-*** Version 3.0.12 ***
-
-- The socket-timeout option now also works on platforms whose
- select() implementation modifies the timeout structure.
- Previously the timeout was triggered even if the connection
- didn't stall. Reported by cyberpatrol.
-- The Connection: keep-alive code properly deals with files
- larger than 2GB. Previously the connection was closed too
- early.
-- The content length for files above 2GB is logged correctly.
-- The user-manual directive on the show-status page links to
- the documentation location specified with the directive,
- not to the Privoxy website.
-- When running in daemon mode, Privoxy doesn't log anything
- to the console unless there are errors before the logfile
- has been opened.
-- The show-status page prints warnings about invalid directives
- on the same line as the directives themselves.
-- Fixed several justified (but harmless) compiler warnings,
- mostly on 64 bit platforms.
-- The mingw32 version explicitly requests the default charset
- to prevent display problems with some fonts available on more
- recent Windows versions. Patch by Burberry.
-- The mingw32 version uses the Privoxy icon in the alt-tab
- windows. Patch by Burberry.
-- The timestamp and the thread id is omitted in the "Fatal error"
- message box on mingw32.
-- Fixed two related mingw32-only buffer overflows. Triggering
- them required control over the configuration file, therefore
- this isn't seen as a security issue.
-- In verbose mode, or if the new option --show-skipped-tests
- is used, Privoxy-Regression-Test logs skipped tests and the
- skip reason.
+- Security/Reliability:
+ - cgi_error_no_template(): Encode the template name to prevent
+ XSS (cross-site scripting) when Privoxy is configured to servce
+ the user-manual itself.
+ Commit 0e668e9409c. OVE-20211102-0001. CVE-2021-44543.
+ Reported by: Artem Ivanov
+ - get_url_spec_param(): Free memory of compiled pattern spec
+ before bailing.
+ Reported by Joshua Rogers (Opera) who also provided the fix.
+ Commit 652b4b7cb0. OVE-20211201-0003. CVE-2021-44540.
+ - process_encrypted_request_headers(): Free header memory when
+ failing to get the request destination.
+ Reported by Joshua Rogers (Opera) who also provided the fix.
+ Commit 0509c58045. OVE-20211201-0002. CVE-2021-44541.
+ - send_http_request(): Prevent memory leaks when handling errors
+ Reported by Joshua Rogers (Opera) who also provided the fix.
+ Commit c48d1d6d08. OVE-20211201-0001. CVE-2021-44542.
+
+- Bug fixes:
+ - handle_established_connection(): Skip the poll()/select() calls
+ if TLS data is pending on the server socket. The TLS library may
+ have already consumed all the data from the server response in
+ which case poll() and select() will not detect that data is
+ available to be read.
+ Fixes SF bug #926 reported by Wen Yue.
+ - continue_https_chat(): Update csp->server_connection.request_sent
+ after sending the request to make sure the latency is calculated
+ correctly. Previously https connections were not reused after
+ timeout seconds after the first request made on the connection.
+ - free_pattern_spec(): Don't try to free an invalid pointer
+ when unloading an action file with a TAG pattern while
+ Privoxy has been compiled without FEATURE_PCRE_HOST_PATTERNS.
+ Closes: SF patch request #147. Patch by Maxim Antonov.
+ - Adjust build_request_line() to create a CONNECT request line when
+ https-inspecting and forwarding to a HTTP proxy.
+ Fixes SF bug #925 reported by Wen Yue.
+ - load_config(): Add a space that was missing in a log message.
+ - read_http_request_body(): Fix two error messages that used an
+ incorrect variable.
+ - If the the response is chunk-encoded, ignore the Content-Length
+ header sent by the server.
+ Allows to load https://redmine.lighttpd.net/ with filtering enabled.
+
+- General improvements:
+ - Allow to edit the add-header action through the CGI editor by
+ generalizing the code that got added with the suppress-tag action.
