->3. What's New in this Release</A
-></H1
-><P
-> <SPAN
-CLASS="APPLICATION"
->Privoxy 3.0.17</SPAN
-> is a stable release.
- The changes since 3.0.16 stable are:</P
-><P
-> <P
-></P
-><UL
-><LI
-><P
-> Fixed last-chunk-detection for responses where the content was small
- enough to be read with the body, causing Privoxy to wait for the
- end of the content until the server closed the connection.
- Reported by "Karsten" in #3028326.
- </P
-></LI
-><LI
-><P
-> Responses with status code 204 weren't properly detected as body-less
- like RFC2616 mandates. Like the previous bug, this caused Privoxy
- to wait for the end of the content until the server closed the connection.
- Fixes #3022042 and #3025553, reported by a user with no visible name.
- Most likely also fixes a bunch of other AJAX-related problem reports
- that got closed in the past due to insufficient information and lack
- of feedback.
- </P
-></LI
-><LI
-><P
-> Fixed an ACL bug that made it impossible to build a blacklist.
- Usually the ACL directives are used in a whitelist, which worked
- as expected, but blacklisting is still useful for public proxies
- where one only needs to deny known abusers access.
- </P
-></LI
-><LI
-><P
-> Added LOG_LEVEL_RECEIVED to log the not-yet-parsed data read from the
- network. This should make debugging various parsing issues a lot easier.
- </P
-></LI
-><LI
-><P
-> The IPv6 code is enabled by default on Windows versions that support it.
- Patch submitted by oCameLo in #2942729.
- </P
-></LI
-><LI
-><P
-> In mingw32 versions, the user.filter file is reachable through the
- GUI, just like default.filter is. Feature request 3040263.
- </P
-></LI
-><LI
-><P
-> Added the configure option --enable-large-file-support to set a few
- defines that are required by platforms like GNU/Linux to support files
- larger then 2GB. Mainly interesting for users without proper logfile
- management.
- </P
-></LI
-><LI
-><P
-> Logging with "debug 16" no longer stops at the first nul byte which is
- pretty useless. Non-printable characters are replaced with their hex value
- so the result can't span multiple lines making parsing them harder then
- necessary.
- </P
-></LI
-><LI
-><P
-> Privoxy logs when reading an action, filter or trust file.
- </P
-></LI
-><LI
-><P
-> Fixed incorrect regression test markup which caused a test in
- 3.0.16 to fail while Privoxy itself was working correctly.
- While Privoxy accepts hide-referer, too, the action name is actually
- hide-referrer which is also the name used one the final results page,
- where the test expected the alias.
- </P
-></LI
-><LI
-><P
-> CGI interface improvements:
- <P
-></P
-><UL
-><LI
-><P
-> In finish_http_response(), continue to add the 'Connection: close'
- header if the client connection will not be kept alive.
- Anonymously pointed out in #2987454.
- </P
-></LI
-><LI
-><P
-> Apostrophes in block messages no longer cause parse errors
- when the blocked page is viewed with JavaScript enabled.
- Reported by dg1727 in #3062296.
- </P
-></LI
-><LI
-><P
-> Fix a bunch of anchors that used underscores instead of dashes.
- </P
-></LI
-><LI
-><P
-> Allow to keep the client connection alive after crunching the previous request.
- Already opened server connections can be kept alive, too.
- </P
-></LI
-><LI
-><P
-> In cgi_show_url_info(), don't forget to prefix URLs that only contain http:// or https:// in the path.
- Fixes #2975765 reported by Adam Piggott.
- </P
-></LI
-><LI
-><P
-> Show the 404 CGI page if cgi_send_user_manual() is called while
- local user manual delivery is disabled.
- </P

