How to fix?

Upgrade tor to version 0.2.1.29 or higher.

Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Improper Input Validation. Tor before 0.2.1.29 and 0.2.2.x before 0.2.2.21-alpha does not properly check the amount of compression in zlib-compressed data, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service via a large compression factor.
