Synopsis
Tor is vulnerable to a possible buffer overflow, a Denial of Service,
information disclosure and information leak.
2.
Impact Information
Background
Tor is an implementation of second generation Onion Routing, a
connection-oriented anonymizing communication service.
Description
Some integer overflows exist when adding elements to the smartlists.
Non-printable characters received from the network are not properly
sanitised before being logged. There are additional unspecified bugs in
the directory server and in the internal circuits.
Impact
The possible buffer overflow may allow a remote attacker to execute
arbitrary code on the server by sending large inputs. The other
vulnerabilities can lead to a Denial of Service, a lack of logged
information, or some information disclosure.

Resolution Information
Workaround
There is no known workaround at this time.
Resolution
All Tor users should upgrade to the latest version:
Code Listing 3.1: Resolution |
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose net-misc/tor
