Synopsis
========
Multiple vulnerabilities in Tor might allow for heap corruption, Denial
of Service, escalation of privileges and information disclosure.
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 < 0.2.0.34 >= 0.2.0.34
Description
===========
* Theo de Raadt reported that the application does not properly drop
privileges to the primary groups of the user specified via the "User"
configuration option (CVE-2008-5397).
* rovv reported that the "ClientDNSRejectInternalAddresses"
configuration option is not always enforced (CVE-2008-5398).
* Ilja van Sprundel reported a heap-corruption vulnerability that
might be remotely triggerable on some platforms (CVE-2009-0414).
* It has been reported that incomplete IPv4 addresses are treated as
valid, violating the specification (CVE-2009-0939).
* Three unspecified vulnerabilities have also been reported
(CVE-2009-0936, CVE-2009-0937, CVE-2009-0938).
Impact
======
A local attacker could escalate privileges by leveraging unintended
supplementary group memberships of the Tor process. A remote attacker
could exploit these vulnerabilities to cause a heap corruption with
unknown impact and attack vectors, to cause a Denial of Service via CPU
consuption or daemon crash, and to weaken anonymity provided by the
service.
Workaround
==========
There is no known workaround at this time.
Resolution
==========
All Tor users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=net-misc/tor-0.2.0.34"
