- <p><span class="APPLICATION">Privoxy 3.0.30</span> fixes a couple of bugs and introduces a few new features.</p>
- <p>Changes in <span class="APPLICATION">Privoxy 3.0.30</span> stable:</p>
+ <p><span class="APPLICATION">Privoxy 3.0.33</span> fixes an XSS issue and multiple DoS issues and a couple of other
+ bugs. The issues also affect earlier Privoxy releases. <span class="APPLICATION">Privoxy 3.0.33</span> also comes
+ with a couple of general improvements an new features.</p>
+ <p>Changes in <span class="APPLICATION">Privoxy 3.0.33</span> stable:</p>
<ul>
<li>
- <p>Bug fixes:</p>
+ <p>Security/Reliability:</p>
<ul>
<li>
- <p>Check the actual URL for redirects when https inspecting requests. Previously Privoxy would only check
- the path which resulted in rewrite results being rejected as invalid URLs. Reported by withoutname in
- #1736.</p>
- </li>
- <li>
- <p>Let the hide-referrer code tolerate Referer headers with https:// URLs. Previously they would always be
- treated like a changed host.</p>
+ <p>cgi_error_no_template(): Encode the template name to prevent XSS (cross-side scripting) when Privoxy is
+ configured to servce the user-manual itself. Commit 0e668e9409c. OVE-20211102-0001. CVE-2021-44543.
+ Reported by: Artem Ivanov</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>Use the https headers if the show-request handler is reached through https://. Previously Privoxy would
- use the http headers which may be empty on a reused connection.</p>
+ <p>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.</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>Make CGI_PREFIX protocol-relative when building with FEATURE_HTTPS_INSPECTION. This unbreaks (at least)
- https://config.privoxy.org/client-tags whose buttons would previously use a http:// URL resulting in
- browser warnings.</p>
+ <p>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.</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>Support using https-inspection and client-header-order at the same time. Previously Privoxy would crash.
- Reported by: Kai Raven</p>
- </li>
- <li>
- <p>Properly reject rewrites from http to https as they currently aren't supported. Previously Privoxy would
- wait for the client to establish an encrypted connection which obviously would not happen.</p>
- </li>
- <li>
- <p>When https inspection is enabled and Privoxy has been compiled with FEATURE_GRACEFUL_TERMINATION (not
- recommended for production builds), the TLS backend resources are free'd later on and only if no active
- connections are left. Prevents crashes when exiting "gracefully" at the wrong time.</p>
+ <p>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.</p>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>
- <p>General improvements:</p>
+ <p>Bug fixes:</p>
<ul>
<li>
- <p>Allow to rewrite the request destination for https-inspected requests behind the client's back. The
- documentation already sort of claimed that it was supported by not especially mentioning that it didn't
- work for https-inspected requests. Fixes SF bug #923 reported by withoutname.</p>
- </li>
- <li>
- <p>Add support for filtering client request bodies by using CLIENT-BODY-FILTER filters which can be enabled
- with the client-body-filter action. Patch submitted by Maxim Antonov. Sponsored by: Robert Klemme</p>
+ <p>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.</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>Add the new action suppress-tag{} which can be used to prevent a tagger from adding a tag. Patch
- submitted by Maxim Antonov. Sponsored by: Robert Klemme</p>
+ <p>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.</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>Gracefully handle existing website keys without matching certificates. This can happen if Privoxy was
- previously running with an invalid TLS configuration that didn't allow it to create a certificate.</p>
+ <p>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.</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>Recycle debug bit 4 for Tagging-related messages.</p>
+ <p>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.</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>Improve the message shown when the client-tags CGI page is requested with no tags configured.</p>
+ <p>load_config(): Add a space that was missing in a log message.</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>Shorten the 'donate' and 'participate' links used by templates using redirects. Currently the redirects
- lead to the FAQ entries but in the future we may want to relocate the content and using redirects makes
- this more convenient.</p>
+ <p>read_http_request_body(): Fix two error messages that used an incorrect variable.</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>Log an error when a PCRE-HOST-PATTERN is used with FEATURE_PCRE_HOST_PATTERNS disabled. Don't treat this
