Description David Walser 2015-04-06 23:48:34 CEST
CVEs have been assigned for DoS issues fixed upstream in tor:
http://openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2015/04/06/6

I haven't seen an upstream release announcement, but I guess the reporter on oss-security got it from somewhere.

Mageia 4 and Mageia 5 are affected.

Testing Procedure:
https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3953#c4

Advisory:
========================

"disgleirio" discovered that a malicious client could trigger an assertion
failure in a Tor instance providing a hidden service, thus rendering the
service inaccessible (CVE-2015-2928).

"DonnchaC" discovered that Tor clients would crash with an assertion failure
upon parsing specially crafted hidden service descriptors (CVE-2015-2929).

Introduction points would accept multiple INTRODUCE1 cells on one circuit,
making it inexpensive for an attacker to overload a hidden service with
introductions. Introduction points now no longer allow multiple cells of
that type on the same circuit.

The tor package has been updated to version 0.2.4.27, fixing these issues.
