  <synopsis>Multiple vulnerabilities have been found in Tor, the most severe of
    which may allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code.

  <background>
    <p>Tor is an implementation of second generation Onion Routing, a
      connection-oriented anonymizing communication service.
    </p>
  </background>
  <description>
    <p>Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in Tor:</p>
    
    <ul>
      <li>When configured as client or bridge, Tor uses the same TLS
        certificate chain for all outgoing connections (CVE-2011-2768).
      </li>
      <li>When configured as a bridge, Tor relays can distinguish incoming
        bridge connections from client connections (CVE-2011-2769). 
      </li>
      <li>An error in or/buffers.c could result in a heap-based buffer overflow
        (CVE-2011-2778).
      </li>
    </ul>
  </description>
  <impact type="normal">
    <p>A remote attacker could possibly execute arbitrary code or cause a
      Denial of Service. Furthermore, a remote relay the user is directly
      connected to may be able to disclose anonymous information about that
      user or enumerate bridges in the user's connection. 
    </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 "&gt;=net-misc/tor-0.2.2.35"
    </code>
