CWE-20  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade tor to version 0.2.2.39 or higher.

Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Improper Input Validation. The tor_timegm function in common/util.c in Tor before 0.2.2.39, and 0.2.3.x before 0.2.3.22-rc, does not properly validate time values, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (assertion failure and daemon exit) via a malformed directory object, a different vulnerability than CVE-2012-4419.
