CVE-2015-2689  (opens in a new tab)
CWE-20  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade tor to version 0.2.4.26, 0.2.5.11 or higher.

Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Improper Input Validation. Tor before 0.2.4.26 and 0.2.5.x before 0.2.5.11 does not properly handle pending-connection resolve states during periods of high DNS load, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (assertion failure and daemon exit) via crafted packets.