- a fatal error so the regression tests can be used with and without FEATURE_PCRE_HOST_PATTERNS.</p>
+ <p>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.</p>
</li>
+ </ul>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>General improvements:</p>
+ <ul>
<li>
- <p>The code compiles with older C compilers again.</p>
+ <p>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.</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>The chdir() return code is checked to fix a compiler warning.</p>
+ <p>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.</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>The packages feed has been removed from the source tarball. It's usually out of date when the source
- tarball is generated for the release.</p>
+ <p>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.</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>Fixed harmless compiler warnings from GCC9 with -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2.</p>
+ <p>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@.</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>windows: Remove obsolete '$(DEST)/doc/images' target.</p>
+ <p>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.</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>windows: Install the images referenced in the user manual.</p>
+ <p>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.</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>Remove obsolete 'gnu_regex.@OBJEXT@' target.</p>
+ <p>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.</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>When installing from the GNUMAkefile, don't create an 'images' directory which is no longer used. The
- images were relocated to the user-manual directory years ago.</p>
+ <p>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.</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>Add new FEATURES to the show-status page and resort list.</p>
+ <p>handle_established_connection(): Slightly improve a comment.</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>Remove unused variable in the OpenSSL-specific code.</p>
+ <p>handle_established_connection(): Fix a comment.</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>Update bug tracker URL in cgi_error_unknown().</p>
+ <p>socks5_connect(): Fix indentation.</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>Saved a couple of memory allocations when sorting client headers.</p>
+ <p>handle_established_connection(): Improve an error message.</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>Improved a couple of error messages.</p>
+ <p>create_pattern_spec(): Fix ifdef indentation.</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>Saved memory allocations when using OpenSSL and checking if a key already exists.</p>
+ <p>Fix comment typos.</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>The configure script will bail out if OpenSSL and mbedTLS are enabled at the same time.</p>
+ <p>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.</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>Log a message right before exiting gracefully.</p>
+ <p>chat(): Log the applied actions before deciding how to forward the request.</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>A couple of structures have been rearranged to require slightly less memory.</p>
+ <p>parse_time_header(): Silence a coverity complaint when building without assertions.</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>When https inspection is enabled and the certificate is invalid the error message is now sent with
- status code 403 instead of 200.</p>
+ <p>receive_encrypted_request_headers(): Improve a log message.</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>The Slackware rc script template has been renamed to slackware/rc.privoxy.in to silence complaints when
- building Debian packages.</p>
+ <p>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.</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>When building with MbedTLS support, mbedtls_md5_ret() is used instead of mbedtls_md5() which is
- deprecated and causes a warning on Debian GNU/Linux.</p>
+ <p>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.</p>
</li>
- </ul>
- </li>
- <li>
- <p>Action file improvements:</p>
- <ul>
<li>
- <p>Block requests to eu-tlp03.kameleoon.com/.</p>
+ <p>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</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>Unblock metrics.sr.ht/.</p>
+ <p>OpenSSL generate_host_certificate(): Fix two error messsages.</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>Disable fast-redirects for .fsf.org/.</p>
+ <p>Improve description of handle_established_connection()</p>

+ <p>OpenSSL ssl_store_cert(): Translate EVP_PKEY_EC to a string.</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>Disable fast-redirects for .ksta.de/.</p>
