tor: update to 0.3.1.9.
Changes in version 0.3.1.9 - 2017-12-01:
Tor 0.3.1.9 backports important security and stability fixes from the
0.3.2 development series. All Tor users should upgrade to this
release, or to another of the releases coming out today.
o Major bugfixes (security, backport from 0.3.2.6-alpha):
- Fix a denial of service bug where an attacker could use a
malformed directory object to cause a Tor instance to pause while
OpenSSL would try to read a passphrase from the terminal. (Tor
instances run without a terminal, which is the case for most Tor
packages, are not impacted.) Fixes bug 24246; bugfix on every
version of Tor. Also tracked as TROVE-2017-011 and CVE-2017-8821.
Found by OSS-Fuzz as testcase 6360145429790720.
- Fix a denial of service issue where an attacker could crash a
directory authority using a malformed router descriptor. Fixes bug
24245; bugfix on 0.2.9.4-alpha. Also tracked as TROVE-2017-010
and CVE-2017-8820.
- When checking for replays in the INTRODUCE1 cell data for a
(legacy) onion service, correctly detect replays in the RSA-
encrypted part of the cell. We were previously checking for
replays on the entire cell, but those can be circumvented due to
the malleability of Tor's legacy hybrid encryption. This fix helps
prevent a traffic confirmation attack. Fixes bug 24244; bugfix on
0.2.4.1-alpha. This issue is also tracked as TROVE-2017-009
and CVE-2017-8819.
o Major bugfixes (security, onion service v2, backport from 0.3.2.6-alpha):
- Fix a use-after-free error that could crash v2 Tor onion services
when they failed to open circuits while expiring introduction
points. Fixes bug 24313; bugfix on 0.2.7.2-alpha. This issue is
also tracked as TROVE-2017-013 and CVE-2017-8823.
o Major bugfixes (security, relay, backport from 0.3.2.6-alpha):
- When running as a relay, make sure that we never build a path
through ourselves, even in the case where we have somehow lost the
version of our descriptor appearing in the consensus. Fixes part
of bug 21534; bugfix on 0.2.0.1-alpha. This issue is also tracked
as TROVE-2017-012 and CVE-2017-8822.
- When running as a relay, make sure that we never choose ourselves
as a guard. Fixes part of bug 21534; bugfix on 0.3.0.1-alpha. This
issue is also tracked as TROVE-2017-012 and CVE-2017-8822.
o Major bugfixes (exit relays, DNS, backport from 0.3.2.4-alpha):
- Fix an issue causing DNS to fail on high-bandwidth exit nodes,
making them nearly unusable. Fixes bugs 21394 and 18580; bugfix on
0.1.2.2-alpha, which introduced eventdns. Thanks to Dhalgren for
identifying and finding a workaround to this bug and to Moritz,
Arthur Edelstein, and Roger for helping to track it down and
analyze it.
o Minor features (bridge):
- Bridges now include notice in their descriptors that they are
bridges, and notice of their distribution status, based on their
publication settings. Implements ticket 18329. For more fine-
grained control of how a bridge is distributed, upgrade to 0.3.2.x
or later.
o Minor features (directory authority, backport from 0.3.2.6-alpha):
- Add an IPv6 address for the "bastet" directory authority. Closes
ticket 24394.
o Minor features (geoip):
- Update geoip and geoip6 to the November 6 2017 Maxmind GeoLite2
Country database.
o Minor bugfix (relay address resolution, backport from 0.3.2.1-alpha):
- Avoid unnecessary calls to directory_fetches_from_authorities() on
relays, to prevent spurious address resolutions and descriptor
rebuilds. This is a mitigation for bug 21789. Fixes bug 23470;
bugfix on in 0.2.8.1-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (compilation, backport from 0.3.2.1-alpha):
- Fix unused variable warnings in donna's Curve25519 SSE2 code.
Fixes bug 22895; bugfix on 0.2.7.2-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (logging, relay shutdown, annoyance, backport from 0.3.2.2-alpha):
- When a circuit is marked for close, do not attempt to package any
cells for channels on that circuit. Previously, we would detect
this condition lower in the call stack, when we noticed that the
circuit had no attached channel, and log an annoying message.
Fixes bug 8185; bugfix on 0.2.5.4-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (onion service, backport from 0.3.2.5-alpha):
- Rename the consensus parameter "hsdir-interval" to \
"hsdir_interval"
so it matches dir-spec.txt. Fixes bug 24262; bugfix
on 0.3.1.1-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (relay, crash, backport from 0.3.2.4-alpha):
- Avoid a crash when transitioning from client mode to bridge mode.
Previously, we would launch the worker threads whenever our
"public server" mode changed, but not when our \
"server" mode
changed. Fixes bug 23693; bugfix on 0.2.6.3-alpha.

Log message:
tor: updated to 0.3.1.8
Changes in version 0.3.1.8:
Tor 0.3.1.7 is the second stable release in the 0.3.1 series.
It includes several bugfixes, including a bugfix for a crash issue
that had affected relays under memory pressure. It also adds
a new directory authority, Bastet.
o Directory authority changes:
- Add "Bastet" as a ninth directory authority to the default list.
