Synopsis |
16 |
======== |
17 |
|
18 |
Tor is vulnerable to a possible buffer overflow, a Denial of Service, |
19 |
information disclosure and information leak. |
20 |
|
21 |
Background |
22 |
========== |
23 |
|
24 |
Tor is an implementation of second generation Onion Routing, a |
25 |
connection-oriented anonymizing communication service. |
26 |
|
27 |
Affected packages |
28 |
================= |

Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected |

Description |
36 |
=========== |
37 |
|
38 |
Some integer overflows exist when adding elements to the smartlists. |
39 |
Non-printable characters received from the network are not properly |
40 |
sanitised before being logged. There are additional unspecified bugs in |
41 |
the directory server and in the internal circuits. |
42 |
|
43 |
Impact |
44 |
====== |
45 |
|
46 |
The possible buffer overflow may allow a remote attacker to execute |
47 |
arbitrary code on the server by sending large inputs. The other |
48 |
vulnerabilities can lead to a Denial of Service, a lack of logged |
49 |
information, or some information disclosure. |
50 |
|
51 |
Workaround |
52 |
========== |
53 |
|
54 |
There is no known workaround at this time. |
55 |
|
56 |
Resolution |
57 |
========== |
58 |
|
59 |
All Tor users should upgrade to the latest version: |
60 |
|
61 |
# emerge --sync |
62 |
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=net-misc/tor-0.1.1.20" |