+ Closes SF patch request #146. Patch by Maxim Antonov.
+ - Add a CGI handler for /wpad.dat that returns a
+ Proxy Auto-Configuration (PAC) file.
+ Among other things, it can be used to instruct clients
+ through DHCP to use Privoxy as proxy.
+ For example with the dnsmasq option:
+ dhcp-option=252,http://config.privoxy.org/wpad.dat
+ Initial patch by Richard Schneidt.
+ - Don't log the applied actions in process_encrypted_request()
+ Log them in continue_https_chat() instead to mirror chat().
+ Prevents the applied actions from getting logged twice
+ for the first request on an https-inspected connection.
+ - OpenSSL generate_host_certificate(): Use config.privoxy.org as Common Name
+ Org and Org Unit if the real host name is too long to get accepted by OpenSSL.
+ Clients should only care about the Subject Alternative Name
+ anyway and we can continue to use the real host name for it.
+ Reported by Miles Wen on privoxy-users@.
+ - Establish the TLS connection with the client earlier and decide
+ how to route the request afterwards. This allows to change the
+ forwarding settings based on information from the https-inspected
+ request, for example the path.
+ - listen_loop(): When shutting down gracefully, close listening ports
+ before waiting for the threads to exit. Allows to start a second
+ Privoxy with the same config file while the first Privoxy is still
+ running.
+ - serve(): Close the client socket as well if the server socket
+ for an inspected connection has been closed. Privoxy currently
+ can't establish a new server connection when the client socket
+ is reused and would drop the connection in continue_https_chat()
+ anyway.
+ - Don't disable redirect checkers in redirect_url().
+ Disable them in handle_established_connection() instead.
+ Doing it in redirect_url() prevented the +redirect{} and
+ +fast-redirects{} actions from being logged with LOG_LEVEL_ACTIONS.
+ - handle_established_connection(): Slightly improve a comment.
+ - handle_established_connection(): Fix a comment.
+ - socks5_connect(): Fix indentation.
+ - handle_established_connection(): Improve an error message.
+ - create_pattern_spec(): Fix ifdef indentation.
+ - Fix comment typos.
+ - process_encrypted_request(): Improve a log message.
+ The function only processes request headers and there
+ may still be unread request body data left to process.
+ - chat(): Log the applied actions before deciding how to forward the request.
+ - parse_time_header(): Silence a coverity complaint when building without assertions.
+ - receive_encrypted_request_headers(): Improve a log message.
+ - mbedTLS get_ciphersuites_from_string(): Use strlcpy() instead of strncpy().
+ Previously the terminating NUL wasn't copied which resulted
+ in a compiler warning. This didn't cause actual problems as
+ the target buffer was initialized by zalloc_or_die() so the
+ last byte of the target buffer was NUL already.
+ Actually copying the terminating NUL seems clearer, though.
+ - Remove compiler warnings. "log_error(LOG_LEVEL_FATAL, ..."
+ doesn't return but apparently the compiler doesn't know that.
+ Get rid of several "this statement may fall through
+ [-Wimplicit-fallthrough=]" warnings.
+ - Store the PEM certificate in a dynamically allocated buffer
+ when https-inspecting. Should prevent errors like:
+ 2021-03-16 22:36:19.148 7f47bbfff700 Error: X509 PEM cert len 16694 is larger than buffer len 16383
+ As a bonus it should slightly reduce the memory usage as most
+ certificates are smaller than the previously used fixed buffer.
+ Reported by: Wen Yue
+ - OpenSSL generate_host_certificate(): Fix two error messsages.
+ - Improve description of handle_established_connection()
+ - OpenSSL ssl_store_cert(): Translate EVP_PKEY_EC to a string.
+ - OpenSSL ssl_store_cert(): Remove pointless variable initialization.
+ - OpenSSL ssl_store_cert(): Initialize pointer with NULL instead of 0.
+
