CWE-400  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade tor to version 0.2.1.29 or higher.

Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Denial of Service (DoS). Tor before 0.2.1.29 and 0.2.2.x before 0.2.2.21-alpha makes calls to Libevent within Libevent log handlers, which might allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (daemon crash) via vectors that trigger certain log messages.
