Description

MUTE contains an issue that may theoretically lead to an unauthorized information disclosure. The issue is triggered when a MUTE client retrieves all of its random hosts from a single MWebCache. If the MWebCache is operated by a malicious attacker and filled with malicious hosts, this may allow identification of the MUTE client and a loss of confidentiality.