- The directory authority "Longclaw" has changed its IP address.
o Major bugfixes (relay, crash, assertion failure, backport from 0.3.2.2-alpha):
- Fix a timing-based assertion failure that could occur when the
circuit out-of-memory handler freed a connection's output buffer.
o Minor features (directory authorities, backport from 0.3.2.2-alpha):
- Remove longclaw's IPv6 address, as it will soon change. Authority
IPv6 addresses were originally added in 0.2.8.1-alpha. This leaves
3/8 directory authorities with IPv6 addresses, but there are also
52 fallback directory mirrors with IPv6 addresses.
o Minor features (geoip):
- Update geoip and geoip6 to the October 4 2017 Maxmind GeoLite2
Country database.
o Minor bugfixes (compilation, backport from 0.3.2.2-alpha):
- Fix a compilation warning when building with zstd support on
32-bit platforms.
o Minor bugfixes (compression, backport from 0.3.2.2-alpha):
- Handle a pathological case when decompressing Zstandard data when
the output buffer size is zero.
o Minor bugfixes (directory authority, backport from 0.3.2.1-alpha):
- Remove the length limit on HTTP status lines that authorities can
send in their replies.
o Minor bugfixes (hidden service, relay, backport from 0.3.2.2-alpha):
- Avoid a possible double close of a circuit by the intro point on
error of sending the INTRO_ESTABLISHED cell.
o Minor bugfixes (memory safety, backport from 0.3.2.3-alpha):
- Clear the address when node_get_prim_orport() returns early.
o Minor bugfixes (unit tests, backport from 0.3.2.2-alpha):
- Fix additional channelpadding unit test failures by using mocked
time instead of actual time for all tests.

Log message:
tor: update to 0.3.0.11.
Changes in version 0.3.0.11 - 2017-09-18
Tor 0.3.0.11 backports a collection of bugfixes from Tor the 0.3.1
series.
Most significantly, it includes a fix for TROVE-2017-008, a
security bug that affects hidden services running with the
SafeLogging option disabled. For more information, see
https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/23490
o Minor features (code style, backport from 0.3.1.7):
- Add "Falls through" comments to our codebase, in order to silence
GCC 7's -Wimplicit-fallthrough warnings. Patch from Andreas
Stieger. Closes ticket 22446.
o Minor features:
- Update geoip and geoip6 to the September 6 2017 Maxmind GeoLite2
Country database.
o Minor bugfixes (compilation, backport from 0.3.1.7):
- Avoid compiler warnings in the unit tests for calling tor_sscanf()
with wide string outputs. Fixes bug 15582; bugfix on 0.2.6.2-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (controller, backport from 0.3.1.7):
- Do not crash when receiving a HSPOST command with an empty body.
Fixes part of bug 22644; bugfix on 0.2.7.1-alpha.
- Do not crash when receiving a POSTDESCRIPTOR command with an empty
body. Fixes part of bug 22644; bugfix on 0.2.0.1-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (file limits, osx, backport from 0.3.1.5-alpha):
- When setting the maximum number of connections allowed by the OS,
always allow some extra file descriptors for other files. Fixes
bug 22797; bugfix on 0.2.0.10-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (logging, relay, backport from 0.3.1.6-rc):
- Remove a forgotten debugging message when an introduction point
successfully establishes a hidden service prop224 circuit with
a client.
- Change three other log_warn() for an introduction point to
protocol warnings, because they can be failure from the network
and are not relevant to the operator. Fixes bug 23078; bugfix on
0.3.0.1-alpha and 0.3.0.2-alpha.

Log message:
Updated tor to 0.3.0.10.
Changes in version 0.3.0.10 - 2017-08-02
Tor 0.3.0.10 backports a collection of small-to-medium bugfixes
from the current Tor alpha series. OpenBSD users and TPROXY users
should upgrade; others are probably okay sticking with 0.3.0.9.
o Major features (build system, continuous integration, backport from \
0.3.1.5-alpha):
- Tor's repository now includes a Travis Continuous Integration (CI)
configuration file (.travis.yml). This is meant to help new
developers and contributors who fork Tor to a Github repository be
better able to test their changes, and understand what we expect
to pass. To use this new build feature, you must fork Tor to your
Github account, then go into the "Integrations" menu in the
repository settings for your fork and enable Travis, then push
your changes. Closes ticket 22636.
o Major bugfixes (linux TPROXY support, backport from 0.3.1.1-alpha):
- Fix a typo that had prevented TPROXY-based transparent proxying
from working under Linux. Fixes bug 18100; bugfix on 0.2.6.3-alpha.
Patch from "d4fq0fQAgoJ".
o Major bugfixes (openbsd, denial-of-service, backport from 0.3.1.5-alpha):
- Avoid an assertion failure bug affecting our implementation of
inet_pton(AF_INET6) on certain OpenBSD systems whose strtol()
handling of "0xfoo" differs from what we had expected. Fixes bug
22789; bugfix on 0.2.3.8-alpha. Also tracked as TROVE-2017-007.
o Minor features (backport from 0.3.1.5-alpha):
- Update geoip and geoip6 to the July 4 2017 Maxmind GeoLite2
Country database.
o Minor bugfixes (bandwidth accounting, backport from 0.3.1.2-alpha):
- Roll over monthly accounting at the configured hour and minute,
rather than always at 00:00. Fixes bug 22245; bugfix on 0.0.9rc1.
Found by Andrey Karpov with PVS-Studio.
o Minor bugfixes (compilation warnings, backport from 0.3.1.5-alpha):
- Suppress -Wdouble-promotion warnings with clang 4.0. Fixes bug 22915;
bugfix on 0.2.8.1-alpha.
- Fix warnings when building with libscrypt and openssl scrypt
support on Clang. Fixes bug 22916; bugfix on 0.2.7.2-alpha.
- When building with certain versions of the mingw C header files,
avoid float-conversion warnings when calling the C functions
isfinite(), isnan(), and signbit(). Fixes bug 22801; bugfix
on 0.2.8.1-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (compilation, mingw, backport from 0.3.1.1-alpha):
- Backport a fix for an "unused variable" warning that appeared
in some versions of mingw. Fixes bug 22838; bugfix on
0.2.8.1-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (coverity build support, backport from 0.3.1.5-alpha):
- Avoid Coverity build warnings related to our BUG() macro. By
default, Coverity treats BUG() as the Linux kernel does: an
instant abort(). We need to override that so our BUG() macro
doesn't prevent Coverity from analyzing functions that use it.
