<p>
Tor is an implementation of second generation Onion Routing, a
connection-oriented anonymizing communication service.

<ul>
<li>
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).
</li>
<li>
rovv reported that the "ClientDNSRejectInternalAddresses" configuration
option is not always enforced (CVE-2008-5398).
</li>
<li>
Ilja van Sprundel reported a heap-corruption vulnerability that might
be remotely triggerable on some platforms (CVE-2009-0414).
</li>
<li>
It has been reported that incomplete IPv4 addresses are treated as
valid, violating the specification (CVE-2009-0939).
</li>
<li>
Three unspecified vulnerabilities have also been reported
(CVE-2009-0936, CVE-2009-0937, CVE-2009-0938).
</li>
</ul>
</description>
<impact type="high">
<p>
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.
</p>
</impact>
<workaround>
<p>
There is no known workaround at this time.
</p>
</workaround>
<resolution>
<p>
All Tor users should upgrade to the latest version:
</p>
<code>
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=net-misc/tor-0.2.0.34&quot;</code>
</resolution>
