CVE-2021-44542. + + + - General improvements: - + Bug fixes: - Log when privoxy is toggled on or off via cgi interface. + 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. - Highlight the "Info: Now toggled " on/off log message - in the Windows log viewer. + 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. - Highlight the loading actions/filter file log message - in the Windows log viewer. + 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. - Mention client-specific tags on the toggle page as a - potentionally more appropriate alternative. + 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. + - Documentation improvements: - + General improvements: - Update download section on the homepage. - The downloads are available from the website now. + 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 sponsor FAQ. + 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. - Remove obsolete reference to mailing lists hosted at SourceForge. + 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. - Update the "Before the Release" section of the developer manual. + 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@. - - - - - - Infrastructure improvements: - - + - Add perl script to generate an RSS feed for the packages - Submitted by "Unknown". + 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. - - - - - - Build system improvements: - - + - strptime.h: fix a compiler warning about ambiguous else. + 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. - configure.in: Check for Docbook goo on the BSDs as well. + 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. - GNUMakefile.in: Let the dok-user target remove temporary files. + 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. - - - - - - - Changes between Privoxy 3.0.25 beta - and the previous release: - - - - - - Bug fixes: - - + - Always use the current toggle state for new requests. - Previously new requests on reused connections inherited - the toggle state from the previous request even though - the toggle state could have changed. - Reported by Robert Klemme. + handle_established_connection(): Slightly improve a comment. - Fixed two buffer-overflows in the (deprecated) static - pcre code. These bugs are not considered security issues - as the input is trusted. - Found with afl-fuzz and ASAN. + handle_established_connection(): Fix a comment. - - - - - - 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. + socks5_connect(): Fix indentation. - 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. + handle_established_connection(): Improve an error message. - Add client-header-tagger 'listen-address'. + create_pattern_spec(): Fix ifdef indentation. - Include the listen-address in the log message when logging new requests. - Patch contributed by pursievro. + Fix comment typos. - Turn invalid max-client-connections values into fatal errors. + 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. - 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. + chat(): Log the applied actions before deciding how to forward the request. - On Mac OS X the thread id in log messages are more likely to - be unique now. + parse_time_header(): Silence a coverity complaint when building without assertions. - When complaining about missing filters, the filter type is logged - as well. + receive_encrypted_request_headers(): Improve a log message. - A couple of harmless coverity warnings were silenced - (CID #161202, CID #161203, CID #161211). + 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. - - - - - - Action file improvements: - - + + + + 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 + + - Filtering is disabled for Range requests to let download resumption - and Windows updates work with the default configuration. + OpenSSL generate_host_certificate(): Fix two error messsages. - Unblock ".ardmediathek.de/". - Reported by ThTomate in #932. + 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. + - Documentation improvements: - + Action file improvements: - Add FAQ entry for crashes caused by memory limits. + Disable fast-redirects for .microsoftonline.com/. - Remove obsolete FAQ entry about a bug in PHP 4.2.3. + Disable fast-redirects for idp.springer.com/. - 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 fast-redirects for .zeit.de/zustimmung. - Note that the templates should be adjusted if Privoxy is - running as intercepting proxy without getting all requests. + Unblock adv-archiv.dfn-cert.de/. - A bunch of links were converted to https://. + Block requests to eu-tlp01.kameleoon.eu/. - 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 to fpa-events.arstechnica.com/. - Streamline the "More information" section on the homepage further - by additionally ditching the link to the 'See also' section - of the user manual. The section contains mostly links that are - directly reachable from the homepage already and the rest is - not significant enough to get a link from the homepage. + Unblock nlnet.nl/. - Change the add-header{} example to set the DNT header - and use a complete section to make copy and pasting - more convenient. - Add a comment to make it obvious that adding the - header is not recommended for obvious reasons. - Using the DNT header as example was suggested by - Leo Wzukw. + Unblock adguard.com/. - + + + + + + + Privoxy-Log-Parser: + - Streamline the support-and-service template - Instead of linking to the various support trackers - (whose URLs hopefully change soon), link to the - contact section of the user manual to increase the - chances that users actually read it. + Highlight 'Socket timeout 3 reached: http://127.0.0.1:20000/no-filter/chunked-content/36'. - Add a FAQ entry for tainted sockets. + Improve documentation for inactivity-detection mode. - More sections in the documentation have stable URLs now. + Detect date changes when looking for inactivity. - FAQ: Explain why 'ping config.privoxy.org' is not expected - to reach a local Privoxy installation. + Add a --passed-request-statistics-threshold option + that can be set to get statistics for requests that + were passed. - Note that donations done through Zwiebelfreunde e.V. currently - can't be checked automatically. + Add a "inactivity detection" mode which can be useful + for debugging purposes. - Updated section regarding starting Privoxy under OS X. + Bump version to 0.9.4. - Use dedicated start instructions for FreeBSD and ElectroBSD. + Only run print_intro() and print_outro() when syntax highlighting. - Removed release instructions for AIX. They haven't been working - for years and unsurprisingly nobody seems to care. + Rephrase a sentence in the documentation. - Removed obsolete reference to the solaris-dist target. + Highlight 'Client socket 7 is no longer usable. The server socket has been closed.'. - Updated the release instructions for FreeBSD. + Clarify --statistics output by explicitly mentioning that + the status codes sent by the server may differ from the ones + in "debug 512" messages. - Removed unfinished release instructions for Amiga OS and HP-UX 11. + Fix typo in the --statistics output. - Added a pointer to the Cygwin Time Machine for getting the last release of - Cygwin version 1.5 to use for building Privoxy on Windows. + Remove an unused variable. - Various typos have been fixed. + Highlight 'The peer notified us that the connection on socket 11 is going to be closed'. + - Infrastructure improvements: + Privoxy-Regression-Test: + + + + Remove duplicated word in a comment. + + + + + + + regression-tests.action: - The website is no longer hosted at SourceForge and - can be reached through https now. + Add fetch test for http://p.p/wpad.dat. + + + + + Bump for-privoxy-version to 3.0.33 which introduced the wpad.dat support. + + + + + Add more tests for the '/send-banner' code. - The mailing lists at SourceForge have been deprecated, - you can subscribe to the new ones at: https://lists.privoxy.org/ + Add test for OVE-20210203-0001. - Migrating the remaining services from SourceForge is - work in progress (TODO list item #53). + Add a test for CVE-2021-20217. + - Build system improvements: - + uagen: - Add configure argument to optimistically redefine FD_SETSIZE - with the intent to change the maximum number of client - connections Privoxy can handle. Only works with some libcs. - Sponsored by Robert Klemme. + Bump generated Firefox version to 91 (ESR). - Let the tarball-dist target skip files in ".git". + Bump version to 1.2.3. - Let the tarball-dist target work in cwds other than current. + Bump copyright. - + + + + + + + Build system: + - Make the 'clean' target faster when run from a git repository. + configure: Bump SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH. - Include tools in the generic distribution. + GNUmakefile.in: Fix typo. - Let the gen-dist target work in cwds other than current. + configure: Add another warning in case --disable-pthread + is used while POSIX threads are available. + Various features don't even compile when not using threads. - Sort find output that is used for distribution tarballs - to get reproducible results. + Add configure option to enable MemorySanitizer. - Don't add '-src' to the name of the tar ball generated by the - gen-dist target.
