Fedora alert FEDORA-2012-14650 (tor)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2012-14650 2012-09-23 23:35:25 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Name : tor Product : Fedora 17 Version : 0.2.2.39 Release : 1700.fc17 URL : http://tor.eff.org Summary : Anonymizing overlay network for TCP (The onion router) Description : Tor is a connection-based low-latency anonymous communication system. Applications connect to the local Tor proxy using the SOCKS protocol. The local proxy chooses a path through a set of relays, in which each relay knows its predecessor and successor, but no others. Traffic flowing down the circuit is unwrapped by a symmetric key at each relay, which reveals the downstream relay. Warnings: Tor does no protocol cleaning. That means there is a danger that application protocols and associated programs can be induced to reveal information about the initiator. Tor depends on Privoxy and similar protocol cleaners to solve this problem. This is alpha code, and is even more likely than released code to have anonymity-spoiling bugs. The present network is very small -- this further reduces the strength of the anonymity provided. Tor is not presently suitable for high-stakes anonymity. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information: . . -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ChangeLog: * Sat Sep 22 2012 Enrico Scholz <enrico.scholz@informatik.tu-chemnitz.de> - 0.2.2.39-1700 - updated to 0.2.2.29 - CVE-2012-4419: assertion failure when comparing an address with port 0 to an address policy - CVE-2012-4422: assertion failure in tor_timegm() * Sun Aug 19 2012 Enrico Scholz <enrico.scholz@informatik.tu-chemnitz.de> - 0.2.2.38-1700 - updated to 0.2.2.38 * Tue Jun 12 2012 Enrico Scholz <enrico.scholz@informatik.tu-chemnitz.de> - 0.2.2.37-1700 - updated to 0.2.2.37 * Sat May 26 2012 Enrico Scholz <enrico.scholz@informatik.tu-chemnitz.de> - 0.2.2.36-1700 - updated to 0.2.2.36 * Fri Apr 13 2012 Enrico Scholz <enrico.scholz@informatik.tu-chemnitz.de> - 0.2.2.35-1703 - build with -fPIE -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- References: [ 1 ] Bug #856988 - CVE-2012-4419 CVE-2012-4922 tor: assertion failures in tor_timegm() and compare_tor_addr_to_addr_policy() https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=856988 [ 2 ] Bug #849949 - CVE-2012-3517 tor: Read from freed memory and double free by processing failed DNS request https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=849949 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This update can be installed with the "yum" update program.
