Tor before 0.2.4.23 and 0.2.5 before 0.2.5.6-alpha maintains a circuit after an inbound RELAYEARLY cell is received by a client, which makes it easier for remote attackers to conduct traffic-confirmation attacks by using the pattern of RELAY and RELAYEARLY cells as a means of communicating information about hidden service names.

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

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]).