Fixes bug 23030; bugfix on 0.2.9.1-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (directory authority, backport from 0.3.1.1-alpha):
- When rejecting a router descriptor for running an obsolete version
of Tor without ntor support, warn about the obsolete tor version,
not the missing ntor key. Fixes bug 20270; bugfix on 0.2.9.3-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (linux seccomp2 sandbox, backport from 0.3.1.5-alpha):
- Avoid a sandbox failure when trying to re-bind to a socket and
mark it as IPv6-only. Fixes bug 20247; bugfix on 0.2.5.1-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (unit tests, backport from 0.3.1.5-alpha)
- Fix a memory leak in the link-handshake/certs_ok_ed25519 test.
Fixes bug 22803; bugfix on 0.3.0.1-alpha.

Log message:
Updated tor to 0.3.0.9.
Changes in version 0.3.0.9 - 2017-06-29
Tor 0.3.0.9 fixes a path selection bug that would allow a client
to use a guard that was in the same network family as a chosen exit
relay. This is a security regression; all clients running earlier
versions of 0.3.0.x or 0.3.1.x should upgrade to 0.3.0.9 or
0.3.1.4-alpha.
This release also backports several other bugfixes from the 0.3.1.x
series.
o Major bugfixes (path selection, security, backport from 0.3.1.4-alpha):
- When choosing which guard to use for a circuit, avoid the exit's
family along with the exit itself. Previously, the new guard
selection logic avoided the exit, but did not consider its family.
Fixes bug 22753; bugfix on 0.3.0.1-alpha. Tracked as TROVE-2016-
006 and CVE-2017-0377.
o Major bugfixes (entry guards, backport from 0.3.1.1-alpha):
- Don't block bootstrapping when a primary bridge is offline and we
can't get its descriptor. Fixes bug 22325; fixes one case of bug
21969; bugfix on 0.3.0.3-alpha.
o Major bugfixes (entry guards, backport from 0.3.1.4-alpha):
- When starting with an old consensus, do not add new entry guards
unless the consensus is "reasonably live" (under 1 day old). Fixes
one root cause of bug 22400; bugfix on 0.3.0.1-alpha.
o Minor features (geoip):
- Update geoip and geoip6 to the June 8 2017 Maxmind GeoLite2
Country database.
o Minor bugfixes (voting consistency, backport from 0.3.1.1-alpha):
- Reject version numbers with non-numeric prefixes (such as +, -, or
whitespace). Disallowing whitespace prevents differential version
parsing between POSIX-based and Windows platforms. Fixes bug 21507
and part of 21508; bugfix on 0.0.8pre1.
o Minor bugfixes (linux seccomp2 sandbox, backport from 0.3.1.4-alpha):
- Permit the fchmod system call, to avoid crashing on startup when
starting with the seccomp2 sandbox and an unexpected set of
permissions on the data directory or its contents. Fixes bug
22516; bugfix on 0.2.5.4-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (defensive programming, backport from 0.3.1.4-alpha):
- Fix a memset() off the end of an array when packing cells. This
bug should be harmless in practice, since the corrupted bytes are
still in the same structure, and are always padding bytes,
ignored, or immediately overwritten, depending on compiler
behavior. Nevertheless, because the memset()'s purpose is to make
sure that any other cell-handling bugs can't expose bytes to the
network, we need to fix it. Fixes bug 22737; bugfix on
0.2.4.11-alpha. Fixes CID 1401591.

Log message:
Updated tor to 0.3.0.8.
Changes in version 0.3.0.8 - 2017-06-08
Tor 0.3.0.8 fixes a pair of bugs that would allow an attacker to
remotely crash a hidden service with an assertion failure. Anyone
running a hidden service should upgrade to this version, or to some
other version with fixes for TROVE-2017-004 and TROVE-2017-005.
Tor 0.3.0.8 also includes fixes for several key management bugs
that sometimes made relays unreliable, as well as several other
bugfixes described below.
o Major bugfixes (hidden service, relay, security, backport
from 0.3.1.3-alpha):
- Fix a remotely triggerable assertion failure when a hidden service
handles a malformed BEGIN cell. Fixes bug 22493, tracked as
TROVE-2017-004 and as CVE-2017-0375; bugfix on 0.3.0.1-alpha.
- Fix a remotely triggerable assertion failure caused by receiving a
BEGIN_DIR cell on a hidden service rendezvous circuit. Fixes bug
22494, tracked as TROVE-2017-005 and CVE-2017-0376; bugfix
on 0.2.2.1-alpha.
o Major bugfixes (relay, link handshake, backport from 0.3.1.3-alpha):
- When performing the v3 link handshake on a TLS connection, report
that we have the x509 certificate that we actually used on that
connection, even if we have changed certificates since that
connection was first opened. Previously, we would claim to have
used our most recent x509 link certificate, which would sometimes
make the link handshake fail. Fixes one case of bug 22460; bugfix
on 0.2.3.6-alpha.
o Major bugfixes (relays, key management, backport from 0.3.1.3-alpha):
- Regenerate link and authentication certificates whenever the key
that signs them changes; also, regenerate link certificates
whenever the signed key changes. Previously, these processes were
only weakly coupled, and we relays could (for minutes to hours)
wind up with an inconsistent set of keys and certificates, which
other relays would not accept. Fixes two cases of bug 22460;
bugfix on 0.3.0.1-alpha.
- When sending an Ed25519 signing->link certificate in a CERTS cell,
send the certificate that matches the x509 certificate that we
used on the TLS connection. Previously, there was a race condition
if the TLS context rotated after we began the TLS handshake but
before we sent the CERTS cell. Fixes a case of bug 22460; bugfix
on 0.3.0.1-alpha.
o Major bugfixes (hidden service v3, backport from 0.3.1.1-alpha):
- Stop rejecting v3 hidden service descriptors because their size
did not match an old padding rule. Fixes bug 22447; bugfix on
tor-0.3.0.1-alpha.
o Minor features (fallback directory list, backport from 0.3.1.3-alpha):
- Replace the 177 fallbacks originally introduced in Tor 0.2.9.8 in
December 2016 (of which ~126 were still functional) with a list of
151 fallbacks (32 new, 119 unchanged, 58 removed) generated in May
2017. Resolves ticket 21564.
o Minor bugfixes (configuration, backport from 0.3.1.1-alpha):
- Do not crash when starting with LearnCircuitBuildTimeout 0. Fixes
bug 22252; bugfix on 0.2.9.3-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (correctness, backport from 0.3.1.3-alpha):
- Avoid undefined behavior when parsing IPv6 entries from the geoip6
file. Fixes bug 22490; bugfix on 0.2.4.6-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (link handshake, backport from 0.3.1.3-alpha):
- Lower the lifetime of the RSA->Ed25519 cross-certificate to six
months, and regenerate it when it is within one month of expiring.
