HighMetricsAV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions:
Tor versions 0.2.4.x through 0.2.4.25
Tor versions 0.2.5.x through 0.2.5.10
Description:
The issue is related to the buf pullup function in Tor, which does not properly handle unexpected arrival times of buffers with invalid layouts. This allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service, resulting in an assertion failure and daemon exit, via crafted packets.
Recommendations:
For Tor versions 0.2.4.x through 0.2.4.25, update to version 0.2.4.26 or later.
For Tor versions 0.2.5.x through 0.2.5.10, update to version 0.2.5.11 or later.
