. + Fixes bug 31837; bugfix on 0.3.5.1-alpha. + + o Minor bugfixes (TLS protocol, backport form 0.4.0.4-rc): + - When classifying a client's selection of TLS ciphers, if the + client ciphers are not yet available, do not cache the result. + Previously, we had cached the unavailability of the cipher list + and never looked again, which in turn led us to assume that the + client only supported the ancient V1 link protocol. This, in turn, + was causing Stem integration tests to stall in some cases. Fixes + bug 30021; bugfix on 0.2.4.8-alpha. + + o Minor bugfixes (tls, logging, backport from 0.4.2.3-alpha): + - Log bugs about the TLS read buffer's length only once, rather than + filling the logs with similar warnings. Fixes bug 31939; bugfix + on 0.3.0.4-rc. + + o Minor bugfixes (v2 single onion services, backport from 0.4.2.1-alpha): + - Always retry v2 single onion service intro and rend circuits with + a 3-hop path. Previously, v2 single onion services used a 3-hop + path when rendezvous circuits were retried after a remote or + delayed failure, but a 1-hop path for immediate retries. Fixes bug + 23818; bugfix on 0.2.9.3-alpha. + - Make v3 single onion services fall back to a 3-hop intro, when all + intro points are unreachable via a 1-hop path. Previously, v3 + single onion services failed when all intro nodes were unreachable + via a 1-hop path. Fixes bug 23507; bugfix on 0.3.2.1-alpha. + + o Minor bugfixes (Windows, CI, backport from 0.4.0.3-alpha): + - Skip the Appveyor 32-bit Windows Server 2016 job, and 64-bit + Windows Server 2012 R2 job. The remaining 2 jobs still provide + coverage of 64/32-bit, and Windows Server 2016/2012 R2. Also set + fast_finish, so failed jobs terminate the build immediately. Fixes + bug 29601; bugfix on 0.3.5.4-alpha. + + o Documentation (backport from 0.4.2.1-alpha): + - Use RFC 2397 data URL scheme to embed an image into tor-exit- + notice.html so that operators no longer have to host it + themselves. Closes ticket 31089. + + o Testing (backport from 0.4.1.2-alpha): + - Specify torrc paths (with empty files) when launching tor in + integration tests; refrain from reading user and system torrcs. + Resolves issue 29702. + + o Testing (continuous integration, backport from 0.4.1.1-alpha): + - In Travis, show stem's tor log after failure. Closes ticket 30234. + + o Testing (continuous integration, backport from 0.4.1.5): + - In Travis, make stem log a controller trace to the console, and + tail stem's tor log after failure. Closes ticket 30591. + - In Travis, only run the stem tests that use a tor binary. Closes + ticket 30694. + + o Testing (continuous integration, backport from 0.4.2.3-alpha): + - Disable all but one Travis CI macOS build, to mitigate slow + scheduling of Travis macOS jobs. Closes ticket 32177. + - Run the chutney IPv6 networks as part of Travis CI. Closes + ticket 30860. + - Simplify the Travis CI build matrix, and optimise for build time. + Closes ticket 31859. + - Use Windows Server 2019 instead of Windows Server 2016 in our + Appveyor builds. Closes ticket 32086. + + o Testing (continuous integration, backport from 0.4.2.4-rc): + - Use Ubuntu Bionic images for our Travis CI builds, so we can get a + recent version of coccinelle. But leave chutney on Ubuntu Trusty, + until we can fix some Bionic permissions issues (see ticket + 32240). Related to ticket 31919. + - Install the mingw OpenSSL package in Appveyor. This makes sure + that the OpenSSL headers and libraries match in Tor's Appveyor + builds. (This bug was triggered by an Appveyor image update.) + Fixes bug 32449; bugfix on 0.3.5.6-rc. + - In Travis, use Xcode 11.2 on macOS 10.14. Closes ticket 32241. + + o Testing (continuous integration, backport from 0.4.2.5): + - Require C99 standards-conforming code in Travis CI, but allow GNU gcc + extensions. Also activates clang's -Wtypedef-redefinition warnings. + Build some jobs with -std=gnu99, and some jobs without. + Closes ticket 32500. + + +Changes in version 0.3.5.8 - 2019-02-21 + Tor 0.3.5.8 backports serveral fixes from later releases, including fixes + for an annoying SOCKS-parsing bug that affected users in earlier 0.3.5.x + releases. + + It also includes a fix for a medium-severity security bug affecting Tor + 0.3.2.1-alpha and later. All Tor instances running an affected release + should upgrade to 0.3.3.12, 0.3.4.11, 0.3.5.8, or 0.4.0.2-alpha. + + o Major bugfixes (cell scheduler, KIST, security): + - Make KIST consider the outbuf length when computing what it can + put in the outbuf. Previously, KIST acted as though the outbuf + were empty, which could lead to the outbuf becoming too full. It + is possible that an attacker could exploit this bug to cause a Tor + client or relay to run out of memory and crash. Fixes bug 29168; + bugfix on 0.3.2.1-alpha. This issue is also being tracked as + TROVE-2019-001 and CVE-2019-8955. + + o Major bugfixes (networking, backport from 0.4.0.2-alpha): + - Gracefully handle empty username/password fields in SOCKS5 + username/password auth messsage and allow SOCKS5 handshake to + continue. Previously, we had rejected these handshakes, breaking + certain applications. Fixes bug 29175; bugfix on 0.3.5.1-alpha. + + o Minor features (compilation, backport from 0.4.0.2-alpha): + - Compile correctly when OpenSSL is built with engine support + disabled, or with deprecated APIs disabled. Closes ticket 29026. + Patches from "Mangix". + + o Minor features (geoip): + - Update geoip and geoip6 to the February 5 2019 Maxmind GeoLite2 + Country database. Closes ticket 29478. + + o Minor features (testing, backport from 0.4.0.2-alpha): + - Treat all unexpected ERR and BUG messages as test failures. Closes + ticket 28668. + + o Minor bugfixes (onion service v3, client, backport from 0.4.0.1-alpha): + - Stop logging a "BUG()" warning and stacktrace when we find a SOCKS + connection waiting for a descriptor that we actually have in the + cache. It turns out that this can actually happen, though it is + rare. Now, tor will recover and retry the descriptor. Fixes bug + 28669; bugfix on 0.3.2.4-alpha. + + o Minor bugfixes (IPv6, backport from 0.4.0.1-alpha): + - Fix tor_ersatz_socketpair on IPv6-only systems. Previously, the + IPv6 socket was bound using an address family of AF_INET instead + of AF_INET6. Fixes bug 28995; bugfix on 0.3.5.1-alpha. Patch from + Kris Katterjohn. + + o Minor bugfixes (build, compatibility, rust, backport from 0.4.0.2-alpha): + - Update Cargo.lock file to match the version made by the latest + version of Rust, so that "make distcheck" will pass again. Fixes + bug 29244; bugfix on 0.3.3.4-alpha. + + o Minor bugfixes (client, clock skew, backport from 0.4.0.1-alpha): + - Select guards even if the consensus has expired, as long as the + consensus is still reasonably live. Fixes bug 24661; bugfix + on 0.3.0.1-alpha. + + o Minor bugfixes (compilation, backport from 0.4.0.1-alpha): + - Compile correctly on OpenBSD; previously, we were missing some + headers required in order to detect it properly. Fixes bug 28938; + bugfix on 0.3.5.1-alpha. Patch from Kris Katterjohn. + + o Minor bugfixes (documentation, backport from 0.4.0.2-alpha): + - Describe the contents of the v3 onion service client authorization + files correctly: They hold public keys, not private keys. Fixes + bug 28979; bugfix on 0.3.5.1-alpha. Spotted by "Felixix". + + o Minor bugfixes (logging, backport from 0.4.0.1-alpha): + - Rework rep_hist_log_link_protocol_counts() to iterate through all + link protocol versions when logging incoming/outgoing connection + counts. Tor no longer skips version 5, and we won't have to + remember to update this function when new link protocol version is + developed. Fixes bug 28920; bugfix on 0.2.6.10. + + o Minor bugfixes (logging, backport from 0.4.0.2-alpha): + - Log more information at "warning" level when unable to read a + private key; log more information at "info" level when unable to + read a public key. We had warnings here before, but they were lost + during our NSS work. Fixes bug 29042; bugfix on 0.3.5.1-alpha. + + o Minor bugfixes (misc, backport from 0.4.0.2-alpha): + - The amount of total available physical memory is now determined + using the sysctl identifier HW_PHYSMEM (rather than HW_USERMEM) + when it is defined and a 64-bit variant is not available. Fixes + bug 28981; bugfix on 0.2.5.4-alpha. Patch from Kris Katterjohn. + + o Minor bugfixes (onion services, backport from 0.4.0.2-alpha): + - Avoid crashing if ClientOnionAuthDir (incorrectly) contains more + than one private key for a hidden service. Fixes bug 29040; bugfix + on 0.3.5.1-alpha. + - In hs_cache_store_as_client() log an HSDesc we failed to parse at + "debug" level. Tor used to log it as a warning, which caused very + long log lines to appear for some users. Fixes bug 29135; bugfix + on 0.3.2.1-alpha. + - Stop logging "Tried to establish rendezvous on non-OR circuit..." + as a warning. Instead, log it as a protocol warning, because there + is nothing that relay operators can do to fix it. Fixes bug 29029; + bugfix on 0.2.5.7-rc. + + o Minor bugfixes (tests, directory clients, backport from 0.4.0.1-alpha): + - Mark outdated dirservers when Tor only has a reasonably live + consensus. Fixes bug 28569; bugfix on 0.3.2.5-alpha. + + o Minor bugfixes (tests, backport from 0.4.0.2-alpha): + - Detect and suppress "bug" warnings from the util/time test on + Windows. Fixes bug 29161; bugfix on 0.2.9.3-alpha. + - Do not log an error-level message if we fail to find an IPv6 + network interface from the unit tests. Fixes bug 29160; bugfix + on 0.2.7.3-rc. + + o Minor bugfixes (usability, backport from 0.4.0.1-alpha): + - Stop saying "Your Guard ..." in pathbias_measure_{use,close}_rate(). + Some users took this phrasing to mean that the mentioned guard was + under their control or responsibility, which it is not. Fixes bug + 28895; bugfix on Tor 0.3.0.1-alpha. + + +Changes in version 0.3.5.7 - 2019-01-07 + Tor 0.3.5.7 is the first stable release in its series; it includes + compilation and portability fixes, and a fix for a severe problem + affecting directory caches. + + The Tor 0.3.5 series includes several new features and performance + improvements, including client authorization for v3 onion services, + cleanups to bootstrap reporting, support for improved bandwidth- + measurement tools, experimental support for NSS in place of OpenSSL, + and much more. It also begins a full reorganization of Tor's code + layout, for improved modularity and maintainability in the future. + Finally, there is the usual set of performance improvements and + bugfixes that we try to do in every release series. + + There are a couple of changes in the 0.3.5 that may affect + compatibility. First, the default version for newly created onion + services is now v3. Use the HiddenServiceVersion option if you want to + override this. Second, some log messages related to bootstrapping have + changed; if you use stem, you may need to update to the latest version + so it will recognize them. + + We have designated 0.3.5 as a "long-term support" (LTS) series: we + will continue to patch major bugs in typical configurations of 0.3.5 + until at least 1 Feb 2022. (We do not plan to provide long-term + support for embedding, Rust support, NSS support, running a directory + authority, or unsupported platforms. For these, you will need to stick + with the latest stable release.) + + Below are the changes since 