-></UL
->
- </P
-></LI
-><LI
-><P

- fast-redirects exception as discussed on ijbswa-devel@.
- </P

- </P
-></LI
-><LI
-><P
-> Tag CSS and image requests with cautious and medium settings, too.
- </P
-></LI
-><LI
-><P
-> Don't handle view.atdmt.com as image. It's used for click-throughs
- so users should be able to "go there anyway".
- Reported by Adam Piggott in #2975927.
- </P
-></LI
-><LI
-><P
-> Also let the refresh-tags filter remove invalid refresh tags where
- the 'url=' part is missing. Anonymously reported in #2986382.
- While at it, update the description to mention the fact that only
- refresh tags with refresh times above 9 seconds are covered.
- </P
-></LI
-><LI
-><P
-> javascript needs to be blocked with +handle-as-empty-document to
- work around Firefox bug 492459. So move .js blockers from
- +block{Might be a web-bug.} -handle-as-empty-document
- to
- +block{Might be a web-bug.} +handle-as-empty-document
- </P

- </P
-></LI
-><LI
-><P
-> Added two sections to get Flickr's Ajax interface working with
- default pre-settings. If you change the configuration to block
- cookies by default, you'll need additional exceptions.

+
+ <p><span class="APPLICATION">Privoxy 3.0.24</span> stable contains a
+ couple of new features but is mainly a bug-fix release. Two of the fixed
+ bugs are security issues and may be used to remotely trigger crashes on
+ platforms that carefully check memory accesses (most don't).</p>
+
+ <ul>
+ <li>
+ <p>Security fixes (denial of service):</p>
+
+ <ul>
+ <li>
+ <p>Prevent invalid reads in case of corrupt chunk-encoded
+ content. CVE-2016-1982. Bug discovered with afl-fuzz and
+ AddressSanitizer.</p>
+ </li>
+
+ <li>
+ <p>Remove empty Host headers in client requests. Previously they
+ would result in invalid reads. CVE-2016-1983. Bug discovered with
+ afl-fuzz and AddressSanitizer.</p>
+ </li>
+ </ul>
+ </li>
+
+ <li>
+ <p>Bug fixes:</p>
+
+ <ul>
+ <li>
+ <p>When using socks5t, send the request body optimistically as
+ well. Previously the request body wasn't guaranteed to be sent at
+ all and the error message incorrectly blamed the server. Fixes
+ #1686 reported by Peter Müller and G4JC.</p>
+ </li>
+
+ <li>
+ <p>Fixed buffer scaling in execute_external_filter() that could
+ lead to crashes. Submitted by Yang Xia in #892.</p>
+ </li>
+
+ <li>
+ <p>Fixed crashes when executing external filters on platforms
+ like Mac OS X. Reported by Jonathan McKenzie on
+ ijbswa-users@.</p>
+ </li>
+
+ <li>
+ <p>Properly parse ACL directives with ports when compiled with
+ HAVE_RFC2553. Previously the port wasn't removed from the host
+ and in case of 'permit-access 127.0.0.1 example.org:80' Privoxy
+ would try (and fail) to resolve "example.org:80" instead of
+ example.org. Reported by Pak Chan on ijbswa-users@.</p>
+ </li>
+
+ <li>
+ <p>Check requests more carefully before serving them forcefully
+ when blocks aren't enforced. Privoxy always adds the force token
+ at the beginning of the path, but would previously accept it
+ anywhere in the request line. This could result in requests being
+ served that should be blocked. For example in case of pages that
+ were loaded with force and contained JavaScript to create
+ additionally requests that embed the origin URL (thus inheriting
+ the force prefix). The bug is not considered a security issue and
+ the fix does not make it harder for remote sites to intentionally
+ circumvent blocks if Privoxy isn't configured to enforce them.
+ Fixes #1695 reported by Korda.</p>
+ </li>
+
+ <li>
+ <p>Normalize the request line in intercepted requests to make
+ rewriting the destination more convenient. Previously rewrites
+ for intercepted requests were expected to fail unless $hostport
