Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Resource Management Errors. Tor before 0.2.1.29 and 0.2.2.x before 0.2.2.21-alpha allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (assertion failure and daemon exit) via blobs that trigger a certain file size, as demonstrated by the cached-descriptors.new file.
