It has been discovered that Tor, a connection-based low-latency anonymous communication system, contain a flaw in the hidden service code when receiving a BEGIN_DIR cell on a hidden service rendezvous circuit. A remote attacker can take advantage of this flaw to cause a hidden service to crash with an assertion failure (TROVE-2017-005). For the stable distribution (jessie), this problem has been fixed in version 0.2.5.14-1. For the upcoming stable distribution (stretch), this problem will be fixed in version 0.2.9.11-1~deb9u1. For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in version 0.2.9.11-1. We recommend that you upgrade your tor packages.
