Synopsis
=======
A flaw in Tor may allow the disclosure of arbitrary memory portions.
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 lt; 0.0.9.10 gt;= 0.0.9.10
Description
==========
A bug in Tor allows attackers to view arbitrary memory contents from an exit server's process space.
Impact
=====
A remote attacker could exploit the memory disclosure to gain sensitive information and possibly even private keys.
Workaround
=========
There is no known workaround at this time.
Resolution
=========

# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "gt;=net-misc/tor-0.0.9.10"