0.3.4.9. For a complete list of changes + since 0.3.5.6-rc, see the ChangeLog file. + + o Major features (bootstrap): + - Don't report directory progress until after a connection to a + relay or bridge has succeeded. Previously, we'd report 80% + progress based on cached directory information when we couldn't + even connect to the network. Closes ticket 27169. + + o Major features (new code layout): + - Nearly all of Tor's source code has been moved around into more + logical places. The "common" directory is now divided into a set + of libraries in "lib", and files in the "or" directory have been + split into "core" (logic absolutely needed for onion routing), + "feature" (independent modules in Tor), and "app" (to configure + and invoke the rest of Tor). See doc/HACKING/CodeStructure.md for + more information. Closes ticket 26481. + + This refactoring is not complete: although the libraries have been + refactored to be acyclic, the main body of Tor is still too + interconnected. We will attempt to improve this in the future. + + o Major features (onion services v3): + - Implement onion service client authorization at the descriptor + level: only authorized clients can decrypt a service's descriptor + to find out how to contact it. A new torrc option was added to + control this client side: ClientOnionAuthDir <path>. On the + service side, if the "authorized_clients/" directory exists in the + onion service directory path, client configurations are read from + the files within. See the manpage for more details. Closes ticket + 27547. Patch done by Suphanat Chunhapanya (haxxpop). + - Improve revision counter generation in next-gen onion services. + Onion services can now scale by hosting multiple instances on + different hosts without synchronization between them, which was + previously impossible because descriptors would get rejected by + HSDirs. Addresses ticket 25552. + - Version 3 onion services can now use the per-service + HiddenServiceExportCircuitID option to differentiate client + circuits. It communicates with the service by using the HAProxy + protocol to assign virtual IP addresses to inbound client + circuits. Closes ticket 4700. Patch by Mahrud Sayrafi. + + o Major features (onion services, UI change): + - For a newly created onion service, the default version is now 3. + Tor still supports existing version 2 services, but the operator + now needs to set "HiddenServiceVersion 2" in order to create a new + version 2 service. For existing services, Tor now learns the + version by reading the key file. Closes ticket 27215. + + o Major features (portability, cryptography, experimental, TLS): + - Tor now has the option to compile with the NSS library instead of + OpenSSL. This feature is experimental, and we expect that bugs may + remain. It is mainly intended for environments where Tor's + performance is not CPU-bound, and where NSS is already known to be + installed. To try it out, configure Tor with the --enable-nss + flag. Closes tickets 26631, 26815, and 26816. + + If you are experimenting with this option and using an old cached + consensus, Tor may fail to start. To solve this, delete your + "cached-consensus" and "cached-microdesc-consensus" files, + (if present), and restart Tor. + + o Major features (relay, UI change): + - Relays no longer run as exits by default. If the "ExitRelay" + option is auto (or unset), and no exit policy is specified with + ExitPolicy or ReducedExitPolicy, we now treat ExitRelay as 0. + Previously in this case, we allowed exit traffic and logged a + warning message. Closes ticket 21530. Patch by Neel Chauhan. + - Tor now validates that the ContactInfo config option is valid UTF- + 8 when parsing torrc. Closes ticket 27428. + + o Major bugfixes (compilation): + - Fix compilation on ARM (and other less-used CPUs) when compiling + with OpenSSL before 1.1. Fixes bug 27781; bugfix on 0.3.4.1-alpha. + + o Major bugfixes (compilation, rust): + - Rust tests can now build and run successfully with the + --enable-fragile-hardening option enabled. Doing this currently + requires the rust beta channel; it will be possible with stable + rust once Rust version 1.31 is released. Patch from Alex Crichton. + Fixes bugs 27272, 27273, and 27274. Bugfix on 0.3.1.1-alpha. + + o Major bugfixes (directory authority): + - Actually check that the address we get from DirAuthority + configuration line is valid IPv4. Explicitly disallow DirAuthority + address to be a DNS hostname. Fixes bug 26488; bugfix + on 0.1.2.10-rc. + + o Major bugfixes (embedding, main loop): + - When DisableNetwork becomes set, actually disable periodic events + that are already enabled. (Previously, we would refrain from + enabling new ones, but we would leave the old ones turned on.) + Fixes bug 28348; bugfix on 0.3.4.1-alpha. + + o Major bugfixes (main loop, bootstrap): + - Make sure Tor bootstraps and works properly if only the + ControlPort is set. Prior to this fix, Tor would only bootstrap + when a client port was set (Socks, Trans, NATD, DNS or HTTPTunnel + port). Fixes bug 27849; bugfix on 0.3.4.1-alpha. + + o Major bugfixes (onion service v3): + - On an intro point for a version 3 onion service, stop closing + introduction circuits on a NACK. This lets the client decide + whether to reuse the circuit or discard it. Previously, we closed + intro circuits when sending NACKs. Fixes bug 27841; bugfix on + 0.3.2.1-alpha. Patch by Neel Chaunan. + + o Major bugfixes (OpenSSL, portability): + - Fix our usage of named groups when running as a TLS 1.3 client in + OpenSSL 1.1.1. Previously, we only initialized EC groups when + running as a relay, which caused clients to fail to negotiate TLS + 1.3 with relays. Fixes bug 28245; bugfix