#20185: Tor Browser alpha is broken on Linux (and probably OS X) if directory is nested too deep --------------------------------------+-------------------------- Reporter: gk | Owner: tbb-team Type: defect | Status: new Priority: High | Milestone: Component: Applications/Tor Browser | Version: Severity: Major | Resolution: Keywords: | Actual Points: Parent ID: #14270 | Points: Reviewer: | Sponsor: --------------------------------------+--------------------------
Comment (by mcs): Kathy and I were apparently lucky; our installation paths are fairly short. The longest Unix domain socket path that can be used on Linux is 108 bytes. See: https://linux.die.net/man/7/unix On OSX, it is even shorter at 104 bytes: https://developer.apple.com/legacy/library/documentation/Darwin/Reference/ManPages/man4/unix.4.html Should we be placing the sockets in /tmp instead of in the tor data directory? I think we would need to create a subdirectory with sufficiently restrictive permissions (tor does some permission checks). -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/20185#comment:1> Tor Bug Tracker & Wiki <https://trac.torproject.org/> The Tor Project: anonymity online _______________________________________________ tor-bugs mailing list tor-bugs@lists.torproject.org https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-bugs
