NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream tor package and not the tor package as distributed by Echo. See How to fix? for Echo:latest relevant fixed versions and status.

tor before 0.4.9.9 was prone to an out-of-bounds write when parsing a consensus or detached signature with unexpected signature digest type. Impact is minor for most Tor roles, but potentially major for directory authorities. This is TROVE-2026-019.
