[Backports-security-announce] Security Update for tor



Peter Palfrader uploaded new packages for tor which fixed the
following security problem:

Debian Bug 505178

  tor didn't properly drop privileges when using the "User" and "Group"
  config options.

For the etch-backports distribution the problem has been fixed in
version 0.2.0.32-1~bpo40+1.

For the lenny and sid distributions the problem has been fixed in
version 0.2.0.32-1.


Upgrade instructions
--------------------

If you don't use pinning (see [1]) you have to update the packages
manually via "apt-get -t etch-backports install <packagelist>" with the
packagelist of your installed packages affected by this update.
[1] <http://backports.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=instructions>

We recommend to pin the backports repository to 200 so that new versions
of installed  backports will be installed automatically:

  Package: *
  Pin: release a=etch-backports
  Pin-Priority: 200
