tor: information disclosure

Package(s):tor CVE #(s):
Created:September 8, 2015 Updated:September 10, 2015
Description: From the Tor advisory:

When a socks5 client application sends a request with a malformed hostname, the following is logged:

Your application (using socks5 to port 42) gave Tor a malformed hostname: [host.example.com]. Rejecting the connection.

It should say [scrubbed] as SafeLogging was not set to 0.

Bug is in src/or/buffers.c :: parse_socks(), where it uses escaped() on the request address rather than escaped_safe_str_client().

Alerts:
openSUSE openSUSE-SU-2015:1501-1 tor 2015-09-07
