These versions had - a bug (CVE-2011-4576) in which their block cipher padding - included uninitialized data, potentially leaking sensitive - information to any peer with whom they made a SSLv3 - connection. Tor does not use SSL v3 by default, but a hostile - client or server could force an SSLv3 connection in order to - gain information that they shouldn't have been able to get. The - best solution here is to upgrade to OpenSSL 0.9.8s or 1.0.0f (or - later). But when building or running with a non-upgraded - OpenSSL, we should instead make sure that the bug can't happen - by disabling SSLv3 entirely. |