+ <p>OpenSSL ssl_store_cert(): Remove pointless variable initialization.</p>

- </li>
- <li>
- <p>Block requests to analytics.slashdotmedia.com/.</p>

</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>
- <p>Filter file improvements:</p>
+ <p>Privoxy-Log-Parser:</p>
<ul>
<li>
- <p>A allow-autocompletion filter has been added which changes autocomplete="off" to "on" on input fields to
- allow autocompletion. Requested by Jamie Zawinski in #370. Filter based on a submission by Aaron
- Linville.</p>
+ <p>Highlight 'Socket timeout 3 reached: http://127.0.0.1:20000/no-filter/chunked-content/36'.</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>Added an imdb filter.</p>
+ <p>Improve documentation for inactivity-detection mode.</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>Added a sourceforge filter that reduces the amount of ads for proprietary software.</p>
+ <p>Detect date changes when looking for inactivity.</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>Added a github filter that removes the annoying "Sign-Up" banner and the Cookie disclaimer.</p>
+ <p>Add a --passed-request-statistics-threshold option that can be set to get statistics for requests that
+ were passed.</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>Removed a duplicated pcrs command from the js-annoyances filter.</p>
+ <p>Add a "inactivity detection" mode which can be useful for debugging purposes.</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>The crude-parental filter now provides a short reason when blocking, inserts a link to Privoxy's
- webinterface and adds a new line at the end of the generated page.</p>
+ <p>Bump version to 0.9.4.</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>Only run print_intro() and print_outro() when syntax highlighting.</p>
</li>
- </ul>
- </li>
- <li>
- <p>Privoxy-Log-Parser:</p>
- <ul>
<li>
- <p>Highlight a few more messages.</p>
+ <p>Rephrase a sentence in the documentation.</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>Add a handler for tagging messages.</p>
+ <p>Highlight 'Client socket 7 is no longer usable. The server socket has been closed.'.</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>Properly deal with 'Certificate error' crunches Previously the error description was highlighted as
- 'host'.</p>
+ <p>Clarify --statistics output by explicitly mentioning that the status codes sent by the server may differ
+ from the ones in "debug 512" messages.</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>Log truncated LOG_LEVEL_CLF messages more gracefully and note that the statistics will be imprecise.</p>
+ <p>Fix typo in the --statistics output.</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>Fixed perldoc typo.</p>
+ <p>Remove an unused variable.</p>
</li>

</li>
</ul>
</li>
<p>Privoxy-Regression-Test:</p>
<ul>
<li>
- <p>Use http://127.0.0.1:8118/ as default Privoxy address unless http_proxy is set through the
- environment.</p>
- </li>
- <li>
- <p>Add a --privoxy-cgi-prefix option that specifies the prefix to use when building URLs that are supposed
- to reach Privoxy's CGI interface. If it's not set, http://p.p/ is used, which is supposed to work with the
- default Privoxy configuration. If Privoxy has been built with FEATURE_HTTPS_INSPECTION enabled, and if
- https inspection is activated with the +https-inspection action, this option can be used with
- "https://p.p/" provided the system running Privoxy-Regression-Test has been configured to trust the
- certificate used by Privoxy. Note that there are currently two tests in the official
- regression-tests.action file that are expected to fail when using "https://p.p/" as privoxy-cgi-prefix.</p>
- </li>
- <li>
- <p>Skip the connection-established response in get_status_code() when looking for the status code with a
- CGI prefix that starts with https://. We care about the status code sent by the impersonated web
- server.</p>
+ <p>Remove duplicated word in a comment.</p>
</li>
+ </ul>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>regression-tests.action:</p>
+ <ul>
<li>
- <p>Use --proxy-header when using a CGI prefix with https:// and a "Host:" header.</p>
+ <p>Add fetch test for http://p.p/wpad.dat.</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>Allow '|' in tokens and values to allow tag patterns like
- "TAG:^(application|text)/(x-)?javascript$".</p>
+ <p>Bump for-privoxy-version to 3.0.33 which introduced the wpad.dat support.</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>When get_cgi_page_or_else() fails, include the URL of the requested page in the log message.</p>
+ <p>Add more tests for the '/send-banner' code.</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>Added a --check-bad-ssl option that can be used to verify that Privoxy detects certificate problems when
- accessing the test sites from badssl.com.</p>
