I reset this to a very small value during testing, because my real
.Xauthority file is not absurdly enormous, so this was the easiest way
to check the algorithm that periodically moves everything up the
buffer.
Then that test found and fixed a bug, and of course my temporary test
value of MAX_RECORD_SIZE got swept up in the 'git commit -a --amend',
and pushed with the rest of the refactoring, and I didn't notice until
today.
Another set of localised decoding routines get thrown away here. Also,
I've changed the APIs of a couple of helper functions in x11fwd.c to
take ptrlens in place of zero-terminated C strings, because that's the
format in which they come back from the decode, and it saves mallocing
a zero-terminated version of each one just to pass to those helpers.
In the course of reworking the socket vtable system, I noticed that
both sshshare.c and x11fwd.c independently invented the idea of a Plug
none of whose methods do anything. We don't need more than one of
those, so let's centralise the idea to somewhere it can be easily
reused.
Now I've got FROMFIELD, I can rework it so that structures providing
an implementation of the Socket or Plug trait no longer have to have
the vtable pointer as the very first thing in the structure. In
particular, this means that the ProxySocket structure can now directly
implement _both_ the Socket and Plug traits, which is always
_logically_ how it's worked, but previously it had to be implemented
via two separate structs linked to each other.
This is a cleanup I started to notice a need for during the BinarySink
work. It removes a lot of faffing about casting things to char * or
unsigned char * so that some API will accept them, even though lots of
such APIs really take a plain 'block of raw binary data' argument and
don't care what C thinks the signedness of that data might be - they
may well reinterpret it back and forth internally.
So I've tried to arrange for all the function call APIs that ought to
have a void * (or const void *) to have one, and those that need to do
pointer arithmetic on the parameter internally can cast it back at the
top of the function. That saves endless ad-hoc casts at the call
sites.
These are benign, I think. clang warns about casting non-pointer-sized
integers to pointers, but the Windows API actually does sometimes
involve values that are either pointers or _small_ integers, so in the
two cases involved I just cast through ULONG_PTR to silence the
warning. And clang insists that the integer whose address I give to
sk_getxdmdata is still uninitialised afterwards, which is just a lie.
We've always had the back-end code unconditionally print 'Looking up
host' before calling name_lookup. But name_lookup doesn't always do an
actual lookup - in cases where the connection will be proxied and
we're configured to let the proxy do the DNS for us, it just calls
sk_nonamelookup to return a dummy SockAddr with the unresolved name
still in it. It's better to print a message that varies depending on
whether we're _really_ doing DNS or not, e.g. so that people can tell
the difference between DNS failure and proxy misconfiguration.
Hence, those log messages are now generated inside name_lookup(),
which takes a couple of extra parameters for the purpose - a frontend
pointer to pass to logevent(), and a reason string so that it can say
what the hostname it's (optionally) looking up is going to be used
for. (The latter is intended for possible use in logging subsidiary
lookups for port forwarding, though the moment I haven't changed
the current setup where those connection setups aren't logged in
detail - we just pass NULL in that situation.)
The validation end of XDM-AUTHORIZATION-1 needs to check that two
time_t values differ by at most XDM_MAXSKEW, which it was doing by
subtracting them and passing the result to abs(). This provoked a
warning from OS X's clang, on the reasonable enough basis that the
value passed to abs was unsigned.
Fixed by using the (well defined) unsigned arithmetic wraparound: to
check that the mathematical difference of two unsigned numbers is in
the interval [-k,+k], compute their difference _plus k_ as an
unsigned, and check the result is in the interval [0,2k] by doing an
unsigned comparison against 2k.
Having found a lot of unfixed constness issues in recent development,
I thought perhaps it was time to get proactive, so I compiled the
whole codebase with -Wwrite-strings. That turned up a huge load of
const problems, which I've fixed in this commit: the Unix build now
goes cleanly through with -Wwrite-strings, and the Windows build is as
close as I could get it (there are some lingering issues due to
occasional Windows API functions like AcquireCredentialsHandle not
having the right constness).
Notable fallout beyond the purely mechanical changing of types:
- the stuff saved by cmdline_save_param() is now explicitly
dupstr()ed, and freed in cmdline_run_saved.
- I couldn't make both string arguments to cmdline_process_param()
const, because it intentionally writes to one of them in the case
where it's the argument to -pw (in the vain hope of being at least
slightly friendly to 'ps'), so elsewhere I had to temporarily
dupstr() something for the sake of passing it to that function
- I had to invent a silly parallel version of const_cmp() so I could
pass const string literals in to lookup functions.
- stripslashes() in pscp.c and psftp.c has the annoying strchr nature
I've gone through everywhere we handle host names / addresses (on
command lines, in PuTTY config, in port forwarding, in X display
names, in host key storage...) and tried to make them handle IPv6
literals sensibly, by using the host_str* functions I introduced in my
previous commit. Generally it's now OK to use a bracketed IPv6 literal
anywhere a hostname might have been valid; in a few cases where no
ambiguity exists (e.g. no :port suffix is permitted anyway)
unbracketed IPv6 literals are also acceptable.

