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.
