+ Changes in Privoxy 3.0.33 stable:

+
- Security/Reliability:
+ Bug fixes:
- ssplit(): Remove an assertion that could be triggered with a
- crafted CGI request.
- Commit 2256d7b4d67. OVE-20210203-0001.
- Reported by: Joshua Rogers (Opera)
+ 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.
- cgi_send_banner(): Overrule invalid image types. Prevents a
- crash with a crafted CGI request if Privoxy is toggled off.
- Commit e711c505c48. OVE-20210206-0001.
- Reported by: Joshua Rogers (Opera)
+ 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.
- socks5_connect(): Don't try to send credentials when none are
- configured. Fixes a crash due to a NULL-pointer dereference
- when the socks server misbehaves.
- Commit 85817cc55b9. OVE-20210207-0001.
- Reported by: Joshua Rogers (Opera)
+ 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.
- chunked_body_is_complete(): Prevent an invalid read of size two.
- Commit a912ba7bc9c. OVE-20210205-0001.
- Reported by: Joshua Rogers (Opera)
+ 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.
- Obsolete pcre: Prevent invalid memory accesses with an invalid
- pattern passed to pcre_compile(). Note that the obsolete pcre code
- is scheduled to be removed before the 3.0.33 release. There has been
- a warning since 2008 already.
- Commit 28512e5b624. OVE-20210222-0001.
- Reported by: Joshua Rogers (Opera)
+ 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.

- Bug fixes:
+ General improvements:
- 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)
+ 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

+
+
+ 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.
+
+
+
+
+ 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.
+
+
+
+
+ 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.
+
+
+
+
+ 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.
+
+
+
+
+ read_http_request_body(): Fix two error messages that used an incorrect variable.
+
+
+
+
+ chat(): Log the applied actions before deciding how to forward the request.
- decompress_iob(): Prevent reading of uninitialized data.
- Reported by: Joshua Rogers (Opera).
+ parse_time_header(): Silence a coverity complaint when building without assertions.
- decompress_iob(): Don't advance cur past eod when looking
- for the end of the file name and comment.
+ receive_encrypted_request_headers(): Improve a log message
- 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)
+ 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.
- 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).
+ 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.
- 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)
+ 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.
- log_error(): Treat LOG_LEVEL_FATAL as fatal even when --stfu is
- being used while fuzzing.
- Reported by: Joshua Rogers (Opera).
+ 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
- Respect DESTDIR when considering whether or not to install
- config files with ".new" extension.
+ 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 ssl_store_cert(): Fix two error messages.
+ 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@.
- Fix a couple of format specifiers.
+ OpenSSL generate_host_certificate(): Fix two error messsages.
- Silence compiler warnings when compiling with NDEBUG.
+ Improve description of handle_established_connection()
- fuzz_server_header(): Fix compiler warning.
+ OpenSSL ssl_store_cert(): Translate EVP_PKEY_EC to a string.
- fuzz_client_header(): Fix compiler warning.
+ OpenSSL ssl_store_cert(): Remove pointless variable initialization.
- 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.
+ OpenSSL ssl_store_cert(): Initialize pointer with NULL instead of 0.
