TorCVEs & Vulnerabilities

Tor before 0.1.1.20 supports server descriptors that contain hostnames instead of IP addresses, which allows remote attackers to arbitrarily group users by providing preferential address resolution.

Tor before 0.1.1.20 uses improper logic to validate the "OR" destination, which allows remote attackers to perform a man-in-the-middle (MITM) attack via unspecified vectors.

Tor before 0.1.1.20 kills the circuit when it receives an unrecognized relay command, which causes network circuits to be disbanded. NOTE: while this item is listed under the "Security fixes" section of the developer changelog, the developer clarified on 20060707 that this is only a self-DoS. Therefore this issue should not be included in CVE

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.

Tor before 0.1.1.20 does not validate that a server descriptor's fingerprint line matches its identity key, which allows remote attackers to spoof the fingerprint line, which might be trusted by users or other applications.

Tor before 0.1.1.20 uses OpenSSL pseudo-random bytes (RAND_pseudo_bytes) instead of cryptographically strong RAND_bytes, and seeds the entropy value at start-up with 160-bit chunks without reseeding, which makes it easier for attackers to conduct brute force guessing attacks.

Tor before 0.1.1.20 allows remote attackers to identify hidden services via a malicious Tor server that attempts a large number of accesses of the hidden service, which eventually causes a circuit to be built through the malicious server.

Tor 0.1.0.13 and earlier, and experimental versions 0.1.1.4-alpha and earlier, does not reject certain weak keys when using ephemeral Diffie-Hellman (DH) handshakes, which allows malicious Tor servers to obtain the keys that a client uses for other systems in the circuit.

Unknown vulnerability in Tor before 0.1.0.10 allows remote attackers to read arbitrary memory and possibly key information from the exit server's process space.
