Recent updates to the tor packages have addressed critical security vulnerabilities, including denial-of-service flaws affecting Mageia 7.

Updated tor package fixes security vulnerabilities: Tor before 0.3.5.10 allows remote attackers to cause a Denial of Service (CPU consumption) (CVE-2020-10592).

Summary

Updated tor package fixes security vulnerabilities:
Tor before 0.3.5.10 allows remote attackers to cause a Denial of Service (CPU consumption) (CVE-2020-10592).
Tor before 0.3.5.10 allows remote attackers to cause a Denial of Service (memory leak). This occurs in circpad_setup_machine_on_circ because a circuit-padding machine can be negotiated twice on the same circuit (CVE-2020-10593).
