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 < 0.1.0.14 >= 0.1.0.14 Description =========== The Diffie-Hellman implementation of Tor fails to verify the cryptographic strength of keys which are used during handshakes. Impact ====== By setting up a malicious Tor server and enticing users to use this server as first hop, a remote attacker could read and modify all traffic of the user. 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-0.1.0.14" References ========== [ 1 ] CAN-2005-2643 http://www.cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2005-2643 [ 2 ] Tor Security Announcement http://archives.seul.org/or/announce/Aug-2005/msg00002.html Availability ============ This GLSA and any updates to it are available for viewing at the Gentoo Security Website: http://security.gentoo.org/glsa/glsa-200508-16.xml Concerns? ========= Security is a primary focus of Gentoo Linux and ensuring the confidentiality and security of our users machines is of utmost importance to us.
