"The Tor version previously in Debian squeeze, 0.2.2.39, is no longer
supported by upstream.

This update brings the currently stable version of Tor, 0.2.4.23, to
Debian squeeze.

Changes include use of stronger cryptographic primitives, always
clearing bignums before freeing them to avoid leaving key material in
memory, mitigating several linkability vectors such as by disabling
client-side DNS caches, blacklisting authority signing keys
potentially compromised due to heartbleed, updating the list of
directory authorities, and much more.

We recommend that you upgrade your tor packages.

NOTE: Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description
block directly from the DLA security advisory. Tenable has attempted
to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without
introducing additional issues."
