Detail

It has been discovered that Tor treats the contents of some buffer chunks as if they were a NUL-terminated string. This issue could enable a remote attacker to crash a Tor client, hidden service, relay, or authority.

For the stable distribution (jessie), this problem has been fixed in version 0.2.5.12-3.

For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in version 0.2.8.9-1.

For the experimental distribution, this problem has been fixed in version 0.2.9.4-alpha-1.

We recommend that you upgrade your tor packages.
