Description:
Some weaknesses and a vulnerability have been reported in Tor, which potentially can be exploited by malicious people to bypass certain security restrictions, disclose certain sensitive information, or potentially cause a DoS (Denial of Service).
1) An error in the handling of streamid's from different exits within a circuit can be exploited e.g. by a malicious Tor server within the circuit to inject arbitrary data into the TCP stream.
2) Sending destroy cells from a circuit's origin includes sending out a reason for tearing down the circuit. This weakens the Tor anonymity concept and may allow an attacker to narrow down users from a larger list.
3) An error in the handling of guard nodes can be exploited to aid in anonymity-related attacks.
4) A boundary error within the BSD natd support can be exploited to e.g. crash the application.
Successful exploitation requires that the Natdport configuration option is added to the torrc file on a BSD system.
The weaknesses and vulnerability are reported in versions prior to 0.1.2.15.
