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

  <description>
    <p>
    Some integer overflows exist when adding elements to the smartlists.
    Non-printable characters received from the network are not properly
    sanitised before being logged. There are additional unspecified bugs in
    the directory server and in the internal circuits.
    </p>
  </description>
  <impact type="normal">
    <p>
    The possible buffer overflow may allow a remote attacker to execute
    arbitrary code on the server by sending large inputs. The other
    vulnerabilities can lead to a Denial of Service, a lack of logged
    information, or some information disclosure.
    </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 net-misc/tor</code>
  </resolution>
