If tor is compiled on a system with neither vasprintf nor _vscprintf,
the fallback implementation exposes a logic flaw which prevents
proper usage of strings longer than 127 characters:
* tor_vsnprintf returns -1 if supplied buffer is not large enough,
but tor_vasprintf uses this function to retrieve required length
* the result of tor_vsnprintf is not properly checked for negative
return values
Both aspects together could in theory lead to exposure of uninitialized
stack memory in the resulting string. This requires an invalid format
string or data that exceeds integer limitations.
Fortunately tor is not even able to run with this implementation because
it runs into asserts early on during startup. Also the unit tests fail
during a "make check" run.

Fortunately, in 0.3.5.1-alpha we improved logging for various
failure cases involved with onion service client auth.
Unfortunately, for this one, we freed the file right before logging
its name.
Fortunately, tor_free() sets its pointer to NULL, so we didn't have
a use-after-free bug.
Unfortunately, passing NULL to %s is not defined.
Fortunately, GCC 9.1.1 caught the issue!
Unfortunately, nobody has actually tried building Tor with GCC 9.1.1
before. Or if they had, they didn't report the warning.
Fixes bug 30475; bugfix on 0.3.5.1-alpha.
Unlike kill, timelimit can only signal the process it launches. So we need
timelimit to launch python, not make.
Closes ticket 30117; diagnostic for 29437.
Fixes bug 29922; bugfix on 0.2.9.3-alpha when we tried to capture
all these warnings. No need to backport any farther than 0.3.5,
though -- these warnings don't cause test failures before then.
This one was tricky to find because apparently it only happened on
_some_ windows builds.
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.
