Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Information Exposure. Tor before 0.2.2.24-alpha continues to use a reachable bridge that was previously configured but is not currently configured, which might allow remote attackers to obtain sensitive information about clients in opportunistic circumstances by monitoring network traffic to the bridge port.
