A vulnerability, which was classified as problematic, has been found in Tor up to 0.1.1.19 (Network Encryption Software). Affected by this issue is an unknown code of the component OpenSSL. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a information disclosure vulnerability. Using CWE to declare the problem leads to CWE-200. The product exposes sensitive information to an actor that is not explicitly authorized to have access to that information. Impacted is confidentiality. CVE summarizes:

Tor before 0.1.1.20 uses OpenSSL pseudo-random bytes (RAND_pseudo_bytes) instead of cryptographically strong RAND_bytes, and seeds the entropy value at start-up with 160-bit chunks without reseeding, which makes it easier for attackers to conduct brute force guessing attacks.

The weakness was released 05/24/2006 (Website). The advisory is shared for download at secunia.com. This vulnerability is handled as CVE-2006-3419 since 07/06/2006. The exploitation is known to be easy. The attack may be launched remotely. No form of authentication is required for exploitation. There are neither technical details nor an exploit publicly available. The MITRE ATT&CK project declares the attack technique as T1592.
