In our code to write public keys to a string, for some unfathomable
reason since 253f0f160e, we would allocate a memory BIO, then
set the NOCLOSE flag on it, extract its memory buffer, and free it.
Then a little while later we'd free the memory buffer with
BUF_MEM_free().
As of openssl 1.1 this doesn't work any more, since there is now a
BIO_BUF_MEM structure that wraps the BUF_MEM structure. This
BIO_BUF_MEM doesn't get freed in our code.
So, we had a memory leak!
Is this an openssl bug? Maybe. But our code was already pretty
silly. Why mess around with the NOCLOSE flag here when we can just
keep the BIO object around until we don't need the buffer any more?
Fixes bug 20553; bugfix on 0.0.2pre8
Fixes bug 19969; bugfix on b1d56fc58. We can fix this some more in
later Tors, but for now, this is probably the simplest fix possible.
This is a belt-and-suspenders fix, where the earlier fix ("Ask
event_base_loop to finish when we add a pending stream") aims to respond
to new streams as soon as they arrive, and this one aims to make sure
that we definitely respond to all of the streams.
This simplifies the function: if we have an ntor key, use ntor/EXTEND2,
otherwise, use TAP/EXTEND.
Bugfix on commit 10aa913 from 19163 in 0.2.9.3-alpha.
The tor_fragile_assert() bug has existed here since c8a5e2d588
in tor-0.2.1.7-alpha forever, but tor_fragile_assert() was mostly a
no-op until 0.2.9.1-alpha.
Fixes bug 19869.
This helps protect against bugs where any part of a buf_t's memory
is passed to a function that expects a NUL-terminated input.
It also closes TROVE-2016-10-001 (aka bug 20384).
This commit adds or improves the module-level documenation for:
buffers.c circuitstats.c command.c connection_edge.c control.c
cpuworker.c crypto_curve25519.c crypto_curve25519.h
crypto_ed25519.c crypto_format.c dircollate.c dirserv.c dns.c
dns_structs.h fp_pair.c geoip.c hibernate.c keypin.c ntmain.c
onion.c onion_fast.c onion_ntor.c onion_tap.c periodic.c
protover.c protover.h reasons.c rephist.c replaycache.c
routerlist.c routerparse.c routerset.c statefile.c status.c
tor_main.c workqueue.c
In particular, I've tried to explain (for each documented module)
what each module does, what's in it, what the big idea is, why it
belongs in Tor, and who calls it. In a few cases, I've added TODO
notes about refactoring opportunities.
I've also renamed an argument, and fixed a few DOCDOC comments.
(I've done this instead of changing the semantics of
router_compare_to_my_exit_policy, because dns.c uses
router_compare_to_my_exit_policy too, in a slightly weird way.)
