- Fixed a DoS issue in case of client requests with incorrect
- chunk-encoded body. When compiled with assertions enabled
- (the default) they could previously cause Privoxy to abort().
- Reported by Matthew Daley.
+ Improve the handling of chunk-encoded responses by buffering the data
+ even if filters are disabled and properly keeping track of where the
+ various chunks are supposed to start and end. Previously Privoxy would
+ merely check the last bytes received to see if they looked like the
+ last-chunk. This failed to work if the last-chunk wasn't received in one
+ read and could also result in actual data being misdetected
+ as last-chunk.
+ Should fix: SF support request #1739.
+ Reported by: withoutname.
+ </para>
+ </listitem>
+ <listitem>
+ <para>
+ remove_chunked_transfer_coding(): Refuse to de-chunk invalid data
+ Previously the data could get corrupted even further.
+ Now we simply pass the unmodified data to the client.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
- Fixed multiple segmentation faults and memory leaks in the
- pcrs code. This fix also increases the chances that an invalid
- pcrs command is rejected as such. Previously some invalid commands
- would be loaded without error. Note that Privoxy's pcrs sources
- (action and filter files) are considered trustworthy input and
- should not be writable by untrusted third-parties.
+ gif_deanimate(): Tolerate multiple image extensions in a row.
+ This allows to deanimate all the gifs on:
+ https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Animated_smilies
+ Fixes SF bug #795 reported by Celejar.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
- Fixed an 'invalid read' bug which could at least theoretically
- cause Privoxy to crash. So far, no crashes have been observed.
+ OpenSSL generate_host_certificate(): Use X509_get_subject_name()
+ instead of X509_get_issuer_name() to get the issuer for generated
+ website certificates so there are no warnings in the browser when using
+ an intermediate CA certificate instead of a self-signed root certificate.
+ Problem reported and patch submitted by Chakib Benziane.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
- Compiles with --disable-force again. Reported by Kai Raven.
+ can_filter_request_body(): Fix a log message that contained a spurious u.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
- Client requests with body that can't be delivered no longer
- cause pipelined requests behind them to be rejected as invalid.
- Reported by Basil Hussain.
+ handle_established_connection(): Check for pending TLS data from the client
+ before checking if data is available on the connection.
+ The TLS library may have already consumed all the data from the client
+ response in which case poll() and select() will not detect that data is
+ available to be read.
+ Sponsored by: Robert Klemme.
+ </para>
+ </listitem>
+ <listitem>
+ <para>
+ ssl_send_certificate_error(): Don't crash if there's no certificate
+ information available. This is only relevant when Privoxy is built with
+ wolfSSL 5.0.0 or later (code not yet published). Earlier wolfSSL versions
+ or the other TLS backends don't seem to trigger the crash.
+ </para>
+ </listitem>
+ <listitem>
+ <para>
+ socks5_connect(): Add support for target hosts specified as IPv4 address
+ Previously the IP address was sent as domain.
</para>

<para>
- If a pcrs command is rejected as invalid, Privoxy now logs
- the cause of the problem as text. Previously the pcrs error
- code was logged.
+ Add a client-body-tagger action which creates tags based on
+ the content of the request body.
+ Sponsored by: Robert Klemme.
+ </para>
+ </listitem>
+ <listitem>
+ <para>
+ When client-body filters are enabled, buffer the whole request
+ before opening a connection to the server.
+ Makes it less likely that the server connection times out
+ and we don't open a connection if the buffering fails anyway.
+ Sponsored by: Robert Klemme.