on 0.2.9.15 (when TLS 1.3 + support was added). + + o Major bugfixes (relay bandwidth statistics): + - When we close relayed circuits, report the data in the circuit + queues as being written in our relay bandwidth stats. This + mitigates guard discovery and other attacks that close circuits + for the explicit purpose of noticing this discrepancy in + statistics. Fixes bug 23512; bugfix on 0.0.8pre3. + + o Major bugfixes (relay): + - When our write bandwidth limit is exhausted, stop writing on the + connection. Previously, we had a typo in the code that would make + us stop reading instead, leading to relay connections being stuck + indefinitely and consuming kernel RAM. Fixes bug 28089; bugfix + on 0.3.4.1-alpha. + - Always reactivate linked connections in the main loop so long as + any linked connection has been active. Previously, connections + serving directory information wouldn't get reactivated after the + first chunk of data was sent (usually 32KB), which would prevent + clients from bootstrapping. Fixes bug 28912; bugfix on + 0.3.4.1-alpha. Patch by "cypherpunks3". + + o Major bugfixes (restart-in-process): + - Fix a use-after-free error that could be caused by passing Tor an + impossible set of options that would fail during options_act(). + Fixes bug 27708; bugfix on 0.3.3.1-alpha. + + o Minor features (admin tools): + - Add a new --key-expiration option to print the expiration date of + the signing cert in an ed25519_signing_cert file. Resolves + issue 19506. + + o Minor features (build): + - If you pass the "--enable-pic" option to configure, Tor will try + to tell the compiler to build position-independent code suitable + to link into a dynamic library. (The default remains -fPIE, for + code suitable for a relocatable executable.) Closes ticket 23846. + + o Minor features (code correctness, testing): + - Tor's build process now includes a "check-includes" make target to + verify that no module of Tor relies on any headers from a higher- + level module. We hope to use this feature over time to help + refactor our codebase. Closes ticket 26447. + + o Minor features (code layout): + - We have a new "lowest-level" error-handling API for use by code + invoked from within the logging module. With this interface, the + logging code is no longer at risk of calling into itself if a + failure occurs while it is trying to log something. Closes + ticket 26427. + + o Minor features (compilation): + - When possible, place our warning flags in a separate file, to + avoid flooding verbose build logs. Closes ticket 28924. + - Tor's configure script now supports a --with-malloc= option to + select your malloc implementation. Supported options are + "tcmalloc", "jemalloc", "openbsd" (deprecated), and "system" (the + default). Addresses part of ticket 20424. Based on a patch from + Alex Xu. + + o Minor features (config): + - The "auto" keyword in torrc is now case-insensitive. Closes + ticket 26663. + + o Minor features (continuous integration): + - Add a Travis CI build for --enable-nss on Linux gcc. Closes + ticket 27751. + - Add new CI job to Travis configuration to run stem-based + integration tests. Closes ticket 27913. + - Use the Travis Homebrew addon to install packages on macOS during + Travis CI. The package list is the same, but the Homebrew addon + does not do a `brew update` by default. Implements ticket 27738. + - Report what program produced the mysterious core file that we + occasionally see on Travis CI during make distcheck. Closes + ticket 28024. + - Don't do a distcheck with --disable-module-dirauth in Travis. + Implements ticket 27252. + - Install libcap-dev and libseccomp2-dev so these optional + dependencies get tested on Travis CI. Closes ticket 26560. + - Only run one online rust build in Travis, to reduce network + errors. Skip offline rust builds on Travis for Linux gcc, because + they're redundant. Implements ticket 27252. + - Skip gcc on OSX in Travis CI, because it's rarely used. Skip a + duplicate hardening-off build in Travis on Tor 0.2.9. Skip gcc on + Linux with default settings, because all the non-default builds + use gcc on Linux. Implements ticket 27252. + + o Minor features (continuous integration, Windows): + - Always show the configure and test logs, and upload them as build + artifacts, when building for Windows using Appveyor CI. + Implements 28459. + - Build tor on Windows Server 2012 R2 and Windows Server 2016 using + Appveyor's CI. Closes ticket 28318. + + o Minor features (controller): + - Emit CIRC_BW events as soon as we detect that we processed an + invalid or otherwise dropped cell on a circuit. This allows + vanguards and other controllers to react more quickly to dropped + cells. Closes ticket 27678. + - For purposes of CIRC_BW-based dropped cell detection, track half- + closed stream ids, and allow their ENDs, SENDMEs, DATA and path + bias check cells to arrive without counting it as dropped until + either the END arrives, or the windows are empty. Closes + ticket 25573. + - Implement a 'GETINFO md/all' controller command to enable getting + all known microdescriptors. Closes ticket 8323. + - The GETINFO command now support an "uptime" argument, to return + Tor's uptime in seconds. Closes ticket 25132. + + o Minor features (denial-of-service avoidance): + - Make our OOM handler aware of the DNS cache so that it doesn't + fill up the memory. This check is important for our DoS mitigation + subsystem. Closes ticket 18642. Patch by Neel Chauhan. + + o Minor features (development): + - Tor's makefile now supports running the "clippy" Rust style tool + on our Rust code. Closes ticket 22156. + + o Minor features (directory authority): + - There is no longer an artificial upper limit