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 does not properly manage key data in memory, which might allow local users to obtain sensitive information by leveraging the ability to read memory that was previously used by a different process.
