Synopsis
========
Multiple vulnerabilities were found in Tor, the most severe of which
may allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code.

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 < 0.2.1.30 >= 0.2.1.30

Description
===========
Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in Tor. Please review the
CVE identifiers referenced below for details.

Impact
======
A remote unauthenticated attacker may be able to execute arbitrary code
with the privileges of the Tor process or create a Denial of Service.

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-0.2.1.30"

NOTE: This is a legacy GLSA. Updates for all affected architectures are
available since April 2, 2011. It is likely that your system is already
no longer affected by this issue.
