Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: tor
The version of Tor offered via apt-get is outdated. The 0.1.2.x version
of Tor, whilst still supported, is no longer considered stable or
current, and the intention is to obsolete this branch in 4-6 months.
0.2.0.x versions should now be considered stable.
In addition, the version of Tor offered in the main repository is
outdated: "there are some anonymity and security fixes between 0.1.2.17
and 0.1.2.19 though" according to the author, Roger Dingledine.
In order for Intrepid Ibex to be considered stable, Tor needs to be
upgraded in the repository to 0.2.0.x.
Tor updates appear every couple of months or so.. it would be helpful if
the repository could stay up-to-date with these to minimize the window
of opportunity for any bugs to be exploited.
