This vulnerability allows a Tor entry node\r\nto route traffic through the client, or to cause a denial of service by\r\ncrashing the Tor process with malformed input.\r\n\r\nThe impact of this vulnerability is low.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nDETAILS\r\n\r\nThe official Tor advisory can be found at:\r\nhttp://archives.seul.org/or/announce/Aug-2006/msg00001.html\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nIMPACT\r\n\r\nThe end-user impact of this issue is low.\r\n\r\nShould a malicious or compromised Tor entry node successfully exploit\r\nthese issues, the local user's Tor process would crash, and/or the user's\r\nmachine would route traffic to other Tor nodes.\r\n\r\nRouting unwanted traffic would cause bandwidth resources to be consumed\r\nas long as ScatterChat is running.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nSOLUTION\r\n\r\nAll Windows users who employ ScatterChat's anonymity feature are\r\nstrongly encouraged to upgrade to ScatterChat v1.0.2:\r\n\r\nhttp://www.scatterchat.com/download/v1.0.2/scatterchat-1.0.2.exe\r\nhttp://www.scatterchat.com/download/v1.0.2/scatterchat-1.0.2.exe.sig\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nCONTACT\r\n\r\nJ.
