We were looking for the first instance of "directory-signature "
when instead the correct behavior is to look for the first instance
of "directory-signature " at the start of a line.
Unfortunately, this can be exploited as to crash authorities while
they're voting.
Fixes#40316; bugfix on 0.2.2.4-alpha. This is TROVE-2021-002,
also tracked as CVE-2021-28090.
It can be called with strings that should have been
length-delimited, but which in fact are not. This can cause a
CPU-DoS bug or, in a worse case, a crash.
Since this function isn't essential, the best solution for older
Tors is to just turn it off.
Fixes bug 40286; bugfix on 0.2.2.1-alpha when dump_desc() was
introduced.
This was a bad copy and paste error from the previous commit which
generated a duplicated entry error from practracker.
Unreviewed build fix.
See: tor#40275.
While trying to resolve our CI issues, the Windows build broke with an
unused function error:
src/test/test_switch_id.c:37:1: error: ‘unprivileged_port_range_start’
defined but not used [-Werror=unused-function]
We solve this by moving the `#if !defined(_WIN32)` test above the
`unprivileged_port_range_start()` function defintion such that it is
included in its body.
This is an unreviewed commit.

We currently assume that the only way for Tor to listen on ports in the
privileged port range (1 to 1023), on Linux, is if we are granted the
NET_BIND_SERVICE capability. Today on Linux, it's possible to specify
the beginning of the unprivileged port range using a sysctl
configuration option. Docker (and thus the CI service Tor uses) recently
changed this sysctl value to 0, which causes our tests to fail as they
assume that we should NOT be able to bind to a privileged port *without*
the NET_BIND_SERVICE capability.
In this patch, we read the value of the sysctl value via the /proc/sys/
filesystem iff it's present, otherwise we assume the default
unprivileged port range begins at port 1024.
