Proposed 1.6.0-b5 #3388
Proposed 1.6.0-b5 #3388
Conversation
This commit introduces the "HardenedValidations" amendment which, if enabled, allows validators to include additional information in their validations that can increase the robustness of consensus. Specifically, the commit introduces a new optional field that can be set in validation messages can be used to attest to the hash of the latest ledger that a validator considers to be fully validated. Additionally, the commit leverages the previously introduced "cookie" field to improve the robustness of the network by making it possible for servers to automatically detect accidental misconfiguration which results in two or more validators using the same validation key.
Currently there is no mechanism for a validator to report the version of the software it is currently running. Such reports can be useful for those who are developing network monitoring dashboards and server operators in general. This commit, if merged, defines an encoding scheme to encode a version string into a 64-bit unsigned integer and adds an additional optional field to validations. This commit piggybacks on "HardenedValidations" amendment to determine whether version information should be propagated or not. The general encoding scheme is: XXXXXXXX-XXXXXXXX-YYYYYYYY-YYYYYYYY-YYYYYYYY-YYYYYYYY-YYYYYYYY-YYYYYYYY X: 16 bits identifying the particular implementation Y: 48 bits of data specific to the implementation The rippled-specific format (implementation ID is: 0x18 0x3B) is: 00011000-00111011-MMMMMMMM-mmmmmmmm-pppppppp-TTNNNNNN-00000000-00000000 M: 8-bit major version (0-255) m: 8-bit minor version (0-255) p: 8-bit patch version (0-255) T: 11 if neither an RC nor a beta 10 if an RC 01 if a beta N: 6-bit rc/beta number (1-63)
A deliberately malformed token can cause the server to crash during startup. This is not remotely exploitable and would require someone with access to the configuration file of the server to make changes and then restart the server.

This commit removes obsolete comments, dead or no longer useful code, and workarounds for several issues that were present in older compilers that we no longer support. Specifically: - It improves the transaction metadata handling class, simplifying its use and making it less error-prone. - It reduces the footprint of the Serializer class by consolidating code and leveraging templates. - It cleanups the ST* class hierarchy, removing dead code, improving and consolidating code to reduce complexity and code duplication. - It shores up the handling of currency codes and the conversation between 160-bit currency codes and their string representation. - It migrates beast::secure_erase to the ripple namespace and uses a call to OpenSSL_cleanse instead of the custom implementation.
Entries in the ledger are located using 256-bit locators. The locators are calculated using a wide range of parameters specific to the entry whose locator we are calculating (e.g. an account's locator is derived from the account's address, whereas the locator for an offer is derived from the account and the offer sequence.) Keylets enhance type safety during lookup and make the code more robust, so this commit removes most of the earlier code, which used naked uint256 values.
The built-in watchdog is simplistic and can, sometimes, cause problems especially on systems that have the ability to automatically start and monitor processes. This commit removes the sustain system entirely, changes the handling of the SIGTERM signal to properly terminate the process and improves the error message reported to the user when the command line used to start `rippled` is incorrect and malformed.
The script, when invoked by a server operator can collect information useful for debugging, while attempting to redact potentially sensitive data. It contained no explanation or other exposition to allow people who look at the file but aren't familiar with shell scripts to understand its purpose.
This commit introduces no functional changes but cleans up the code and shrinks the surface area by removing dead and unused code, leveraging std:: alternatives to hand-rolled code and improving comments and documentation.
The unit test now verifies that if an account is not present in the starting account_tx ledger, account_tx still iterates down and finds the transaction that deletes the account (and earlier transactions).