Previously, we had generated this certificate at startup with a
ten-year lifetime, but that could lead to weird behavior when Tor
was started with a grossly inaccurate clock. Mitigates bug 22466;
mitigation on 0.3.0.1-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (memory leak, directory authority, backport from
0.3.1.2-alpha):
- When directory authorities reject a router descriptor due to
keypinning, free the router descriptor rather than leaking the
memory. Fixes bug 22370; bugfix on 0.2.7.2-alpha.

Log message:
Changes in version 0.3.0.7 - 2017-05-15
Tor 0.3.0.7 fixes a medium-severity security bug in earlier versions
of Tor 0.3.0.x, where an attacker could cause a Tor relay process to
exit. Relays running earlier versions of Tor 0.3.0.x should upgrade;
clients are not affected.
o Major bugfixes (hidden service directory, security):
- Fix an assertion failure in the hidden service directory code,
which could be used by an attacker to remotely cause a Tor relay
process to exit. Relays running earlier versions of Tor 0.3.0.x
should upgrade. This security issue is tracked as TROVE-2017-002.
Fixes bug 22246; bugfix on 0.3.0.1-alpha.
o Minor features:
- Update geoip and geoip6 to the May 2 2017 Maxmind GeoLite2
Country database.
o Minor features (future-proofing):
- Tor no longer refuses to download microdescriptors or descriptors
if they are listed as "published in the future". This change will
eventually allow us to stop listing meaningful "published" dates
in microdescriptor consensuses, and thereby allow us to reduce the
resources required to download consensus diffs by over 50%.
Implements part of ticket 21642; implements part of proposal 275.
o Minor bugfixes (Linux seccomp2 sandbox):
- The getpid() system call is now permitted under the Linux seccomp2
sandbox, to avoid crashing with versions of OpenSSL (and other
libraries) that attempt to learn the process's PID by using the
syscall rather than the VDSO code. Fixes bug 21943; bugfix
on 0.2.5.1-alpha.

Log message:
Updated tor to 0.3.0.6.
Changes in version 0.3.0.6 - 2017-04-26
Tor 0.3.0.6 is the first stable release of the Tor 0.3.0 series.
With the 0.3.0 series, clients and relays now use Ed25519 keys to
authenticate their link connections to relays, rather than the old
RSA1024 keys that they used before. (Circuit crypto has been
Curve25519-authenticated since 0.2.4.8-alpha.) We have also replaced
the guard selection and replacement algorithm to behave more robustly
in the presence of unreliable networks, and to resist guard-
capture attacks.
This series also includes numerous other small features and bugfixes,
along with more groundwork for the upcoming hidden-services revamp.
Per our stable release policy, we plan to support the Tor 0.3.0
release series for at least the next nine months, or for three months
after the first stable release of the 0.3.1 series: whichever is
longer. If you need a release with long-term support, we recommend
that you stay with the 0.2.9 series.
Below are the changes since 0.2.9.10. For a list of only the changes
since 0.3.0.5-rc, see the ChangeLog file.
o Major features (directory authority, security):
- The default for AuthDirPinKeys is now 1: directory authorities
will reject relays where the RSA identity key matches a previously
seen value, but the Ed25519 key has changed. Closes ticket 18319.
o Major features (guard selection algorithm):
- Tor's guard selection algorithm has been redesigned from the
ground up, to better support unreliable networks and restrictive
sets of entry nodes, and to better resist guard-capture attacks by
hostile local networks. Implements proposal 271; closes
ticket 19877.
o Major features (next-generation hidden services):
- Relays can now handle v3 ESTABLISH_INTRO cells as specified by
prop224 aka "Next Generation Hidden Services". Service and clients
don't use this functionality yet. Closes ticket 19043. Based on
initial code by Alec Heifetz.
- Relays now support the HSDir version 3 protocol, so that they can
can store and serve v3 descriptors. This is part of the next-
generation onion service work detailled in proposal 224. Closes
ticket 17238.
o Major features (protocol, ed25519 identity keys):
- Clients now support including Ed25519 identity keys in the EXTEND2
cells they generate. By default, this is controlled by a consensus
parameter, currently disabled. You can turn this feature on for
testing by setting ExtendByEd25519ID in your configuration. This
might make your traffic appear different than the traffic
generated by other users, however. Implements part of ticket
15056; part of proposal 220.
- Relays now understand requests to extend to other relays by their
Ed25519 identity keys. When an Ed25519 identity key is included in
an EXTEND2 cell, the relay will only extend the circuit if the
other relay can prove ownership of that identity. Implements part
of ticket 15056; part of proposal 220.
- Relays now use Ed25519 to prove their Ed25519 identities and to
one another, and to clients. This algorithm is faster and more
secure than the RSA-based handshake we've been doing until now.
