How to fix?

There is no fixed version for tor.

Overview

Tor 0.1.0.13 and earlier, and experimental versions 0.1.1.4-alpha and earlier, does not reject certain weak keys when using ephemeral Diffie-Hellman (DH) handshakes, which allows malicious Tor servers to obtain the keys that a client uses for other systems in the circuit.
