Full details at: http://archives.seul.org/or/announce/Aug-2005/msg00002.html 
 
Versions affected: stable versions up through 0.1.0.13 and experimental 
versions up through 0.1.1.4-alpha. 
 
Impact: Tor clients can completely lose anonymity, confidentiality, 
and data integrity if the first Tor server in their path is malicious. 
Specifically, if the Tor client chooses a malicious Tor server for 
her first hop in the circuit, that server can learn all the keys she 
negotiates for the rest of the circuit (or just spoof the whole circuit), 
and then read and/or modify all her traffic over that circuit. 
 
Solution: upgrade to at least Tor 0.1.0.14 or 0.1.1.5-alpha.

I'm adding to portage now as x86 and amd64. Now we need ppc ppc64 sparc.

[Comment 7 Stefan Cornelius (RETIRED) 2005-08-14 15:44:24 UTC]

Arches, please test tor-0.1.0.14 and mark stable. Note the dependency to
libevent-1.1a that needs to be stabled on some arches, too. Thanks!