Implements the second big part of proposal 220; Closes
ticket 15055.
o Major features (security):
- Change the algorithm used to decide DNS TTLs on client and server
side, to better resist DNS-based correlation attacks like the
DefecTor attack of Greschbach, Pulls, Roberts, Winter, and
Feamster. Now relays only return one of two possible DNS TTL
values, and clients are willing to believe DNS TTL values up to 3
hours long. Closes ticket 19769.
o Major bugfixes (client, onion service, also in 0.2.9.9):
- Fix a client-side onion service reachability bug, where multiple
socks requests to an onion service (or a single slow request)
could cause us to mistakenly mark some of the service's
introduction points as failed, and we cache that failure so
eventually we run out and can't reach the service. Also resolves a
mysterious "Remote server sent bogus reason code 65021" log
warning. The bug was introduced in ticket 17218, where we tried to
remember the circuit end reason as a uint16_t, which mangled
negative values. Partially fixes bug 21056 and fixes bug 20307;
bugfix on 0.2.8.1-alpha.
o Major bugfixes (crash, directory connections):
- Fix a rare crash when sending a begin cell on a circuit whose
linked directory connection had already been closed. Fixes bug
21576; bugfix on 0.2.9.3-alpha. Reported by Alec Muffett.
o Major bugfixes (directory authority):
- During voting, when marking a relay as a probable sybil, do not
clear its BadExit flag: sybils can still be bad in other ways
too. (We still clear the other flags.) Fixes bug 21108; bugfix
on 0.2.0.13-alpha.
o Major bugfixes (DNS):
- Fix a bug that prevented exit nodes from caching DNS records for
more than 60 seconds. Fixes bug 19025; bugfix on 0.2.4.7-alpha.
o Major bugfixes (IPv6 Exits):
- Stop rejecting all IPv6 traffic on Exits whose exit policy rejects
any IPv6 addresses. Instead, only reject a port over IPv6 if the
exit policy rejects that port on more than an IPv6 /16 of
addresses. This bug was made worse by 17027 in 0.2.8.1-alpha,
which rejected a relay's own IPv6 address by default. Fixes bug
21357; bugfix on commit 004f3f4e53 in 0.2.4.7-alpha.
o Major bugfixes (parsing):
- Fix an integer underflow bug when comparing malformed Tor
versions. This bug could crash Tor when built with
--enable-expensive-hardening, or on Tor 0.2.9.1-alpha through Tor
0.2.9.8, which were built with -ftrapv by default. In other cases
it was harmless. Part of TROVE-2017-001. Fixes bug 21278; bugfix
on 0.0.8pre1. Found by OSS-Fuzz.
- When parsing a malformed content-length field from an HTTP
message, do not read off the end of the buffer. This bug was a
potential remote denial-of-service attack against Tor clients and
relays. A workaround was released in October 2016, to prevent this
bug from crashing Tor. This is a fix for the underlying issue,
which should no longer matter (if you applied the earlier patch).
Fixes bug 20894; bugfix on 0.2.0.16-alpha. Bug found by fuzzing
using AFL (http://lcamtuf.coredump.cx/afl/).
o Major bugfixes (scheduler):
- Actually compare circuit policies in ewma_cmp_cmux(). This bug
caused the channel scheduler to behave more or less randomly,
rather than preferring channels with higher-priority circuits.
Fixes bug 20459; bugfix on 0.2.6.2-alpha.
o Major bugfixes (security, also in 0.2.9.9):
- Downgrade the "-ftrapv" option from "always on" to \
"only on when
--enable-expensive-hardening is provided." This hardening option,
like others, can turn survivable bugs into crashes--and having it
on by default made a (relatively harmless) integer overflow bug
into a denial-of-service bug. Fixes bug 21278 (TROVE-2017-001);
bugfix on 0.2.9.1-alpha.
o Minor feature (client):
- Enable IPv6 traffic on the SocksPort by default. To disable this,
a user will have to specify "NoIPv6Traffic". Closes ticket 21269.
o Minor feature (fallback scripts):
- Add a check_existing mode to updateFallbackDirs.py, which checks
if fallbacks in the hard-coded list are working. Closes ticket
20174. Patch by haxxpop.
o Minor feature (protocol versioning):
- Add new protocol version for proposal 224. HSIntro now advertises
version "3-4" and HSDir version "1-2". Fixes ticket 20656.
o Minor features (ciphersuite selection):
- Allow relays to accept a wider range of ciphersuites, including
chacha20-poly1305 and AES-CCM. Closes the other part of 15426.
- Clients now advertise a list of ciphersuites closer to the ones
preferred by Firefox. Closes part of ticket 15426.
o Minor features (controller):
- Add "GETINFO sr/current" and "GETINFO sr/previous" \
keys, to expose
shared-random values to the controller. Closes ticket 19925.
- When HSFETCH arguments cannot be parsed, say "Invalid argument"
rather than "unrecognized." Closes ticket 20389; patch from
Ivan Markin.
o Minor features (controller, configuration):
- Each of the *Port options, such as SocksPort, ORPort, ControlPort,
and so on, now comes with a __*Port variant that will not be saved
to the torrc file by the controller's SAVECONF command. This
change allows TorBrowser to set up a single-use domain socket for
each time it launches Tor. Closes ticket 20956.
- The GETCONF command can now query options that may only be
meaningful in context-sensitive lists. This allows the controller
to query the mixed SocksPort/__SocksPort style options introduced
in feature 20956. Implements ticket 21300.
o Minor features (diagnostic, directory client):
- Warn when we find an unexpected inconsistency in directory
download status objects. Prevents some negative consequences of
bug 20593.
o Minor features (directory authorities):
- Directory authorities now reject descriptors that claim to be
malformed versions of Tor. Helps prevent exploitation of
bug 21278.
- Reject version numbers with components that exceed INT32_MAX.
Otherwise 32-bit and 64-bit platforms would behave inconsistently.
Fixes bug 21450; bugfix on 0.0.8pre1.
o Minor features (directory authority):
- Add a new authority-only AuthDirTestEd25519LinkKeys option (on by
default) to control whether authorities should try to probe relays
by their Ed25519 link keys. This option will go away in a few
releases--unless we encounter major trouble in our ed25519 link
protocol rollout, in which case it will serve as a safety option.
o Minor features (directory cache):
- Relays and bridges will now refuse to serve the consensus they
have if they know it is too old for a client to use. Closes
ticket 20511.
o Minor features (ed25519 link handshake):
- Advertise support for the ed25519 link handshake using the
subprotocol-versions mechanism, so that clients can tell which
relays can identity themselves by Ed25519 ID. Closes ticket 20552.
o Minor features (entry guards):
- Add UseEntryGuards to TEST_OPTIONS_DEFAULT_VALUES in order to not
break regression tests.