+ was being used, but they failed "the wrong way" and would result
+ in an out-of-memory message (vanilla host patterns) or a crash
+ (extended host patterns). Reported by "Guybrush Threepwood" in
+ #1694.</p>
+ </li>
+
+ <li>
+ <p>Enable socket lingering for the correct socket. Previously it
+ was repeatedly enabled for the listen socket instead of for the
+ accepted socket. The bug was found by code inspection and did not
+ cause any (reported) issues.</p>
+ </li>
+
+ <li>
+ <p>Detect and reject parameters for parameter-less actions.
+ Previously they were silently ignored.</p>
+ </li>
+
+ <li>
+ <p>Fixed invalid reads in internal and outdated pcre code. Found
+ with afl-fuzz and AddressSanitizer.</p>
+ </li>
+
+ <li>
+ <p>Prevent invalid read when loading invalid action files. Found
+ with afl-fuzz and AddressSanitizer.</p>
+ </li>
+
+ <li>
+ <p>Windows build: Use the correct function to close the event
+ handle. It's unclear if this bug had a negative impact on
+ Privoxy's behaviour. Reported by Jarry Xu in #891.</p>
+ </li>
+
+ <li>
+ <p>In case of invalid forward-socks5(t) directives, use the
+ correct directive name in the error messages. Previously they
+ referred to forward-socks4t failures. Reported by Joel Verhagen
+ in #889.</p>
+ </li>
+ </ul>
+ </li>
+
+ <li>
+ <p>General improvements:</p>
+
+ <ul>
+ <li>
+ <p>Set NO_DELAY flag for the accepting socket. This significantly
+ reduces the latency if the operating system is not configured to
+ set the flag by default. Reported by Johan Sintorn in #894.</p>
+ </li>
+
+ <li>
+ <p>Allow to build with mingw x86_64. Submitted by Rustam
+ Abdullaev in #135.</p>
+ </li>
+
+ <li>
+ <p>Introduce the new forwarding type 'forward-webserver'.
+ Currently it is only supported by the forward-override{} action
+ and there's no config directive with the same name. The
+ forwarding type is similar to 'forward', but the request line
+ only contains the path instead of the complete URL.</p>
+ </li>
+
+ <li>
+ <p>The CGI editor no longer treats 'standard.action' special.
+ Nowadays the official "standards" are part of default.action and
+ there's no obvious reason to disallow editing them through the
+ cgi editor anyway (if the user decided that the lack of
+ authentication isn't an issue in her environment).</p>
+ </li>
+
+ <li>
+ <p>Improved error messages when rejecting intercepted requests
+ with unknown destination.</p>
+ </li>
+
+ <li>
+ <p>A couple of log messages now include the number of active
+ threads.</p>
+ </li>
+
+ <li>
+ <p>Removed non-standard Proxy-Agent headers in HTTP snipplets to
+ make testing more convenient.</p>
+ </li>
+
+ <li>
+ <p>Include the error code for pcre errors Privoxy does not
+ recognize.</p>
+ </li>
+
+ <li>
+ <p>Config directives with numerical arguments are checked more
+ carefully.</p>
+ </li>
+
+ <li>
+ <p>Privoxy's malloc() wrapper has been changed to prevent
+ zero-size allocations which should only occur as the result of
+ bugs.</p>
+ </li>
+
+ <li>
+ <p>Various cosmetic changes.</p>
+ </li>
+ </ul>
+ </li>
+
+ <li>
+ <p>Action file improvements:</p>
+
+ <ul>
+ <li>
+ <p>Unblock ".deutschlandradiokultur.de/". Reported by u302320 in
+ #924.</p>
+ </li>
+
+ <li>
+ <p>Add two fast-redirect exceptions for "yandex.ru".</p>
+ </li>
+
+ <li>
+ <p>Disable filter{banners-by-size} for ".plasmaservice.de/".</p>
+ </li>
+
+ <li>
+ <p>Unblock "klikki.fi/adv/".</p>
+ </li>
+
+ <li>
+ <p>Block requests for "resources.infolinks.com/". Reported by
+ "Black Rider" on ijbswa-users@.</p>
+ </li>
+
+ <li>
+ <p>Block a bunch of criteo domains. Reported by Black Rider.</p>
+ </li>
+
+ <li>
+ <p>Block "abs.proxistore.com/abe/". Reported by Black Rider.</p>
+ </li>
+
+ <li>
+ <p>Disable filter{banners-by-size} for