on the length of + bandwidth lines. Closes ticket 26223. + - When a bandwidth file is used to obtain the bandwidth measurements, + include this bandwidth file headers in the votes. Closes + ticket 3723. + - Improved support for networks with only a single authority or a + single fallback directory. Patch from Gabriel Somlo. Closes + ticket 25928. + + o Minor features (embedding API): + - The Tor controller API now supports a function to launch Tor with + a preconstructed owning controller FD, so that embedding + applications don't need to manage controller ports and + authentication. Closes ticket 24204. + - The Tor controller API now has a function that returns the name + and version of the backend implementing the API. Closes + ticket 26947. + + o Minor features (fallback directory list): + - Replace the 150 fallbacks originally introduced in Tor + 0.3.3.1-alpha in January 2018 (of which ~115 were still + functional), with a list of 157 fallbacks (92 new, 65 existing, 85 + removed) generated in December 2018. Closes ticket 24803. + + o Minor features (geoip): + - Update geoip and geoip6 to the January 3 2019 Maxmind GeoLite2 + Country database. Closes ticket 29012. + + o Minor features (memory management): + - Get Libevent to use the same memory allocator as Tor, by calling + event_set_mem_functions() during initialization. Resolves + ticket 8415. + + o Minor features (memory usage): + - When not using them, store legacy TAP public onion keys in DER- + encoded format, rather than as expanded public keys. This should + save several megabytes on typical clients. Closes ticket 27246. + + o Minor features (OpenSSL bug workaround): + - Work around a bug in OpenSSL 1.1.1a, which prevented the TLS 1.3 + key export function from handling long labels. When this bug is + detected, Tor will disable TLS 1.3. We recommend upgrading to a + version of OpenSSL without this bug when it becomes available. + Closes ticket 28973. + + o Minor features (OpenSSL): + - When possible, use RFC5869 HKDF implementation from OpenSSL rather + than our own. Resolves ticket 19979. + + o Minor features (performance): + - Remove about 96% of the work from the function that we run at + startup to test our curve25519_basepoint implementation. Since + this function has yet to find an actual failure, we now only run + it for 8 iterations instead of 200. Based on our profile + information, this change should save around 8% of our startup time + on typical desktops, and may have a similar effect on other + platforms. Closes ticket 28838. + - Stop re-validating our hardcoded Diffie-Hellman parameters on + every startup. Doing this wasted time and cycles, especially on + low-powered devices. Closes ticket 28851. + + o Minor features (Rust, code quality): + - Improve rust code quality in the rust protover implementation by + making it more idiomatic. Includes changing an internal API to + take &str instead of &String. Closes ticket 26492. + + o Minor features (testing): + - Add scripts/test/chutney-git-bisect.sh, for bisecting using + chutney. Implements ticket 27211. + + o Minor features (tor-resolve): + - The tor-resolve utility can now be used with IPv6 SOCKS proxies. + Side-effect of the refactoring for ticket 26526. + + o Minor features (UI): + - Log each included configuration file or directory as we read it, + to provide more visibility about where Tor is reading from. Patch + from Unto Sten; closes ticket 27186. + - Lower log level of "Scheduler type KIST has been enabled" to INFO. + Closes ticket 26703. + + o Minor bugfixes (32-bit OSX and iOS, timing): + - Fix an integer overflow bug in our optimized 32-bit millisecond- + difference algorithm for 32-bit Apple platforms. Previously, it + would overflow when calculating the difference between two times + more than 47 days apart. Fixes part of bug 27139; bugfix + on 0.3.4.1-alpha. + - Improve the precision of our 32-bit millisecond difference + algorithm for 32-bit Apple platforms. Fixes part of bug 27139; + bugfix on 0.3.4.1-alpha. + - Relax the tolerance on the mainloop/update_time_jumps test when + running on 32-bit Apple platforms. Fixes part of bug 27139; bugfix + on 0.3.4.1-alpha. + + o Minor bugfixes (bootstrap): + - Try harder to get descriptors in non-exit test networks, by using + the mid weight for the third hop when there are no exits. Fixes + bug 27237; bugfix on 0.2.6.2-alpha. + + o Minor bugfixes (C correctness): + - Avoid casting smartlist index to int implicitly, as it may trigger + a warning (-Wshorten-64-to-32). Fixes bug 26282; bugfix on + 0.2.3.13-alpha, 0.2.7.1-alpha and 0.2.1.1-alpha. + - Use time_t for all values in + predicted_ports_prediction_time_remaining(). Rework the code that + computes difference between durations/timestamps. Fixes bug 27165; + bugfix on 0.3.1.1-alpha. + + o Minor bugfixes (client, memory usage): + - When not running as a directory cache, there is no need to store + the text of the current consensus networkstatus in RAM. + Previously, however, clients would store it anyway, at a cost of + over 5 MB. Now, they do not. Fixes bug 27247; bugfix + on 0.3.0.1-alpha. + + o Minor bugfixes (client, ReachableAddresses): + - Instead of adding a "reject *:*" line to ReachableAddresses when + loading the configuration, add one to the policy after parsing it + in parse_reachable_addresses(). This prevents extra "reject *.