2016-05-27Disable GET /tor/bytes.txt and GETINFO dir-usageRoger Dingledine
Remove support for "GET /tor/bytes.txt" DirPort request, and "GETINFO dir-usage" controller request, which were only available via a compile-time option in Tor anyway. Feature was added in 0.2.2.1-alpha. Resolves ticket 19035.

2016-05-25Fix a dangling pointer issue in our RSA keygen codeNick Mathewson
If OpenSSL fails to generate an RSA key, do not retain a dangling pointer to the previous (uninitialized) key value. The impact here should be limited to a difficult-to-trigger crash, if OpenSSL is running an engine that makes key generation failures possible, or if OpenSSL runs out of memory. Fixes bug 19152; bugfix on 0.2.1.10-alpha. Found by Yuan Jochen Kang, Suman Jana, and Baishakhi Ray. This is potentially scary stuff, so let me walk through my analysis. I think this is a bug, and a backport candidate, but not remotely triggerable in any useful way. Observation 1a: Looking over the OpenSSL code here, the only way we can really fail in the non-engine case is if malloc() fails. But if malloc() is failing, then tor_malloc() calls should be tor_asserting -- the only way that an attacker could do an exploit here would be to figure out some way to make malloc() fail when openssl does it, but work whenever Tor does it. (Also ordinary malloc() doesn't fail on platforms like Linux that overcommit.) Observation 1b: Although engines are _allowed_ to fail in extra ways, I can't find much evidence online that they actually _do_ fail in practice. More evidence would be nice, though. Observation 2: We don't call crypto_pk_generate*() all that often, and we don't do it in response to external inputs. The only way to get it to happen remotely would be by causing a hidden service to build new introduction points. Observation 3a: So, let's assume that both of the above observations are wrong, and the attacker can make us generate a crypto_pk_env_t with a dangling pointer in its 'key' field, and not immediately crash. This dangling pointer will point to what used to be an RSA structure, with the fields all set to NULL. Actually using this RSA structure, before the memory is reused for anything else, will cause a crash. In nearly every function where we call crypto_pk_generate*(), we quickly use the RSA key pointer -- either to sign something, or to encode the key, or to free the key. The only exception is when we generate an intro key in rend_consider_services_intro_points(). In that case, we don't actually use the key until the intro circuit is opened -- at which point we encode it, and use it to sign an introduction request. So in order to exploit this bug to do anything besides crash Tor, the attacker needs to make sure that by the time the introduction circuit completes, either: * the e, d, and n BNs look valid, and at least one of the other BNs is still NULL. OR * all 8 of the BNs must look valid. To look like a valid BN, *they* all need to have their 'top' index plus their 'd' pointer indicate an addressable region in memory. So actually getting useful data of of this, rather than a crash, is going to be pretty damn hard. You'd have to force an introduction point to be created (or wait for one to be created), and force that particular crypto_pk_generate*() to fail, and then arrange for the memory that the RSA points to to in turn point to 3...8 valid BNs, all by the time the introduction circuit completes. Naturally, the signature won't check as valid [*], so the intro point will reject the ESTABLISH_INTRO cell. So you need to _be_ the introduction point, or you don't actually see this information. [*] Okay, so if you could somehow make the 'rsa' pointer point to a different valid RSA key, then you'd get a valid signature of an ESTABLISH_INTRO cell using a key that was supposed to be used for something else ... but nothing else looks like that, so you can't use that signature elsewhere. Observation 3b: Your best bet as an attacker would be to make the dangling RSA pointer actually contain a fake method, with a fake RSA_private_encrypt function that actually pointed to code you wanted to execute. You'd still need to transit 3 or 4 pointers deep though in order to make that work. Conclusion: By 1, you probably can't trigger this without Tor crashing from OOM. By 2, you probably can't trigger this reliably. By 3, even if I'm wrong about 1 and 2, you have to jump through a pretty big array of hoops in order to get any kind of data leak or code execution. So I'm calling it a bug, but not a security hole. Still worth patching.

2016-05-25Fix a pointer arithmetic bug in memarea_alloc()Nick Mathewson
Fortunately, the arithmetic cannot actually overflow, so long as we *always* check for the size of potentially hostile input before copying it. I think we do, though. We do check each line against MAX_LINE_LENGTH, and each object name or object against MAX_UNPARSED_OBJECT_SIZE, both of which are 128k. So to get this overflow, we need to have our memarea allocated way way too high up in RAM, which most allocators won't actually do. Bugfix on 0.2.1.1-alpha, where memarea was introduced. Found by Guido Vranken.
2016-05-24Make sure that libscrypt_scrypt actually exists before using it.Nick Mathewson
Previously, if the header was present, we'd proceed even if the function wasn't there. Easy fix for bug 19161. A better fix would involve trying harder to find libscrypt_scrypt.

2016-05-18Include __mulodi4 in libor_ctime when it fixes clang -m32 -ftrapvNick Mathewson
We use a pretty specific pair of autoconf tests here to make sure that we only add this code when: a) a 64-bit signed multiply fails to link, AND b) the same 64-bit signed multiply DOES link correctly when __mulodi4 is defined. Closes ticket 19079.

We need to make sure that the corresponding sd and ei match in their certificates.
2016-05-17When making sure digest256 matches in ei, look at sd, not ri.Nick Mathewson
The routerinfo we pass to routerinfo_incompatible_with_extrainfo is the latest routerinfo for the relay. The signed_descriptor_t, on the other hand, is the signed_descriptor_t that corresponds to the extrainfo. That means we should be checking the digest256 match with that signed_descriptor_t, not with the routerinfo. Fixes bug 17150 (and 19017); bugfix on 0.2.7.2-alpha.

2016-05-16dirauth: don't use hardcoded length when parsing digestsDavid Goulet
When parsing detached signature, we make sure that we use the length of the digest algorithm instead of an hardcoded DIGEST256_LEN in order to avoid comparing bytes out of bound with a smaller digest length such as SHA1. Fixes #19066 Signed-off-by: David Goulet <dgoulet@torproject.org>
