NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream tor package and not the tor package as distributed by Ubuntu.

Tor before 0.2.2.25-alpha, when configured as a relay without the Nickname configuration option, uses the local hostname as the Nickname value, which allows remote attackers to obtain potentially sensitive information by reading this value.
