o Major bugfixes:
|
||||
- Tor tries to wipe potentially sensitive data after using it, so
|
||||
that if some subsequent security failure exposes Tor's memory,
|
||||
the damage will be limited. But we had a bug where the compiler
|
||||
was eliminating these wipe operations when it decided that the
|
||||
memory was no longer visible to a (correctly running) program,
|
||||
hence defeating our attempt at defense in depth. We fix that
|
||||
by using OpenSSL's OPENSSL_cleanse() operation, which a compiler
|
||||
is unlikely to optimize away. Future versions of Tor may use
|
||||
a less ridiculously heavy approach for this. Fixes bug 7352.