*" + lines from accumulating on reloads. Fixes bug 20874; bugfix on + 0.1.1.5-alpha. Patch by Neel Chauhan. + + o Minor bugfixes (code quality): + - Rename sandbox_getaddrinfo() and other functions to no longer + misleadingly suggest that they are sandbox-only. Fixes bug 26525; + bugfix on 0.2.7.1-alpha. + + o Minor bugfixes (code safety): + - Rewrite our assertion macros so that they no longer suppress the + compiler's -Wparentheses warnings. Fixes bug 27709; bugfix + on 0.0.6. + + o Minor bugfixes (compilation): + - Initialize a variable unconditionally in aes_new_cipher(), since + some compilers cannot tell that we always initialize it before + use. Fixes bug 28413; bugfix on 0.2.9.3-alpha. + + o Minor bugfixes (configuration): + - Refuse to start with relative file paths and RunAsDaemon set + (regression from the fix for bug 22731). Fixes bug 28298; bugfix + on 0.3.3.1-alpha. + + o Minor bugfixes (configuration, Onion Services): + - In rend_service_parse_port_config(), disallow any input to remain + after address-port pair was parsed. This will catch address and + port being whitespace-separated by mistake of the user. Fixes bug + 27044; bugfix on 0.2.9.10. + + o Minor bugfixes (connection, relay): + - Avoid a logging a BUG() stacktrace when closing connection held + open because the write side is rate limited but not the read side. + Now, the connection read side is simply shut down until Tor is + able to flush the connection and close it. Fixes bug 27750; bugfix + on 0.3.4.1-alpha. + + o Minor bugfixes (continuous integration, Windows): + - Stop reinstalling identical packages in our Windows CI. Fixes bug + 27464; bugfix on 0.3.4.1-alpha. + - Install only the necessary mingw packages during our appveyor + builds. This change makes the build a little faster, and prevents + a conflict with a preinstalled mingw openssl that appveyor now + ships. Fixes bugs 27765 and 27943; bugfix on 0.3.4.2-alpha. + - Explicitly specify the path to the OpenSSL library and do not + download OpenSSL from Pacman, but instead use the library that is + already provided by AppVeyor. Fixes bug 28574; bugfix on master. + - Manually configure the zstd compiler options, when building using + mingw on Appveyor Windows CI. The MSYS2 mingw zstd package does + not come with a pkg-config file. Fixes bug 28454; bugfix + on 0.3.4.1-alpha. + - Stop using an external OpenSSL install, and stop installing MSYS2 + packages, when building using mingw on Appveyor Windows CI. Fixes + bug 28399; bugfix on 0.3.4.1-alpha. + + o Minor bugfixes (controller): + - Consider all routerinfo errors other than "not a server" to be + transient for the purpose of "GETINFO exit-policy/*" controller + request. Print stacktrace in the unlikely case of failing to + recompute routerinfo digest. Fixes bug 27034; bugfix + on 0.3.4.1-alpha. + + o Minor bugfixes (correctness): + - Fix an unreached code path where we checked the value of + "hostname" inside send_resolved_hostname_cell(). Previously, we + used it before checking it; now we check it first. Fixes bug + 28879; bugfix on 0.1.2.7-alpha. + + o Minor bugfixes (directory connection shutdown): + - Avoid a double-close when shutting down a stalled directory + connection. Fixes bug 26896; bugfix on 0.3.4.1-alpha. + + o Minor bugfixes (directory permissions): + - When a user requests a group-readable DataDirectory, give it to + them. Previously, when the DataDirectory and the CacheDirectory + were the same, the default setting (0) for + CacheDirectoryGroupReadable would override the setting for + DataDirectoryGroupReadable. Fixes bug 26913; bugfix + on 0.3.3.1-alpha. + + o Minor bugfixes (HTTP tunnel): + - Fix a bug warning when closing an HTTP tunnel connection due to an + HTTP request we couldn't handle. Fixes bug 26470; bugfix + on 0.3.2.1-alpha. + + o Minor bugfixes (ipv6): + - In addrs_in_same_network_family(), we choose the subnet size based + on the IP version (IPv4 or IPv6). Previously, we chose a fixed + subnet size of /16 for both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses. Fixes bug + 15518; bugfix on 0.2.3.1-alpha. Patch by Neel Chauhan. + + o Minor bugfixes (Linux seccomp2 sandbox): + - Permit the "shutdown()" system call, which is apparently used by + OpenSSL under some circumstances. Fixes bug 28183; bugfix + on 0.2.5.1-alpha. + + o Minor bugfixes (logging): + - Stop talking about the Named flag in log messages. Clients have + ignored the Named flag since 0.3.2. Fixes bug 28441; bugfix + on 0.3.2.1-alpha. + - As a precaution, do an early return from log_addr_has_changed() if + Tor is running as client. Also, log a stack trace for debugging as + this function should only be called when Tor runs as server. Fixes + bug 26892; bugfix on 0.1.1.9-alpha. + - Refrain from mentioning bug 21018 in the logs, as it is already + fixed. Fixes bug 25477; bugfix on 0.2.9.8. + + o Minor bugfixes (logging, documentation): + - When SafeLogging is enabled, scrub IP address in + channel_tls_process_netinfo_cell(). Also, add a note to manpage + that scrubbing is not guaranteed on loglevels below Notice. Fixes + bug 26882; bugfix on 0.2.4.10-alpha. + + o Minor bugfixes (memory leaks): + - Fix a harmless memory leak in libtorrunner.a. Fixes bug 28419; + bugfix on 0.3.3.1-alpha. Patch from Martin Kepplinger. + - Fix a small memory leak when calling Tor with --dump-config. Fixes + bug 27893; bugfix on 0.3.2.1-alpha. + + o Minor bugfixes (netflow padding): + - Ensure circuitmux queues are empty before scheduling or sending + padding. Fixes bug 25505; bugfix on 0.3.1.1-alpha. + + o Minor bugfixes (onion service v2): + - Log at level "info", not "warning", in the case that we do not + have a consensus when a .onion request comes in. This can happen + normally while bootstrapping. Fixes bug 27040; bugfix + on 0.2.8.2-alpha. + + o Minor bugfixes (onion service v3): + - When deleting an ephemeral onion service (DEL_ONION), do not close + any rendezvous circuits in order to let the existing client + connections finish by themselves or closed by the application. The + HS v2 is doing that