Changes in version 0.2.3.10-alpha - 201?-??-??
Changes in version 0.2.3.10-alpha - 2011-12-16
Tor 0.2.3.10-alpha fixes a critical heap-overflow security issue in Tor's
buffers code. Absolutely everybody should upgrade.
The bug relied on an incorrect calculation when making data continuous
in one of our IO buffers, if the first chunk of the buffer was
misaligned by just the wrong amount. The miscalculation would allow an
attacker to overflow a piece of heap-allocated memory. To mount this
attack, the attacker would need to either open a SOCKS connection to
Tor's SocksPort (usually restricted to localhost), or target a Tor
instance configured to make its connections through a SOCKS proxy
(which Tor does not do by default).
Good security practice requires that all heap-overflow bugs should be
presumed to be exploitable until proven otherwise, so we are treating
this as a potential code execution attack. Please upgrade immediately!
This bug does not affect bufferevents-based builds of Tor. Special
thanks to "Vektor" for reporting this issue to us!
This release also contains a few minor bugfixes for issues
discovered in 0.2.3.9-alpha.
o Major bugfixes:
- Fix a heap overflow bug that could occur when trying to pull
data into the first chunk of a buffer, when that chunk had
already had some data drained from it. Fixes CVE-2011-2778;
bugfix on 0.2.0.16-alpha. Reported by "Vektor".
