Tor before 0.4.9.10 did not reject a CONFLUXLINK cell that arrives on a circuit which already has attached streams. A malicious client could send a RELAYCOMMANDBEGIN before the CONFLUXLINK on the same circuit, attaching an exit stream that would later end up orphan leaving a dangling circuit back-pointer and a use-after-free (UAF) when the circuit is freed. This is TROVE-2026-025.

Tor before 0.4.9.11 is prone to a use-after-free (and potential double free) of a conflux object when a recovery leg revives a conflux set whose last linked leg has already been closed. A malicious exit node could use this to crash a client. This is TROVE-2026-026.

Tor before 0.4.9.11 is prone to a race condition where in just the right circumstances a rendezvous point could man-in-the-middle (impersonate) the onion service that the client was trying to reach.

Tor before 0.4.9.9 was prone to a compression bomb bypass where an attacker could concatenate many gzip or zlib sub-streams, each just under the per-stream detection threshold, to avoid the compression bomb check entirely. This is TROVE-2026-022.

tor before 0.4.9.9 was prone to an infinite loop when decompressing a truncated zlib/gzip stream with done=1. A truncated stream never reaches ZSTREAMEND, causing zlib to return ZBUFERROR with no input remaining, which bufaddcompress() mistook for a full output buffer and retried forever. Fixed by returning TORCOMPRESSERROR in that case so the caller can abort cleanly. This is TROVE-2026-021.

tor before 0.4.9.9 was prone to a NULL write after free when sending a CONFLUXSWITCH cell fails. The return value of relaysendcommandfromedge() was ignored, so a send failure (which calls circuitmarkforclose() and removes the leg via cfxdelleg()) would go undetected, causing the caller to write to the now-freed current leg and resulting in a crash. This is TROVE-2026-017.

tor before 0.4.9.9 was prone to an out-of-bounds write when parsing a consensus or detached signature with unexpected signature digest type. Impact is minor for most Tor roles, but potentially major for directory authorities. This is TROVE-2026-019.

Tor Browser through 10.5.6 and 11.x through 11.0a4 allows a correlation attack that can compromise the privacy of visits to v2 onion addresses. Exact timestamps of these onion-service visits are logged locally, and an attacker might be able to compare them to timestamp data collected by the destination server (or collected by a rogue site within the Tor network).

Tor before 0.3.5.16, 0.4.5.10, and 0.4.6.7 mishandles the relationship between batch-signature verification and single-signature verification, leading to a remote assertion failure, aka TROVE-2021-007.

DISPUTED The daemon in Tor through 0.4.1.8 and 0.4.2.x through 0.4.2.6 does not verify that a rendezvous node is known before attempting to connect to it, which might make it easier for remote attackers to discover circuit information. NOTE: The network team of Tor claims this is an intended behavior and not a vulnerability.

A use-after-free vulnerability in SVG Animation has been discovered. An exploit built on this vulnerability has been discovered in the wild targeting Firefox and Tor Browser users on Windows.

Tor before 0.2.4.20, when OpenSSL 1.x is used in conjunction with a certain HardwareAccel setting on Intel Sandy Bridge and Ivy Bridge platforms, does not properly generate random numbers for (1) relay identity keys and (2) hidden-service identity keys, which might make it easier for remote attackers to bypass cryptographic protection mechanisms via unspecified vectors.

Tor before 0.4.9.7, when circuit queue memory pressure exists, can experience a client crash because of a double close of a circuit, aka TROVE-2026-009.

Tor before 0.4.9.7 has a NULL pointer dereference when a CERT cell is received out of order, aka TROVE-2026-006.

Tor before 0.4.9.7 has an out-of-bounds read when an END, a TRUNCATE, or a TRUNCATED cell lacks a reason in its payload, aka TROVE-2026-011.

Tor before 0.4.9.7 can attempt or accept BEGINDIR via conflux legs, aka TROVE-2026-008.

Tor before 0.4.9.7 mishandles accounting of the conflux out-of-order queue during the clearing of a queue, aka TROVE-2026-010.

Tor before 0.4.9.7 has an out-of-bounds read by one byte via a malformed BEGIN cell, aka TROVE-2026-007.

The SafeSocks option in Tor before 0.4.7.13 has a logic error in which the unsafe SOCKS4 protocol can be used but not the safe SOCKS4a protocol, aka TROVE-2022-002.

In Tor before 0.3.3.12, 0.3.4.x before 0.3.4.11, 0.3.5.x before 0.3.5.8, and 0.4.x before 0.4.0.2-alpha, remote denial of service against Tor clients and relays can occur via memory exhaustion in the KIST cell scheduler.

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]).

The tortimegm function in common/util.c in Tor before 0.2.2.39, and 0.2.3.x before 0.2.3.22-rc, does not properly validate time values, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (assertion failure and daemon exit) via a malformed directory object, a different vulnerability than CVE-2012-4419.

The comparetoraddrtoaddrpolicy function in or/policies.c in Tor before 0.2.2.39, and 0.2.3.x before 0.2.3.21-rc, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (assertion failure and daemon exit) via a zero-valued port field that is not properly handled during policy comparison.

Tor before 0.2.3.24-rc allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (assertion failure and daemon exit) by performing link protocol negotiation incorrectly.

Tor before 0.2.3.23-rc allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (assertion failure and daemon exit) via a renegotiation attempt that occurs after the initiation of the V3 link protocol.

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.

The Hidden Service (HS) client implementation in Tor before 0.2.4.27, 0.2.5.x before 0.2.5.12, and 0.2.6.x before 0.2.6.7 allows remote servers to cause a denial of service (assertion failure and application exit) via a malformed HS descriptor.

The Hidden Service (HS) server implementation in Tor before 0.2.4.27, 0.2.5.x before 0.2.5.12, and 0.2.6.x before 0.2.6.7 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (assertion failure and daemon exit) via unspecified vectors.

bufpullup in Tor before 0.2.4.26 and 0.2.5.x before 0.2.5.11 does not properly handle unexpected arrival times of buffers with invalid layouts, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (assertion failure and daemon exit) via crafted packets.

Tor before 0.2.4.26 and 0.2.5.x before 0.2.5.11 does not properly handle pending-connection resolve states during periods of high DNS load, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (assertion failure and daemon exit) via crafted packets.