already so now we have the same behavior for + all versions. Fixes bug 28619; bugfix on 0.3.3.1-alpha. + - Build the service descriptor's signing key certificate before + uploading, so we always have a fresh one: leaving no chances for + it to expire service side. Fixes bug 27838; bugfix + on 0.3.2.1-alpha. + - Stop dumping a stack trace when trying to connect to an intro + point without having a descriptor for it. Fixes bug 27774; bugfix + on 0.3.2.1-alpha. + - When selecting a v3 rendezvous point, don't only look at the + protover, but also check whether the curve25519 onion key is + present. This way we avoid picking a relay that supports the v3 + rendezvous but for which we don't have the microdescriptor. Fixes + bug 27797; bugfix on 0.3.2.1-alpha. + - Close all SOCKS request (for the same .onion) if the newly fetched + descriptor is unusable. Before that, we would close only the first + one leaving the other hanging and let to time out by themselves. + Fixes bug 27410; bugfix on 0.3.2.1-alpha. + - When the onion service directory can't be created or has the wrong + permissions, do not log a stack trace. Fixes bug 27335; bugfix + on 0.3.2.1-alpha. + - When replacing a descriptor in the client cache, make sure to + close all client introduction circuits for the old descriptor, so + we don't end up with unusable leftover circuits. Fixes bug 27471; + bugfix on 0.3.2.1-alpha. + + o Minor bugfixes (OS compatibility): + - Properly handle configuration changes that move a listener to/from + wildcard IP address. If the first attempt to bind a socket fails, + close the old listener and try binding the socket again. Fixes bug + 17873; bugfix on 0.0.8pre-1. + + o Minor bugfixes (performance):: + - Rework node_is_a_configured_bridge() to no longer call + node_get_all_orports(), which was performing too many memory + allocations. Fixes bug 27224; bugfix on 0.2.3.9. + + o Minor bugfixes (protover): + - Reject protocol names containing bytes other than alphanumeric + characters and hyphens ([A-Za-z0-9-]). Fixes bug 27316; bugfix + on 0.2.9.4-alpha. + + o Minor bugfixes (protover, rust): + - Reject extra commas in version strings. Fixes bug 27197; bugfix + on 0.3.3.3-alpha. + - protover_all_supported() would attempt to allocate up to 16GB on + some inputs, leading to a potential memory DoS. Fixes bug 27206; + bugfix on 0.3.3.5-rc. + - Compute protover votes correctly in the rust version of the + protover code. Previously, the protover rewrite in 24031 allowed + repeated votes from the same voter for the same protocol version + to be counted multiple times in protover_compute_vote(). Fixes bug + 27649; bugfix on 0.3.3.5-rc. + - Reject protover names that contain invalid characters. Fixes bug + 27687; bugfix on 0.3.3.1-alpha. + + o Minor bugfixes (relay shutdown, systemd): + - Notify systemd of ShutdownWaitLength so it can be set to longer + than systemd's TimeoutStopSec. In Tor's systemd service file, set + TimeoutSec to 60 seconds to allow Tor some time to shut down. + Fixes bug 28113; bugfix on 0.2.6.2-alpha. + + o Minor bugfixes (relay statistics): + - Update relay descriptor on bandwidth changes only when the uptime + is smaller than 24h, in order to reduce the efficiency of guard + discovery attacks. Fixes bug 24104; bugfix on 0.1.1.6-alpha. + + o Minor bugfixes (relay): + - Consider the fact that we'll be making direct connections to our + entry and guard nodes when computing the fraction of nodes that + have their descriptors. Also, if we are using bridges and there is + at least one bridge with a full descriptor, treat the fraction of + guards available as 100%. Fixes bug 25886; bugfix on 0.2.4.10-alpha. + Patch by Neel Chauhan. + - Update the message logged on relays when DirCache is disabled. + Since 0.3.3.5-rc, authorities require DirCache (V2Dir) for the + Guard flag. Fixes bug 24312; bugfix on 0.3.3.5-rc. + + o Minor bugfixes (testing): + - Stop running stem's unit tests as part of "make test-stem", but + continue to run stem's unit and online tests during "make test- + stem-full". Fixes bug 28568; bugfix on 0.2.6.3-alpha. + - Stop leaking memory in an entry guard unit test. Fixes bug 28554; + bugfix on 0.3.0.1-alpha. + - Make the hs_service tests use the same time source when creating + the introduction point and when testing it. Now tests work better + on very slow systems like ARM or Travis. Fixes bug 27810; bugfix + on 0.3.2.1-alpha. + - Revise the "conditionvar_timeout" test so that it succeeds even on + heavily loaded systems where the test threads are not scheduled + within 200 msec. Fixes bug 27073; bugfix on 0.2.6.3-alpha. + - Fix two unit tests to work when HOME environment variable is not + set. Fixes bug 27096; bugfix on 0.2.8.1-alpha. + - If a unit test running in a subprocess exits abnormally or with a + nonzero status code, treat the test as having failed, even if the + test reported success. Without this fix, memory leaks don't cause + the tests to fail, even with LeakSanitizer. Fixes bug 27658; + bugfix on 0.2.2.4-alpha. + - When logging a version mismatch in our openssl_version tests, + report the actual offending version strings. Fixes bug 26152; + bugfix on 0.2.9.1-alpha. + - Fix forking tests on Windows when there is a space somewhere in + the path. Fixes bug 26437; bugfix on 0.2.2.4-alpha. + + o Minor bugfixes (Windows): + - Correctly identify Windows 8.1, Windows 10, and Windows Server + 2008 and later from their NT versions. Fixes bug 28096; bugfix on + 0.2.2.34; reported by Keifer Bly. + - On recent Windows versions, the GetVersionEx() function may report + an earlier Windows version than the running OS. To avoid user + confusion, add "[or later]" to Tor's version string on affected + versions of