Synopsis
========
A flaw in Tor may allow the disclosure of arbitrary memory portions.
Background
==========
Tor is an implementation of second generation Onion Routing, a
connection-oriented anonymizing communication service.
Affected packages
=================
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected
-------------------------------------------------------------------
1 net-misc/tor < 0.0.9.10 >= 0.0.9.10
Description
===========
A bug in Tor allows attackers to view arbitrary memory contents from an
exit server's process space.
Impact
======
A remote attacker could exploit the memory disclosure to gain sensitive
information and possibly even private keys.
Workaround
==========
There is no known workaround at this time.
Resolution
==========
All Tor users should upgrade to the latest available version:
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=net-misc/tor-0.0.9.10"
