Category:	Debian Local Security Checks
Title:	Debian: Security Advisory (DSA-2136-1)
Summary:	The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'tor' package(s) announced via the DSA-2136-1 advisory.
Description:	Summary: The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'tor' package(s) announced via the DSA-2136-1 advisory. Vulnerability Insight: Willem Pinckaers discovered that Tor, a tool to enable online anonymity, does not correctly handle all data read from the network. By supplying specially crafted packets a remote attacker can cause Tor to overflow its heap, crashing the process. Arbitrary code execution has not been confirmed but there is a potential risk. In the stable distribution (lenny), this update also includes an update of the IP address for the Tor directory authority gabelmoo and addresses a weakness in the package's postinst maintainer script. For the stable distribution (lenny) this problem has been fixed in version 0.2.1.26-1~ lenny+4. For the testing distribution (squeeze) and the unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in version 0.2.1.26-6. We recommend that you upgrade your tor packages. Affected Software/OS: 'tor' package(s) on Debian 5. Solution: Please install the updated package(s). CVSS Score: 10.0 CVSS Vector: AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C