+
+ <li>
+ <p>Disable fast-redirects for "disqus.com/".</p>
+ </li>
+ </ul>
+ </li>
+
+ <li>
+ <p>Documentation improvements:</p>
+
+ <ul>
+ <li>
+ <p>FAQ: Explicitly point fingers at ASUS as an example of a
+ company that has been reported to force malware based on Privoxy
+ upon its customers.</p>
+ </li>
+
+ <li>
+ <p>Correctly document the action type for a bunch of
+ "multi-value" actions that were incorrectly documented to be
+ "parameterized". Reported by Gregory Seidman on
+ ijbswa-users@.</p>
+ </li>
+
+ <li>
+ <p>Fixed the documented type of the forward-override{} action
+ which is obviously 'parameterized'.</p>
+ </li>
+ </ul>
+ </li>
+
+ <li>
+ <p>Website improvements:</p>
+
+ <ul>
+ <li>
+ <p>Users who don't trust binaries served by SourceForge can get
+ them from a mirror. Migrating away from SourceForge is planned
+ for 2016 (TODO list item #53).</p>
+ </li>
+
+ <li>
+ <p>The website is now available as onion service
+ (http://jvauzb4sb3bwlsnc.onion/).</p>

+ to Upgraders</a></h2>
+
+ <p>A quick list of things to be aware of before upgrading from earlier
+ versions of <span class="APPLICATION">Privoxy</span>:</p>
+
+ <ul>
+ <li>
+ <p>The recommended way to upgrade <span class=
+ "APPLICATION">Privoxy</span> is to backup your old configuration
+ files, install the new ones, verify that <span class=
+ "APPLICATION">Privoxy</span> is working correctly and finally merge
+ back your changes using <span class="APPLICATION">diff</span> and
+ maybe <span class="APPLICATION">patch</span>.</p>
+
+ <p>There are a number of new features in each <span class=
+ "APPLICATION">Privoxy</span> release and most of them have to be
+ explicitly enabled in the configuration files. Old configuration
+ files obviously don't do that and due to syntax changes using old
+ configuration files with a new <span class=
+ "APPLICATION">Privoxy</span> isn't always possible anyway.</p>
+ </li>
+
+ <li>
+ <p>Note that some installers remove earlier versions completely,
+ including configuration files, therefore you should really save any
+ important configuration files!</p>
+ </li>
+
+ <li>
+ <p>On the other hand, other installers don't overwrite existing
+ configuration files, thinking you will want to do that
+ yourself.</p>
+ </li>
+
+ <li>
+ <p>In the default configuration only fatal errors are logged now.
+ You can change that in the <a href="config.html#DEBUG">debug
+ section</a> of the configuration file. You may also want to enable
+ more verbose logging until you verified that the new <span class=
+ "APPLICATION">Privoxy</span> version is working as expected.</p>
+ </li>
+
+ <li>
+ <p>Three other config file settings are now off by default:
+ <a href="config.html#ENABLE-REMOTE-TOGGLE">enable-remote-toggle</a>,
+ <a href=
+ "config.html#ENABLE-REMOTE-HTTP-TOGGLE">enable-remote-http-toggle</a>,
+ and <a href=
+ "config.html#ENABLE-EDIT-ACTIONS">enable-edit-actions</a>. If you
+ use or want these, you will need to explicitly enable them, and be
+ aware of the security issues involved.</p>