- Require UseEntryGuards when UseBridges is set, in order to make
sure bridges aren't bypassed. Resolves ticket 20502.
o Minor features (fallback directories):
- Allow 3 fallback relays per operator, which is safe now that we
are choosing 200 fallback relays. Closes ticket 20912.
- Annotate updateFallbackDirs.py with the bandwidth and consensus
weight for each candidate fallback. Closes ticket 20878.
- Display the relay fingerprint when downloading consensuses from
fallbacks. Closes ticket 20908.
- Exclude relays affected by bug 20499 from the fallback list.
Exclude relays from the fallback list if they are running versions
known to be affected by bug 20499, or if in our tests they deliver
a stale consensus (i.e. one that expired more than 24 hours ago).
Closes ticket 20539.
- Make it easier to change the output sort order of fallbacks.
Closes ticket 20822.
- Reduce the minimum fallback bandwidth to 1 MByte/s. Part of
ticket 18828.
- Require fallback directories to have the same address and port for
7 days (now that we have enough relays with this stability).
Relays whose OnionOO stability timer is reset on restart by bug
18050 should upgrade to Tor 0.2.8.7 or later, which has a fix for
this issue. Closes ticket 20880; maintains short-term fix
in 0.2.8.2-alpha.
- Require fallbacks to have flags for 90% of the time (weighted
decaying average), rather than 95%. This allows at least 73% of
clients to bootstrap in the first 5 seconds without contacting an
authority. Part of ticket 18828.
- Select 200 fallback directories for each release. Closes
ticket 20881.
o Minor features (fingerprinting resistence, authentication):
- Extend the length of RSA keys used for TLS link authentication to
2048 bits. (These weren't used for forward secrecy; for forward
secrecy, we used P256.) Closes ticket 13752.
o Minor features (geoip):
- Update geoip and geoip6 to the April 4 2017 Maxmind GeoLite2
Country database.
o Minor features (geoip, also in 0.2.9.9):
- Update geoip and geoip6 to the January 4 2017 Maxmind GeoLite2
Country database.
o Minor features (infrastructure):
- Implement smartlist_add_strdup() function. Replaces the use of
smartlist_add(sl, tor_strdup(str)). Closes ticket 20048.
o Minor features (linting):
- Enhance the changes file linter to warn on Tor versions that are
prefixed with "tor-". Closes ticket 21096.
o Minor features (logging):
- In several places, describe unset ed25519 keys as "<unset>",
rather than the scary "AAAAAAAA...AAA". Closes ticket 21037.
o Minor features (portability, compilation):
- Autoconf now checks to determine if OpenSSL structures are opaque,
instead of explicitly checking for OpenSSL version numbers. Part
of ticket 21359.
- Support building with recent LibreSSL code that uses opaque
structures. Closes ticket 21359.
o Minor features (relay):
- We now allow separation of exit and relay traffic to different
source IP addresses, using the OutboundBindAddressExit and
OutboundBindAddressOR options respectively. Closes ticket 17975.
Written by Michael Sonntag.
o Minor features (reliability, crash):
- Try better to detect problems in buffers where they might grow (or
think they have grown) over 2 GB in size. Diagnostic for
bug 21369.
o Minor features (testing):
- During 'make test-network-all', if tor logs any warnings, ask
chutney to output them. Requires a recent version of chutney with
the 21572 patch. Implements 21570.
o Minor bugfix (control protocol):
- The reply to a "GETINFO config/names" request via the control
protocol now spells the type "Dependent" correctly. This is a
breaking change in the control protocol. (The field seems to be
ignored by the most common known controllers.) Fixes bug 18146;
bugfix on 0.1.1.4-alpha.
- The GETINFO extra-info/digest/<digest> command was broken because
of a wrong base16 decode return value check, introduced when
refactoring that API. Fixes bug 22034; bugfix on 0.2.9.1-alpha.
o Minor bugfix (logging):
- Don't recommend the use of Tor2web in non-anonymous mode.
Recommending Tor2web is a bad idea because the client loses all
anonymity. Tor2web should only be used in specific cases by users
who *know* and understand the issues. Fixes bug 21294; bugfix
on 0.2.9.3-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (bug resilience):
- Fix an unreachable size_t overflow in base64_decode(). Fixes bug
19222; bugfix on 0.2.0.9-alpha. Found by Guido Vranken; fixed by
Hans Jerry Illikainen.
o Minor bugfixes (build):
- Replace obsolete Autoconf macros with their modern equivalent and
prevent similar issues in the future. Fixes bug 20990; bugfix
on 0.1.0.1-rc.
o Minor bugfixes (certificate expiration time):
- Avoid using link certificates that don't become valid till some
time in the future. Fixes bug 21420; bugfix on 0.2.4.11-alpha
o Minor bugfixes (client):
- Always recover from failures in extend_info_from_node(), in an
attempt to prevent any recurrence of bug 21242. Fixes bug 21372;
bugfix on 0.2.3.1-alpha.
- When clients that use bridges start up with a cached consensus on
disk, they were ignoring it and downloading a new one. Now they
use the cached one. Fixes bug 20269; bugfix on 0.2.3.12-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (code correctness):
- Repair a couple of (unreachable or harmless) cases of the risky
comparison-by-subtraction pattern that caused bug 21278.
o Minor bugfixes (config):
- Don't assert on startup when trying to get the options list and
LearnCircuitBuildTimeout is set to 0: we are currently parsing the
options so of course they aren't ready yet. Fixes bug 21062;
bugfix on 0.2.9.3-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (configuration):
- Accept non-space whitespace characters after the severity level in
the `Log` option. Fixes bug 19965; bugfix on 0.2.1.1-alpha.