The basic strategy is described at the top of the new source file
sshshare.c. In very brief: an 'upstream' PuTTY opens a Unix-domain
socket or Windows named pipe, and listens for connections from other
PuTTYs wanting to run sessions on the same server. The protocol spoken
down that socket/pipe is essentially the bare ssh-connection protocol,
using a trivial binary packet protocol with no encryption, and the
upstream has to do some fiddly transformations that I've been
referring to as 'channel-number NAT' to avoid resource clashes between
the sessions it's managing.
This is quite different from OpenSSH's approach of using the Unix-
domain socket as a means of passing file descriptors around; the main
reason for that is that fd-passing is Unix-specific but this system
has to work on Windows too. However, there are additional advantages,
such as making it easy for each downstream PuTTY to run its own
independent set of port and X11 forwardings (though the method for
making the latter work is quite painful).
Sharing is off by default, but configuration is intended to be very
easy in the normal case - just tick one box in the SSH config panel
and everything else happens automatically.
[originally from svn r10083]
Now that it doesn't actually make a network connection because that's
deferred until after the X authorisation exchange, there's no point in
having it return an error message and write the real output through a
pointer argument. Instead, we can just have it return xconn directly
and simplify the call sites.
[originally from svn r10081]
I've moved it out into a separate function, preparatory to calling it
from somewhere completely different in changes to come. Also, we now
retain the peer address sent from the SSH server in string form,
rather than translating it immediately into a numeric IP address, so
that its original form will be available later to pass on elsewhere.
[originally from svn r10080]
Rather than the top-level component of X forwarding being an
X11Display structure which owns some auth data, it's now a collection
of X11FakeAuth structures, each of which owns a display. The idea is
that when we receive an X connection, we wait to see which of our
available auth cookies it matches, and then connect to whatever X
display that auth cookie identifies. At present the tree will only
have one thing in it; this is all groundwork for later changes.
[originally from svn r10079]
Now we wait to open the socket to the X server until we've seen the
authorisation data. This prepares us to do something else with the
channel if we see different auth data, which will come up in
connection sharing.
[originally from svn r10078]
The most important change is that, where previously ssh.c held the
Socket pointer for each X11 and port forwarding, and the support
modules would find their internal state structure by calling
sk_get_private_ptr on that Socket, it's now the other way round. ssh.c
now directly holds the internal state structure pointer for each
forwarding, and when the support module needs the Socket it looks it
up in a field of that. This will come in handy when I decouple socket
creation from logical forwarding setup, so that X forwardings can
delay actually opening a connection to an X server until they look at
the authentication data and see which server it has to be.
However, while I'm here, I've also taken the opportunity to clean up a
few other points, notably error message handling, and also the fact
that the same kind of state structure was used for both
connection-type and listening-type port forwardings. Now there are
separate PortForwarding and PortListener structure types, which seems
far more sensible.
[originally from svn r10074]
The mechanism for constructing a new connection-type Socket when a
listening one receives an incoming connection previously worked by
passing a platform-specific 'OSSocket' type to the plug_accepting
function, which would then call sk_register to wrap it with a proper
Socket instance. This is less flexible than ideal, because it presumes
that only one kind of OS object might ever need to be turned into a
Socket. So I've replaced OSSocket throughout the code base with a pair
of parameters consisting of a function pointer and a context such that
passing the latter to the former returns the appropriate Socket; this
will permit different classes of listening Socket to pass different
function pointers.
In deference to the reality that OSSockets tend to be small integers
or pointer-sized OS handles, I've made the context parameter an
int/pointer union that can hold either of those directly, rather than
the usual approach of making it a plain 'void *' and requiring a
context structure to be dynamically allocated every time.

