CVE-2006-3417
First published: Fri Jul 07 2006(Updated: )
Tor client before 0.1.1.20 prefers entry points based on is_fast or is_stable flags, which could allow remote attackers to be preferred over nodes that are identified as more trustworthy "entry guard" (is_guard) systems by directory authorities.
