Package(s):tor CVE #(s):CVE-2011-0015 CVE-2011-0016 CVE-2011-0490 CVE-2011-0491 CVE-2011-0492 CVE-2011-0493
Created:May 16, 2011 Updated:June 9, 2011
Description: From the CVE entries:

Tor before 0.2.1.29 and 0.2.2.x before 0.2.2.21-alpha does not properly check the amount of compression in zlib-compressed data, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service via a large compression factor. (CVE-2011-0015)

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. (CVE-2011-0016)

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. (CVE-2011-0490)

The tor_realloc function in Tor before 0.2.1.29 and 0.2.2.x before 0.2.2.21-alpha does not validate a certain size value during memory allocation, which might allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (daemon crash) via unspecified vectors, related to "underflow errors." (CVE-2011-0491)

Tor before 0.2.1.29 and 0.2.2.x before 0.2.2.21-alpha allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (assertion failure and daemon exit) via blobs that trigger a certain file size, as demonstrated by the cached-descriptors.new file. (CVE-2011-0492)

Tor before 0.2.1.29 and 0.2.2.x before 0.2.2.21-alpha might allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (assertion failure and daemon exit) via vectors related to malformed router caches and improper handling of integer values. (CVE-2011-0493)
