FreeBSD: VID-C1DC55DC-9556-11E6-B154-3065EC8FD3EC: Tor -- remote denial of service
Description
The Tor Blog reports:
Prevent a class of security bugs caused by treating the contents
of a buffer chunk as if they were a NUL-terminated string. At least
one such bug seems to be present in all currently used versions of
Tor, and would allow an attacker to remotely crash most Tor
instances, especially those compiled with extra compiler hardening.
With this defense in place, such bugs can't crash Tor, though we
should still fix them as they occur. Closes ticket 20384
(TROVE-2016-10-001).
