  <background>
    <p>Tor is an implementation of second generation Onion Routing, a
      connection-oriented anonymizing communication service.
    </p>
  </background>
  <description>
    <p>Tor does not handle data correctly when specifically crafted data is
      sent, and also fails to properly verify a descriptor provided by a hidden
      service directory.
    </p>
  </description>
  <impact type="normal">
    <p>A remote attacker could cause a Denial of Service condition in both a
      Tor client or a Tor server.
    </p>
  </impact>
  <workaround>
    <p>There is no known workaround at this time.</p>
  </workaround>
  <resolution>
    <p>All Tor users should upgrade to the latest version:</p>
    
    <code>
      # emerge --sync
      # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=net-misc/tor-0.2.6.7"
    </code>
