These bugs are not considered security issues - as the input is trusted. - Found with afl-fuzz and ASAN. - - - - - - - General improvements: - - - - - Added support for client-specific tags which allow Privoxy - admins to pre-define tags that are set for all requests from - clients that previously opted in through the CGI interface. - They are useful in multi-user setups where admins may - want to allow users to disable certain actions and filters - for themselves without affecting others. - In single-user setups they are useful to allow more fine-grained - toggling. For example to disable request blocking while still - crunching cookies, or to disable experimental filters only. - This is an experimental feature, the syntax and behaviour may - change in future versions. - Sponsored by Robert Klemme. + accept_connection(): Add missing space to a log message. - Dynamic filters and taggers now support a $listen-address variable - which contains the address the request came in on. - For external filters the variable is called $PRIVOXY_LISTEN_ADDRESS. - Original patch contributed by pursievro. + Initialize ca-related defaults with strdup_or_die() so errors + aren't silently ignored. - Add client-header-tagger 'listen-address'. + make_path: Use malloc_or_die() in cases where allocation errors + were already fatal anyway. - Include the listen-address in the log message when logging new requests. - Patch contributed by pursievro. + handle_established_connection(): Improve an error message slightly. - Turn invalid max-client-connections values into fatal errors. + receive_client_request(): Reject https URLs without CONNECT request. - The show-status page now shows whether or not dates before 1970 - and after 2038 are expected to be handled properly. - This is mainly useful for Privoxy-Regression-Test but could - also come handy when dealing with time-related support requests. + Include all requests in the statistics if mutexes are available. + Previously in case of reused connections only the last request got + counted. The statistics still aren't perfect but it's an improvement. - On Mac OS X the thread id in log messages are more likely to - be unique now. + Add read_socks_reply() and start using it in socks5_connect() + to apply the socket timeout more consistently. - When complaining about missing filters, the filter type is logged - as well. + socks5_connect(): Deal with domain names in the socks reply - A couple of harmless coverity warnings were silenced - (CID #161202, CID #161203, CID #161211). + Add a filter for bundeswehr.de that hides the cookie and + privacy info banner. - - - - Action file improvements: - - - - Filtering is disabled for Range requests to let download resumption - and Windows updates work with the default configuration. - - - - - Unblock ".ardmediathek.de/". - Reported by ThTomate in #932. - - - - Documentation improvements: - + Action file improvements: - Add FAQ entry for crashes caused by memory limits. - - - - - Remove obsolete FAQ entry about a bug in PHP 4.2.3. + Disable filter{banners-by-size} for .freiheitsfoo.de/. - Mention the new mailing lists were appropriate. - As the archives have not been migrated, continue to - mention the archives at SF in the contacting section - for now. + Disable filter{banners-by-size} for freebsdfoundation.org/. - Note that the templates should be adjusted if Privoxy is - running as intercepting proxy without getting all requests. + Disable fast-redirects for consent.youtube.com/. - A bunch of links were converted to https://. + Block requests to ups.xplosion.de/. - Rephrase onion service paragraph to make it more obvious - that Tor is involved and that the whole website (and not - just the homepage) is available as onion service. + Block requests for elsa.memoinsights.com/t. - Streamline the "More information" section on the homepage further - by additionally ditching the link to the 'See also' section - of the user manual.
