OVE-20211102-0001. CVE-2021-44543. + Reported by: Artem Ivanov + - 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. + - 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. + - 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. + +- Bug fixes: + - 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. + - 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. + - 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. + - 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. + +- General improvements: + - 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 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. + - 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. + - 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@. + - 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. + - 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. + - 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. + - 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. + - handle_established_connection(): Slightly improve a comment. + - handle_established_connection(): Fix a comment. + - socks5_connect(): Fix indentation. + - handle_established_connection(): Improve an error message. + - create_pattern_spec(): Fix ifdef indentation. + - Fix comment typos. + - 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. + - chat(): Log the applied actions before deciding how to forward the request. + - parse_time_header(): Silence a coverity complaint when building without assertions. + - receive_encrypted_request_headers(): Improve a log message. + - 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. + - 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 + - OpenSSL generate_host_certificate(): Fix two error messsages. + - 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. + +- Action file improvements: + - Disable fast-redirects for .microsoftonline.com/. + - Disable fast-redirects for idp.springer.com/. + - Disable fast-redirects for .zeit.de/zustimmung. + - Unblock adv-archiv.dfn-cert.de/. + - Block requests to eu-tlp01.kameleoon.eu/. + - Block requests to fpa-events.arstechnica.com/. + - Unblock nlnet.nl/. + - Unblock adguard.com/. + +- Privoxy-Log-Parser: + - Highlight 'Socket timeout 3 reached: http://127.0.0.1:20000/no-filter/chunked-content/36'. + - Improve documentation for inactivity-detection mode. + - Detect date changes when looking for inactivity. + - Add a --passed-request-statistics-threshold option + that can be set to get statistics for requests that + were passed. + - Add a "inactivity detection" mode which can be useful + for debugging purposes. + - Bump version to 0.9.4. + - Only run print_intro() and print_outro() when syntax highlighting. + - Rephrase a sentence in the documentation. + - Highlight 'Client socket 7 is no longer usable.

CVE-2021-20276. + Reported by: Joshua Rogers (Opera) + +- Bug fixes: + - Properly parse the client-tag-lifetime directive. Previously it was + not accepted as an obsolete hash value was being used. + Reported by: Joshua Rogers (Opera) + - decompress_iob(): Prevent reading of uninitialized data. + Reported by: Joshua Rogers (Opera). + - decompress_iob(): Don't advance cur past eod when looking + for the end of the file name and comment. + - decompress_iob(): Cast value to unsigned char before shifting. + Prevents a left-shift of a negative value which is undefined behaviour. + Reported by: Joshua Rogers (Opera) + - gif_deanimate(): Confirm that that we have enough data before doing + any work. Fixes a crash when fuzzing with an empty document. + Reported by: Joshua Rogers (Opera). + - buf_copy(): Fail if there's no data to write or nothing to do. + Prevents undefined behaviour "applying zero offset to null pointer". + Reported by: Joshua Rogers (Opera) + - log_error(): Treat LOG_LEVEL_FATAL as fatal even when --stfu is + being used while fuzzing. + Reported by: Joshua Rogers (Opera). + - Respect DESTDIR when considering whether or not to install + config files with ".new" extension. + - OpenSSL ssl_store_cert(): Fix two error messages. + - Fix a couple of format specifiers. + - Silence compiler warnings when compiling with NDEBUG. + - fuzz_server_header(): Fix compiler warning. + - fuzz_client_header(): Fix compiler warning. + - cgi_send_user_manual(): Also reject requests if the user-manual + directive specifies a https:// URL. Previously Privoxy would try and + fail to open a local file. + +- General improvements: + - Log the TLS version and the the cipher when debug 2 is enabled. + - ssl_send_certificate_error(): Respect HEAD requests by not sending a body. + - ssl_send_certificate_error(): End the body with a single new line. + - serve(): Increase the chances that the host is logged when closing + a server socket. + - handle_established_connection(): Add parentheses to clarify an expression + Suggested by: David Binderman + - continue_https_chat(): Explicitly unset CSP_FLAG_CLIENT_CONNECTION_KEEP_ALIVE + if process_encrypted_request() fails. This makes it more obvious that the + connection will not be reused. Previously serve() relied on + CSP_FLAG_SERVER_CONTENT_LENGTH_SET and CSP_FLAG_CHUNKED being unset. + Inspired by a patch from Joshua Rogers (Opera). + - decompress_iob(): Add periods to a couple of log messages + - Terminate the body of the HTTP snipplets with a single new line + instead of "\r\n". + - configure: Add --with-assertions option and only enable assertions + when it is used + - windows build: Use --with-brotli and --with-mbedtls by default and + enable dynamic error checking. + - gif_deanimate(): Confirm we've got an image before trying to write it + Saves a pointless buf_copy() call. + - OpenSSL ssl_store_cert(): Remove a superfluous space before the serial number. + +- Action file improvements: + - Disable fast-redirects for .golem.de/ + - Unblock requests to adri*. + - Block requests for trc*.taboola.com/ + - Disable fast-redirects for .linkedin.com/ + +- Filter file improvements: + - Make the second pcrs job of the img-reorder filter greedy again. + The ungreedy version broke the img tags on: + https://bulk.fefe.de/scalability/. + +- Privoxy-Log-Parser: + - Highlight a few more messages. + - Clarify the --statistics output.

