Some DNS NXDOMAIN hijackers hijack truly ridiculous domains, like
"invalid-stuff!!" or "1.2.3.4.5". This would provoke unit test
failures where we used addresses like that to force
tor_addr_lookup() to fail. The fix, for testing, is to mock
tor_addr_lookup() with a variant that always fails when it gets
a name with a !.
Fixes bugs 20862 and 20863.
The abort handler masks the exit status of the backtrace generator by
capturing the abort signal from the backtrace handler and exiting with
zero. Because the output of the backtrace generator is meant to be piped
to `bt_test.py`, its exit status is unimportant and is currently
ignored.
The abort handler calls `exit(3)` which is not asynchronous-signal-safe
and calling it in this context is undefined behavior [0].
Closes ticket 21026.

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).
Replace the 81 remaining fallbacks of the 100 originally introduced
in Tor 0.2.8.3-alpha in March 2016, with a list of 177 fallbacks
(123 new, 54 existing, 27 removed) generated in December 2016.
Resolves ticket 20170.
Sometimes, the fallback generation script doesn't add attributes to the
fallbacks in the list. If this happens, log an error, and avoid selecting
that fallback.
This is a rare issue: it should not change selection behaviour.
Fixes issue #20945.
Exclude relays that have been down for 1 or more days from the fallback
candidate list.
When a relay operator has multiple relays, this prioritises relays that are
up over relays that are down.
Fixes issue #20926.
7 days is a tradeoff between the expected time between major Tor releases,
which is 6 months, and the number of relays with enough 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 e220214 in tor-0.2.8.2-alpha.
In get_token(), we could read one byte past the end of the
region. This is only a big problem in the case where the region
itself is (a) potentially hostile, and (b) not explicitly
nul-terminated.
This patch fixes the underlying bug, and also makes sure that the
one remaining case of not-NUL-terminated potentially hostile data
gets NUL-terminated.
Fix for bug 21018, TROVE-2016-12-002, and CVE-2016-1254
They broke stem, and breaking application compatibility is usually a
bad idea.
This reverts commit 6e10130e18,
commit 78a13df158, and
commit 62f52a888a.
We might re-apply this later, if all the downstream tools can handle
it, and it turns out to be useful for some reason.