won't helpfully optimise the call away if you do it just before

data channels. Should comprehensively fix 'half-closed', in principle,
though it's a big and complicated change and so there's a good chance
I've made at least one mistake somewhere.
All connections should now be rigorous about propagating end-of-file
(or end-of-data-stream, or socket shutdown, or whatever) independently
in both directions, except in frontends with no mechanism for sending
explicit EOF (e.g. interactive terminal windows) or backends which are
basically always used for interactive sessions so it's unlikely that
an application would be depending on independent EOF (telnet, rlogin).
EOF should now never accidentally be sent while there's still buffered
data to go out before it. (May help fix 'portfwd-corrupt', and also I
noticed recently that the ssh main session channel can accidentally
have MSG_EOF sent before the output bufchain is clear, leading to
embarrassment when it subsequently does send the output).
[originally from svn r9279]
'Config' in putty.h, which stores all PuTTY's settings and includes an
arbitrary length limit on every single one of those settings which is
stored in string form. In place of it is 'Conf', an opaque data type
everywhere outside the new file conf.c, which stores a list of (key,
value) pairs in which every key contains an integer identifying a
configuration setting, and for some of those integers the key also
contains extra parts (so that, for instance, CONF_environmt is a
string-to-string mapping). Everywhere that a Config was previously
used, a Conf is now; everywhere there was a Config structure copy,
conf_copy() is called; every lookup, adjustment, load and save
operation on a Config has been rewritten; and there's a mechanism for
serialising a Conf into a binary blob and back for use with Duplicate
Session.
User-visible effects of this change _should_ be minimal, though I
don't doubt I've introduced one or two bugs here and there which will
eventually be found. The _intended_ visible effects of this change are
that all arbitrary limits on configuration strings and lists (e.g.
limit on number of port forwardings) should now disappear; that list
boxes in the configuration will now be displayed in a sorted order
rather than the arbitrary order in which they were added to the list
(since the underlying data structure is now a sorted tree234 rather
than an ad-hoc comma-separated string); and one more specific change,
which is that local and dynamic port forwardings on the same port
number are now mutually exclusive in the configuration (putting 'D' in
the key rather than the value was a mistake in the first place).
One other reorganisation as a result of this is that I've moved all
the dialog.c standard handlers (dlg_stdeditbox_handler and friends)
out into config.c, because I can't really justify calling them generic
any more. When they took a pointer to an arbitrary structure type and
the offset of a field within that structure, they were independent of
whether that structure was a Config or something completely different,
but now they really do expect to talk to a Conf, which can _only_ be
used for PuTTY configuration, so I've renamed them all things like
conf_editbox_handler and moved them out of the nominally independent
dialog-box management module into the PuTTY-specific config.c.

name the proxy using the global 'appname' variable, instead of
statically calling it PuTTY.
(Knock-on effect is that PSCP and PSFTP have to declare that
variable, though of course they shouldn't ever actually _use_ the X

nox11fwd.c for those applications.)

to a Unix-domain socket. This typically works fine when PuTTY is run on the
same machine as the X server, but it's broken multi-hop X forwarding through
OpenSSH; when OpenSSH creates a proxy X server "localhost:10", it only listens
on TCP, not on a Unix-domain socket.
Instead, when deciding on the details of the display, we actively probe to see
if there's a Unix-domain socket we can use instead, and only use it if it's
there, falling back to the specified IP "localhost" if not.
Independently, when looking for local auth details in Xauthority for a
"localhost" TCP display, we prefer a matching Unix-domain entry, but will fall
back to an IP "localhost" entry (which would be unusual, but we don't trust a
Windows X server not to do it) -- this is a generalisation of the special case
added in r2538 (but removed in r8305, as the automatic upgrade masked the need
for it).
(This is now done in platform-independent code, so a side-effect is that
get_hostname() is now part of the networking abstraction on all platforms.)

strings more rigorously, and then we look up the local X authority
data in .Xauthority _ourself_ rather than delegating to an external
xauth program. This is (negligibly) more efficient on Unix, assuming
I haven't got it wrong in some subtle way, but its major benefit is
that we can now support X authority lookups on Windows as well
provided the user points us at an appropriate X authority file in
the standard format. A new Windows-specific config option has been
added for this purpose.

This better matches the spec, even if the current version always returns

* On Unix, for PF_UNIX sockets, return a counter rather than a constant along
with the PID. This should allow multiple clients to connect within one
second, and is what Xlib does.
* On Unix, interpret AF_INET6 addresses like Xlib does, returning the
embedded IPv4 address for v4-mapped addresses, and six bytes of zeroes
otherwise. The latter is silly, but if I'm going to do anything more sane
I need to check that X servers won't reject it.

sk_new() on invocation; these functions become responsible for (eventually)
freeing it. The caller must not do anything with 'addr' after it's been passed
in. (Ick.)
Why:
A SOCKS5 crash appears to have been caused by overzealous freeing of
a SockAddr (ssh.c:1.257 [r2492]), which for proxied connections is
squirreled away long-term (and this can't easily be avoided).
It would have been nice to make a copy of the SockAddr, in case the caller has
a use for it, but one of the implementations (uxnet.c) hides a "struct
addrinfo" in there, and we have no defined way to duplicate those. (None of the
current callers _do_ have a further use for the SockAddr.)
As far as I can tell, everything _except_ proxying only needs addr for the
duration of the call, so sk_addr_free()s immediately. If I'm mistaken, it
should at least be easier to find the offending free()...
