Base vector

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

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Tor versions prior to 0.4.6.5

Description The issue is related to the v3 onion service descriptor parsing, which allows out-of-bounds memory access and can cause a client crash via a crafted onion service descriptor. This can be exploited by a remote attacker to cause a denial of service.

Recommendations For versions prior to 0.4.6.5, update to version 0.4.6.5 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting the use of v3 onion services until a patch is applied.