+ <p>Add test for OVE-20210203-0001.</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>Bumped version to 0.7.2</p>
+ <p>Add a test for CVE-2021-20217.</p>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
<p>uagen:</p>
<ul>
<li>
- <p>Update example output.</p>
- </li>
- <li>
- <p>Recommend the use of the https-inspection action in the documentation.</p>
+ <p>Bump generated Firefox version to 91 (ESR).</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>Upgrade a couple of URLs to https://.</p>
+ <p>Bump version to 1.2.3.</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>Add ElectroBSD to the list of operating systems.</p>
- </li>
- <li>
- <p>Bumped generated Firefox version to 78 (ESR).</p>
- </li>
- <li>
- <p>Bumped version to 1.2.2.</p>
+ <p>Bump copyright.</p>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>
- <p>User documentation:</p>
+ <p>Build system:</p>
<ul>
<li>
- <p>Remove reference to 'How to Report Bugs Effectively'. It was only rendered as text without URL in the
- README anyway and there's no indication that users read it ...</p>
- </li>
- <li>
- <p>Let the dok-readme target fix the location embedded into the README file. This used to be done by CVS
- but since the git migration it has to be done through other means.</p>
- </li>
- <li>
- <p>Remove 'experimental' warning for client-specific-tag-related directives. They seem to work reliably and
- there is no obvious reason why we would change the syntax in the near future.</p>
- </li>
- <li>
- <p>Describe how to check if Privoxy has been built with FEATURE_HTTPS_INSPECTION.</p>
- </li>
- <li>
- <p>Add a link to the trusted-cas-file documentation that explains how the user can create the file
- herself.</p>
- </li>
- <li>
- <p>Don't explicitly mention the license for the code coming from 'Anonymous Coders' and Junkbusters. It's
- obviously licensed under the GNU GPL like the rest of Privoxy or we wouldn't be allowed to distribute
- it.</p>
- </li>
- <li>
- <p>Update the +hide-user-agent example with uagen output.</p>
- </li>
- <li>
- <p>Slightly improve the wording of the ca-key-file documentation.</p>

- </li>
- <li>
- <p>Import a bunch of contributors from the ChangeLog.</p>
- </li>
- <li>
- <p>Remove obsolete doc/gpl.html.</p>
- </li>
- <li>
- <p>Upgrade a couple of links to https://.</p>
- </li>
- <li>
- <p>Don't prefer the SourceForge patch tracker over the privoxy-devel mailing list. While at it, link to the
- SourceForge patch tracker.</p>
- </li>
- <li>
- <p>Mention http-inspection in the 'my browser warns me about unauthenticated content' FAQ entry.</p>
- </li>
- <li>
- <p>Simplify the 'Is there is a license or fee?' FAQ entry.</p>
- </li>
- <li>
- <p>Add another +redirect{} example.</p>
- </li>
- <li>
- <p>Explicitly mention that interested sponsors should include the link target in their first mail.</p>
- </li>
- <li>
- <p>Clarify that only Privoxy team members can object to new sponsors and link to the list of current team
- members.</p>
- </li>
- <li>
- <p>Note that sponsor URLs may not contain keyword spam.</p>
+ <p>configure: Bump SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH.</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>Garbage collect doc/webserver/images which isn't referenced anymore.</p>
+ <p>GNUmakefile.in: Fix typo.</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>Update the method to reach the proxy settings in Firefox.</p>
+ <p>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.</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>Update proxy_setup.jpg description to refer to Firefox.</p>
+ <p>Add configure option to enable MemorySanitizer.</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>Regenerate proxy_setup.jpg with a more recent Firefox (78.0).</p>
+ <p>Add configure option to enable UndefinedBehaviorSanitizer.</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>Regenerate files-in-use.jpg without obsolete standard.action with modern colors and a slightly better
- quality.</p>
+ <p>Add configure option to enable AddressSanitizer.</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>Update URL to the actionsfile tracker.</p>
+ <p>Bump copyright.</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>Update a support request URL.</p>
+ <p>Add a configure option to disable pcre JIT compilation. While JIT compilation makes filtering faster it
+ can cause false-positive valgrind complaints. As reported by Gwyn Ciesla in SF bug 924 it also can cause
+ problems when the SELinux policy does not grant Privoxy "execmem" privileges.</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>Rephrase the 'Can Privoxy run as service' FAQ entry and remove an obsolete paragraph.</p>
- </li>
- <li>
- <p>Let the 'Where can I get updated Actions Files?' entry link to the gitweb version of
- default.action.master.</p>
- </li>
- <li>
- <p>Update a link to the default.action file.</p>
- </li>
