Detail

It was discovered that Tor, a connection-based low-latency anonymous communication system, may read one byte past a buffer when parsing hidden service descriptors. This issue may enable a hostile hidden service to crash Tor clients depending on hardening options and malloc implementation.

For the stable distribution (jessie), this problem has been fixed in version 0.2.5.12-4.

For the testing (stretch) and unstable (sid) distributions, this problem has been fixed in version 0.2.9.8-2.

We recommend that you upgrade your tor packages.
