AV:A/AC:M/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P

The Tor Browser the Short Guide (aka com.wTorShortUserManual) application 0.1 for Android does not verify X.509 certificates from SSL servers, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to spoof servers and obtain sensitive information via a crafted certificate.

CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N

Tor Browser on Windows before 8.0 allows remote attackers to bypass the intended anonymity feature and discover a client IP address, a different vulnerability than CVE-2017-16541. User interaction is required to trigger this vulnerability.

Null Pointer Dereference
CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H

In Tor before 0.2.5.16, 0.2.6 through 0.2.8 before 0.2.8.17, 0.2.9 before 0.2.9.14, 0.3.0 before 0.3.0.13, and 0.3.1 before 0.3.1.9, remote attackers can cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and application crash) against directory authorities via a malformed descriptor, aka TROVE-2017-010.

CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H

CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N

Tor Browser through 8.5.3 has an information exposure vulnerability. It allows remote attackers to detect the browser's language via vectors involving an IFRAME element, because text in that language is included in the title attribute of a LINK element for a non-HTML page. This is related to a behavior of Firefox before 68.

A Denial of Service issue was fixed in tor 0.4.7.8 related to congestion control. RTT estimation can become wedged, seriously degrading congestion control performance on all circuits. This impacts clients, onion services, and relays, and can be triggered remotely by a malicious endpoint.

It was reported [1],[2] that Tor suffered from a denial of service vulnerability due to an error when handling SENDME cells. This could be exploited to cause excessive consumption of memory resources within an entry node.

This is fixed in upstream version 0.2.3.25 (git [3]).

A vulnerability in Tor was reported [1] that could allow a malicious remote attacker to cause a denial of service. This vulnerability is due to a boundary error within the policysummarize() function in src/or/policies.c which can be exploited to crash a Tor directory authority.

Upstream announced the release of 0.2.1.30 [2] that is noted to correct this flaw.
