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. See: tor#40275
Tor protects your privacy on the internet by hiding the connection
between your Internet address and the services you use. We believe Tor
is reasonably secure, but please ensure you read the instructions and
configure it properly.
To build Tor from source:
./configure && make && make install
To build Tor from a just-cloned git repository:
sh autogen.sh && ./configure && make && make install
