The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200904-11 (Tor: Multiple vulnerabilities)
Theo de Raadt reported that the application does not properly drop privileges to the primary groups of the user specified via the 'User' configuration option (CVE-2008-5397).
rovv reported that the 'ClientDNSRejectInternalAddresses' configuration option is not always enforced (CVE-2008-5398).
Ilja van Sprundel reported a heap-corruption vulnerability that might be remotely triggerable on some platforms (CVE-2009-0414).
It has been reported that incomplete IPv4 addresses are treated as valid, violating the specification (CVE-2009-0939).
Three unspecified vulnerabilities have also been reported (CVE-2009-0936, CVE-2009-0937, CVE-2009-0938).
Impact :
A local attacker could escalate privileges by leveraging unintended supplementary group memberships of the Tor process. A remote attacker could exploit these vulnerabilities to cause a heap corruption with unknown impact and attack vectors, to cause a Denial of Service via CPU consuption or daemon crash, and to weaken anonymity provided by the service.
Workaround :
There is no known workaround at this time.