- Support "TByte" and "TBytes" units in options given in \
bytes.
"TB", "terabyte(s)", "TBit(s)" and \
"terabit(s)" were already
supported. Fixes bug 20622; bugfix on 0.2.0.14-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (configure, autoconf):
- Rename the configure option --enable-expensive-hardening to
--enable-fragile-hardening. Expensive hardening makes the tor
daemon abort when some kinds of issues are detected. Thus, it
makes tor more at risk of remote crashes but safer against RCE or
heartbleed bug category. We now try to explain this issue in a
message from the configure script. Fixes bug 21290; bugfix
on 0.2.5.4-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (consensus weight):
- Add new consensus method that initializes bw weights to 1 instead
of 0. This prevents a zero weight from making it all the way to
the end (happens in small testing networks) and causing an error.
Fixes bug 14881; bugfix on 0.2.2.17-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (crash prevention):
- Fix an (currently untriggerable, but potentially dangerous) crash
bug when base32-encoding inputs whose sizes are not a multiple of
5. Fixes bug 21894; bugfix on 0.2.9.1-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (dead code):
- Remove a redundant check for PidFile changes at runtime in
options_transition_allowed(): this check is already performed
regardless of whether the sandbox is active. Fixes bug 21123;
bugfix on 0.2.5.4-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (descriptors):
- Correctly recognise downloaded full descriptors as valid, even
when using microdescriptors as circuits. This affects clients with
FetchUselessDescriptors set, and may affect directory authorities.
Fixes bug 20839; bugfix on 0.2.3.2-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (directory mirrors):
- Allow relays to use directory mirrors without a DirPort: these
relays need to be contacted over their ORPorts using a begindir
connection. Fixes one case of bug 20711; bugfix on 0.2.8.2-alpha.
- Clarify the message logged when a remote relay is unexpectedly
missing an ORPort or DirPort: users were confusing this with a
local port. Fixes another case of bug 20711; bugfix
on 0.2.8.2-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (directory system):
- Bridges and relays now use microdescriptors (like clients do)
rather than old-style router descriptors. Now bridges will blend
in with clients in terms of the circuits they build. Fixes bug
6769; bugfix on 0.2.3.2-alpha.
- Download all consensus flavors, descriptors, and authority
certificates when FetchUselessDescriptors is set, regardless of
whether tor is a directory cache or not. Fixes bug 20667; bugfix
on all recent tor versions.
o Minor bugfixes (documentation):
- Update the tor manual page to document every option that can not
be changed while tor is running. Fixes bug 21122.
o Minor bugfixes (ed25519 certificates):
- Correctly interpret ed25519 certificates that would expire some
time after 19 Jan 2038. Fixes bug 20027; bugfix on 0.2.7.2-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (fallback directories):
- Avoid checking fallback candidates' DirPorts if they are down in
OnionOO. When a relay operator has multiple relays, this
prioritizes relays that are up over relays that are down. Fixes
bug 20926; bugfix on 0.2.8.3-alpha.
- Stop failing when OUTPUT_COMMENTS is True in updateFallbackDirs.py.
Fixes bug 20877; bugfix on 0.2.8.3-alpha.
- Stop failing when a relay has no uptime data in
updateFallbackDirs.py. Fixes bug 20945; bugfix on 0.2.8.1-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (hidden service):
- Clean up the code for expiring intro points with no associated
circuits. It was causing, rarely, a service with some expiring
introduction points to not open enough additional introduction
points. Fixes part of bug 21302; bugfix on 0.2.7.2-alpha.
- Resolve two possible underflows which could lead to creating and
closing a lot of introduction point circuits in a non-stop loop.
Fixes bug 21302; bugfix on 0.2.7.2-alpha.
- Stop setting the torrc option HiddenServiceStatistics to "0" just
because we're not a bridge or relay. Instead, we preserve whatever
value the user set (or didn't set). Fixes bug 21150; bugfix
on 0.2.6.2-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (hidden services):
- Make hidden services check for failed intro point connections,
even when they have exceeded their intro point creation limit.
Fixes bug 21596; bugfix on 0.2.7.2-alpha. Reported by Alec Muffett.
- Make hidden services with 8 to 10 introduction points check for
failed circuits immediately after startup. Previously, they would
wait for 5 minutes before performing their first checks. Fixes bug
21594; bugfix on 0.2.3.9-alpha. Reported by Alec Muffett.
- Stop ignoring misconfigured hidden services. Instead, refuse to
start tor until the misconfigurations have been corrected. Fixes
bug 20559; bugfix on multiple commits in 0.2.7.1-alpha
and earlier.
o Minor bugfixes (IPv6):
- Make IPv6-using clients try harder to find an IPv6 directory
server. Fixes bug 20999; bugfix on 0.2.8.2-alpha.
- When IPv6 addresses have not been downloaded yet (microdesc
consensus documents don't list relay IPv6 addresses), use hard-
coded addresses for authorities, fallbacks, and configured
bridges. Now IPv6-only clients can use microdescriptors. Fixes bug
20996; bugfix on b167e82 from 19608 in 0.2.8.5-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (memory leak at exit):
- Fix a small harmless memory leak at exit of the previously unused
RSA->Ed identity cross-certificate. Fixes bug 17779; bugfix
on 0.2.7.2-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (onion services):
- Allow the number of introduction points to be as low as 0, rather
than as low as 3. Fixes bug 21033; bugfix on 0.2.7.2-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (portability):
- Use "OpenBSD" compiler macro instead of "OPENBSD" or \
"__OpenBSD__".