Windows. Fixes bug 28096; bugfix on 0.2.2.34; reported + by Keifer Bly. + - Remove Windows versions that were never supported by the + GetVersionEx() function. Stop duplicating the latest Windows + version in get_uname(). Fixes bug 28096; bugfix on 0.2.2.34; + reported by Keifer Bly. + + o Code simplification and refactoring: + - When parsing a port configuration, make it more obvious to static + analyzer tools that we always initialize the address. Closes + ticket 28881. + - Divide more large Tor source files -- especially ones that span + multiple areas of functionality -- into smaller parts, including + onion.c and main.c. Closes ticket 26747. + - Divide the "routerparse.c" module into separate modules for each + group of parsed objects. Closes ticket 27924. + - Move protover_rust.c to the same place protover.c was moved to. + Closes ticket 27814. + - Split directory.c into separate pieces for client, server, and + common functionality. Closes ticket 26744. + - Split the non-statistics-related parts from the rephist.c and + geoip.c modules. Closes ticket 27892. + - Split the router.c file into relay-only and shared components, to + help with future modularization. Closes ticket 27864. + - Divide the routerlist.c and dirserv.c modules into smaller parts. + Closes ticket 27799. + - 'updateFallbackDirs.py' now ignores the blacklist file, as it's not + longer needed. Closes ticket 26502. + - Include paths to header files within Tor are now qualified by + directory within the top-level src directory. + - Many structures have been removed from the centralized "or.h" + header, and moved into their own headers. This will allow us to + reduce the number of places in the code that rely on each + structure's contents and layout. Closes ticket 26383. + - Remove ATTR_NONNULL macro from codebase. Resolves ticket 26527. + - Remove GetAdaptersAddresses_fn_t. The code that used it was + removed as part of the 26481 refactor. Closes ticket 27467. + - Rework Tor SOCKS server code to use Trunnel and benefit from + autogenerated functions for parsing and generating SOCKS wire + format. New implementation is cleaner, more maintainable and + should be less prone to heartbleed-style vulnerabilities. + Implements a significant fraction of ticket 3569. + - Split sampled_guards_update_from_consensus() and + select_entry_guard_for_circuit() into subfunctions. In + entry_guards_update_primary() unite three smartlist enumerations + into one and move smartlist comparison code out of the function. + Closes ticket 21349. + - Tor now assumes that you have standards-conformant stdint.h and + inttypes.h headers when compiling. Closes ticket 26626. + - Unify our bloom filter logic. Previously we had two copies of this + code: one for routerlist filtering, and one for address set + calculations. Closes ticket 26510. + - Use the simpler strcmpstart() helper in + rend_parse_v2_service_descriptor instead of strncmp(). Closes + ticket 27630. + - Utility functions that can perform a DNS lookup are now wholly + separated from those that can't, in separate headers and C + modules. Closes ticket 26526. + + o Documentation: + - In the tor-resolve(1) manpage, fix the reference to socks- + extensions.txt by adding a web URL. Resolves ticket 27853. + - Mention that we require Python to be 2.7 or newer for some + integration tests that we ship with Tor. Resolves ticket 27677. + - Copy paragraph and URL to Tor's code of conduct document from + CONTRIBUTING to new CODE_OF_CONDUCT file. Resolves ticket 26638. + - Remove old instructions from INSTALL document. Closes ticket 26588. + - Warn users that they should not include MyFamily line(s) in their + torrc when running Tor bridge. Closes ticket 26908. + + o Removed features: + - Tor no longer supports building with the dmalloc library. For + debugging memory issues, we suggest using gperftools or msan + instead. Closes ticket 26426. + - Tor no longer attempts to run on Windows environments without the + GetAdaptersAddresses() function. This function has existed since + Windows XP, which is itself already older than we support. + - Remove Tor2web functionality for version 2 onion services. The + Tor2webMode and Tor2webRendezvousPoints options are now obsolete. + (This feature was never shipped in vanilla Tor and it was only + possible to use this feature by building the support at compile + time. Tor2webMode is not implemented for version 3 onion services.) + Closes ticket 26367. + + o Testing: + - Increase logging and tag all log entries with timestamps in + test_rebind.py. Provides diagnostics for issue 28229. + + o Code simplification and refactoring (shared random, dirauth): + - Change many tor_assert() to use BUG() instead. The idea is to not + crash a dirauth but rather scream loudly with a stacktrace and let + it continue run. The shared random subsystem is very resilient and + if anything wrong happens with it, at worst a non coherent value + will be put in the vote and discarded by the other authorities. + Closes ticket 19566. + + o Documentation (onion services): + - Improve HSv3 client authorization by making some options more + explicit and detailed. Closes ticket 28026. Patch by Mike Tigas. + - Document in the man page that changing ClientOnionAuthDir value or + adding a new file in the directory will not work at runtime upon + sending a HUP if Sandbox 1. Closes ticket 28128. + - Note in the man page that the only real way to fully revoke an + onion service v3 client authorization is by restarting the tor + process. Closes ticket 28275. + + Changes in version 0.3.4.9 - 2018-11-02 Tor 0.3.4.9 is the second stable release in its series; it backports numerous fixes, including a fix for a bandwidth management bug that |
