    <p>
    Tor is an implementation of second generation Onion Routing, a
    connection-oriented anonymizing communication service.
    </p>
  </background>
  <description>
    <p>
    The Diffie-Hellman implementation of Tor fails to verify the
    cryptographic strength of keys which are used during handshakes.
    </p>
  </description>
  <impact type="low">
    <p>
    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.
    </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-0.1.0.14&quot;</code>
  </resolution>