It is supported by OpenBSD itself, and also by most OpenBSD
variants (such as Bitrig). Fixes bug 20980; bugfix
on 0.1.2.1-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (portability, also in 0.2.9.9):
- Avoid crashing when Tor is built using headers that contain
CLOCK_MONOTONIC_COARSE, but then tries to run on an older kernel
without CLOCK_MONOTONIC_COARSE. Fixes bug 21035; bugfix
on 0.2.9.1-alpha.
- Fix Libevent detection on platforms without Libevent 1 headers
installed. Fixes bug 21051; bugfix on 0.2.9.1-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (relay):
- Avoid a double-marked-circuit warning that could happen when we
receive DESTROY cells under heavy load. Fixes bug 20059; bugfix
on 0.1.0.1-rc.
- Honor DataDirectoryGroupReadable when tor is a relay. Previously,
initializing the keys would reset the DataDirectory to 0700
instead of 0750 even if DataDirectoryGroupReadable was set to 1.
Fixes bug 19953; bugfix on 0.0.2pre16. Patch by "redfish".
o Minor bugfixes (testing):
- Fix Raspbian build issues related to missing socket errno in
test_util.c. Fixes bug 21116; bugfix on 0.2.8.2. Patch by "hein".
- Remove undefined behavior from the backtrace generator by removing
its signal handler. Fixes bug 21026; bugfix on 0.2.5.2-alpha.
- Use bash in src/test/test-network.sh. This ensures we reliably
call chutney's newer tools/test-network.sh when available. Fixes
bug 21562; bugfix on 0.2.9.1-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (tor-resolve):
- The tor-resolve command line tool now rejects hostnames over 255
characters in length. Previously, it would silently truncate them,
which could lead to bugs. Fixes bug 21280; bugfix on 0.0.9pre5.
Patch by "junglefowl".
o Minor bugfixes (unit tests):
- Allow the unit tests to pass even when DNS lookups of bogus
addresses do not fail as expected. Fixes bug 20862 and 20863;
bugfix on unit tests introduced in 0.2.8.1-alpha
through 0.2.9.4-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (util):
- When finishing writing a file to disk, if we were about to replace
the file with the temporary file created before and we fail to
replace it, remove the temporary file so it doesn't stay on disk.
Fixes bug 20646; bugfix on 0.2.0.7-alpha. Patch by fk.
o Minor bugfixes (Windows services):
- Be sure to initialize the monotonic time subsystem before using
it, even when running as an NT service. Fixes bug 21356; bugfix
on 0.2.9.1-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (Windows):
- Check for getpagesize before using it to mmap files. This fixes
compilation in some MinGW environments. Fixes bug 20530; bugfix on
0.1.2.1-alpha. Reported by "ice".
o Code simplification and refactoring:
- Abolish all global guard context in entrynodes.c; replace with new
guard_selection_t structure as preparation for proposal 271.
Closes ticket 19858.
- Extract magic numbers in circuituse.c into defined variables.
- Introduce rend_service_is_ephemeral() that tells if given onion
service is ephemeral. Replace unclear NULL-checkings for service
directory with this function. Closes ticket 20526.
- Refactor circuit_is_available_for_use to remove unnecessary check.
- Refactor circuit_predict_and_launch_new for readability and
testability. Closes ticket 18873.
- Refactor code to manipulate global_origin_circuit_list into
separate functions. Closes ticket 20921.
- Refactor large if statement in purpose_needs_anonymity to use
switch statement instead. Closes part of ticket 20077.
- Refactor the hashing API to return negative values for errors, as
is done as throughout the codebase. Closes ticket 20717.
- Remove data structures that were used to index or_connection
objects by their RSA identity digests. These structures are fully
redundant with the similar structures used in the
channel abstraction.
- Remove duplicate code in the channel_write_*cell() functions.
Closes ticket 13827; patch from Pingl.
- Remove redundant behavior of is_sensitive_dir_purpose, refactor to
use only purpose_needs_anonymity. Closes part of ticket 20077.
- The code to generate and parse EXTEND and EXTEND2 cells has been
replaced with code automatically generated by the
"trunnel" utility.
o Documentation (formatting):
- Clean up formatting of tor.1 man page and HTML doc, where <pre>
blocks were incorrectly appearing. Closes ticket 20885.
o Documentation (man page):
- Clarify many options in tor.1 and add some min/max values for
HiddenService options. Closes ticket 21058.
o Documentation:
- Change '1' to 'weight_scale' in consensus bw weights calculation
comments, as that is reality. Closes ticket 20273. Patch
from pastly.
- Clarify that when ClientRejectInternalAddresses is enabled (which
is the default), multicast DNS hostnames for machines on the local
network (of the form *.local) are also rejected. Closes
ticket 17070.
- Correct the value for AuthDirGuardBWGuarantee in the manpage, from
250 KBytes to 2 MBytes. Fixes bug 20435; bugfix on 0.2.5.6-alpha.
- Include the "TBits" unit in Tor's man page. Fixes part of bug
20622; bugfix on 0.2.5.1-alpha.
- Small fixes to the fuzzing documentation. Closes ticket 21472.
- Stop the man page from incorrectly stating that HiddenServiceDir
must already exist. Fixes 20486.
- Update the description of the directory server options in the
manual page, to clarify that a relay no longer needs to set
DirPort in order to be a directory cache. Closes ticket 21720.
o Removed features:
- The AuthDirMaxServersPerAuthAddr option no longer exists: The same
limit for relays running on a single IP applies to authority IP
addresses as well as to non-authority IP addresses. Closes
ticket 20960.
- The UseDirectoryGuards torrc option no longer exists: all users
that use entry guards will also use directory guards. Related to
proposal 271; implements part of ticket 20831.
o Testing:
- Add tests for networkstatus_compute_bw_weights_v10.
- Add unit tests circuit_predict_and_launch_new.
- Extract dummy_origin_circuit_new so it can be used by other
test functions.
- New unit tests for tor_htonll(). Closes ticket 19563. Patch
from "overcaffeinated".
- Perform the coding style checks when running the tests and fail
when coding style violations are found. Closes ticket 5500.
