Detailed Description

Implements a local cache for DNS results for Tor servers. This is implemented as a wrapper around Adam Langley's eventdns.c code. (We can't just use gethostbyname() and friends because we really need to be nonblocking.)

There are three main cases when a Tor relay uses dns.c to launch a DNS request:

  1. To check whether the DNS server is working more or less correctly. This happens via dns_launch_correctness_checks(). The answer is reported in the return value from later calls to dns_seems_to_be_broken().
  2. When a client has asked the relay, in a RELAY_BEGIN cell, to connect to a given server by hostname. This happens via dns_resolve().
  3. When a client has asked the relay, in a RELAY_RESOLVE cell, to look up a given server's IP address(es) by hostname. This also happens via dns_resolve().

Each of these gets handled a little differently.

To check for correctness, we look up some hostname we expect to exist and have real entries, some hostnames which we expect to definitely not exist, and some hostnames that we expect to probably not exist. If too many of the hostnames that shouldn't exist do exist, that's a DNS hijacking attempt. If too many of the hostnames that should exist have the same addresses as the ones that shouldn't exist, that's a very bad DNS hijacking attempt, or a very naughty captive portal. And if the hostnames that should exist simply don't exist, we probably have a broken nameserver.

To handle client requests, we first check our cache for answers. If there isn't something up-to-date, we've got to launch A or AAAA requests as appropriate. How we handle responses to those in particular is a bit complex; see dns_lookup() and set_exitconn_info_from_resolve().

When a lookup is finally complete, the inform_pending_connections() function will tell all of the streams that have been waiting for the resolve, by calling connection_exit_connect() if the client sent a RELAY_BEGIN cell, and by calling send_resolved_cell() or send_hostname_cell() if the client sent a RELAY_RESOLVE cell.

◆ dns_resolve()

int dns_resolve ( edge_connection_t exitconn)

See if we have a cache entry for exitconn->address. If so, if resolve valid, put it into exitconn->addr and return 1. If resolve failed, free exitconn and return -1.

(For EXIT_PURPOSE_RESOLVE connections, send back a RESOLVED error cell on returning -1. For EXIT_PURPOSE_CONNECT connections, there's no need to send back an END cell, since connection_exit_begin_conn will do that for us.)

If we have a cached answer, send the answer back along exitconn's circuit.

Else, if seen before and pending, add conn to the pending list, and return 0.

Else, if not seen before, add conn to pending list, hand to dns farm, and return 0.

Exitconn's on_circuit field must be set, but exitconn should not yet be linked onto the n_streams/resolving_streams list of that circuit. On success, link the connection to n_streams if it's an exit connection. On "pending", link the connection to resolving streams. Otherwise, clear its on_circuit field.

Definition at line 632 of file dns.c.

◆ dns_resolve_impl()

int  is_resolve,
or_circuit_t oncirc,
char **  hostname_out,
int *  made_connection_pending_out,
cached_resolve_t **  resolve_out 
)

Helper function for dns_resolve: same functionality, but does not handle:

  • marking connections on error and clearing their on_circuit
  • linking connections to n_streams/resolving_streams,
  • sending resolved cells if we have an answer/error right away,

Return -2 on a transient error. If it's a reverse resolve and it's successful, sets *hostname_out to a newly allocated string holding the cached reverse DNS value.

Set *made_connection_pending_out to true if we have placed exitconn on the list of pending connections for some resolve; set it to false otherwise.

Set *resolve_out to a cached resolve, if we found one.

◆ set_exitconn_info_from_resolve()

Given an exit connection exitconn, and a cached_resolve_t resolve whose DNS lookups have all either succeeded or failed, update the appropriate fields (address_ttl and addr) of exitconn.

The logic can be complicated here, since we might have launched both an A lookup and an AAAA lookup, and since either of those might have succeeded or failed, and since we want to answer a RESOLVE cell with a full answer but answer a BEGIN cell with whatever answer the client would accept and we could still connect to.

If this is a reverse lookup, set *hostname_out to a newly allocated copy of the name resulting hostname.