OVE-20210130-0001. CVE-2021-20217. + Reported by: Joshua Rogers (Opera) + - Fixed a memory leak when decompression fails "unexpectedly". + Commit f431d61740cc0. OVE-20210128-0001. CVE-2021-20216. + +- Bug fixes: + - Fixed detection of insufficient data for decompression. + Previously Privoxy could try to decompress a partly + uninitialized buffer. + +*** Version 3.0.30 stable *** + +- Bug fixes: + - 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. + - Let the hide-referrer code tolerate Referer headers with https:// URLs. + Previously they would always be treated like a changed host. + - 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. + - 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. + - Support using https-inspection and client-header-order at the same time. + Previously Privoxy would crash. + Reported by: Kai Raven + - 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. + - 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. + - Let the uninstall target remove the config file even if DESTDIR + is set and properly announce the deletion of the configuration files. + +- General improvements: + - 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. + - 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 + - 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 + - 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. + - Recycle debug bit 4 for Tagging-related messages. + - Improve the message shown when the client-tags CGI page + is requested with no tags configured. + - 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. + - 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. + - The code compiles with older C compilers again. + - The chdir() return code is checked to fix a compiler warning. + - 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. + - Fixed harmless compiler warnings from GCC9 with -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2. + - windows: Remove obsolete '$(DEST)/doc/images' target. + - windows: Install the images referenced in the user manual. + - Remove obsolete 'gnu_regex.@OBJEXT@' target. + - 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. + - Add new FEATURES to the show-status page and resort list. + - Remove unused variable in the OpenSSL-specific code. + - Update bug tracker URL in cgi_error_unknown(). + - Saved a couple of memory allocations when sorting client headers. + - Improved a couple of error messages. + - Saved memory allocations when using OpenSSL and checking if a + key already exists. + - The configure script will bail out if OpenSSL and mbedTLS are + enabled at the same time. + - Log a message right before exiting gracefully. + - A couple of structures have been rearranged to require slightly + less memory. + - When https inspection is enabled and the certificate is invalid + the error message is now sent with status code 403 instead of 200. + - The Slackware rc script template has been renamed to + slackware/rc.privoxy.in to silence complaints when building + Debian packages. + - 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. + +- Action file improvements: + - Block requests to eu-tlp03.kameleoon.com/. + - Unblock metrics.sr.ht/. + - Disable fast-redirects for .fsf.org/. + - Disable fast-redirects for .gravater.com/. + - Disable fast-redirects for .ksta.de/. + - Block requests to tag.crsspxl.com/. + - Block requests to analytics.slashdotmedia.com/. + - Block requests to ml314.com/. + - Block requests to .adroll.com/. + - Block requests to fastlane.rubiconproject.com/. + - Block requests to api.theadex.com/. + - Block requests to ih.adscale.de/. + - Block requests to .s400.meetrics.net/. + - Block requests for pp.lp4.io/. + - Block requests for trc-events.taboola.com/. + +- Filter file improvements: + - 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. + - Added an imdb filter. + - Added a sourceforge filter that reduces the amount of ads + for proprietary software. + - Added a github filter that removes the annoying "Sign-Up" + banner and the Cookie disclaimer. + - Removed a duplicated pcrs command from the js-annoyances filter. + - 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. + +- Privoxy-Log-Parser: + - Highlight a few more messages. + - Add a handler for tagging messages. + - Properly deal with 'Certificate error' crunches + Previously the error description was highlighted as 'host'. + - Log truncated LOG_LEVEL_CLF messages more gracefully + and note that the statistics will be imprecise. + - Fixed perldoc typo. + - Bump version to 0.9.2. + +- Privoxy-Regression-Test: + - Use http://127.0.0.1:8118/ as default Privoxy address + unless http_proxy is set through the environment. + - 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. + - 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. + - Use --proxy-header when using a CGI prefix with https:// + and a "Host:" header. + - Allow '|' in tokens and values to allow tag patterns like + "TAG:^(application|text)/(x-)?javascript$". + - When get_cgi_page_or_else() fails, include the URL of the + requested page in the log message. + - 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. + - Bumped version to 0.7.2 + +- uagen: + - Update example output. + - Recommend the use of the https-inspection action in the documentation. + - Upgrade a couple of URLs to https://. + - Add ElectroBSD to the list of operating systems. + - Bumped generated Firefox version to 78 (ESR). + - Bumped version to 1.2.2. + + - User documentation: + - 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 ... + - 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. + - 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. + - Describe how to check if Privoxy has been built with + FEATURE_HTTPS_INSPECTION. + - Add a link to the trusted-cas-file documentation + that explains how the user can create the file herself. + - 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. + - Update the +hide-user-agent example with uagen output. + - Slightly improve the wording of the ca-key-file documentation. + - Explicitly mention Windows 10 as supported so search engines and + users looking for it can find it. + - Import a bunch of contributors from the ChangeLog. + - Remove obsolete doc/gpl.html. + - Upgrade a couple of links to https://. + - Don't prefer the SourceForge patch tracker over the + privoxy-devel mailing list.

This was a scaling issue for multi-user setups. + Using poll() has no downside other than the usual risk + that code modifications may introduce new bugs that have + yet to be found and fixed. + At least in theory this commit could also reduce the latency + when there are lots of connections and select() would use + "bit fields in arrays of integers" to store file descriptors. + Another side effect is that Privoxy no longer has to stop + monitoring the client sockets when pipelined requests are + waiting but can't be read yet. + This code keeps the select()-based code behind ifdefs for + now but hopefully it can be removed soonish to make the + code more readable. + Sponsored by: Robert Klemme + - Add a 'reproducible-tarball-dist' target. + It's currently separate from the "tarball-dist" target + because it requires a tar implementation with mtree spec + support. + It's far from being perfect and does not enforce a + reproducible mode, but it's better than nothing. + - Use arc4random() if it's available. + While Privoxy doesn't need high quality pseudo-random numbers + there's no reason not to use them when we can and this silences + a warning emitted by code checkers that can't tell whether or not + the quality matters. + - Show the FEATURE_EXTERNAL_FILTERS status on the status page. + Better late than never.
