    Problem type : remote
    Debian-specific: no
    CVE ID : CVE-2012-3518 CVE-2012-3519 CVE-2012-4419

    Severel vulnerabilities have been discovered in Tor, an online privacy
    tool.

    CVE-2012-3518

    Avoid an uninitialised memory read when reading a vote or consensus
    document that has an unrecognized flavour name. This could lead to
    a remote, resulting in denial of service.

    CVE-2012-3519

    Try to leak less information about what relays a client is choosing to
    a side-channel attacker.

    CVE-2012-4419

    By providing specially crafted date strings to a victim tor instance,
    an attacker can cause it to run into an assertion and shut down

    Additionally the update to stable includes the following fixes:
    - - When waiting for a client to renegotiate, don't allow it to add any
    bytes to the input buffer. This fixes a potential DoS issue
    [tor-5934, tor-6007].

    For the stable distribution (squeeze), these problems have been fixed in version 0.2.2.39-1.

    For the unstable distribution, these problems have been fixed in version 0.2.3.22-rc-1.

    We recommend that you upgrade your tor packages.
