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 Pre‑0.4.9.12 Unchecked CC_RESPONSE Causes Denial of Service
Tor before 0.4.9.12 interprets the CC_RESPONSE extension even when CC_REQUEST was not sent, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) because of corrupted congestion-control state. This is TROVE-2026-032.
Out‑Of‑Bounds Write During Consensus or Detached Signature Parsing in Tor
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.
NULL Write After Free in Tor Relay Leading to Crash
tor before 0.4.9.9 was prone to a NULL write after free when sending a CONFLUX_SWITCH cell fails. The return value of relay_send_command_from_edge() was ignored, so a send failure (which calls circuit_mark_for_close() and removes the leg via cfx_del_leg()) would go undetected, causing the caller to write to the now-freed current leg and resulting in a crash. This is TROVE-2026-017.
Race Condition Enables Rendezvous Point to Impersonate Onion Service in Tor
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.
Use‑After‑Free via CONFLUX_LINK Handling
Tor before 0.4.9.10 did not reject a CONFLUX_LINK cell that arrives on a circuit which already has attached streams. A malicious client could send a RELAY_COMMAND_BEGIN before the CONFLUX_LINK 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.
Compression Bomb Bypass Vulnerability in Tor
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.
Infinite Loop in Tor Decompression Leads to DoS
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 Z_STREAM_END, causing zlib to return Z_BUF_ERROR with no input remaining, which buf_add_compress() mistook for a full output buffer and retried forever. Fixed by returning TOR_COMPRESS_ERROR in that case so the caller can abort cleanly. This is TROVE-2026-021.
NULL Pointer Dereference in Tor upon Out‑of‑Order CERT Cell
Tor before 0.4.9.7 has a NULL pointer dereference when a CERT cell is received out of order, aka TROVE-2026-006.
Out-of-Bounds Read in Tor via Malformed BEGIN Cell
Tor before 0.4.9.7 has an out-of-bounds read by one byte via a malformed BEGIN cell, aka TROVE-2026-007.
Double-Close Circuit Queue Crash in Tor Client
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.
Out-of-bounds Read in Tor Relay Cell Handling for END, TRUNCATE Cells Without Reason
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 Conflux Leg Vulnerability Allowing Unauthorized BEGIN_DIR Handling
Tor before 0.4.9.7 can attempt or accept BEGIN_DIR via conflux legs, aka TROVE-2026-008.
Mismanaged Queue State Leading to Potential Denial of Service in Tor
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.
Mozilla: Firefox SVG Animation Remote Code Execution (MFSA 2016-92)
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. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 50.0.2, Firefox ESR < 45.5.1, and Thunderbird < 45.5.1.
The hidden-service feature in Tor before 0.3.0.8 allows a denial of service (assertion failure and daemon exit) in the relay_send_end_cell_from_edge_ function via a malformed BEGIN cell.
Tor before 0.2.8.12 might allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (client crash) via a crafted hidden service descriptor.
Mozilla: Proxy bypass using automount and autofs
Tor Browser before 7.0.9 on macOS and Linux allows remote attackers to bypass the intended anonymity feature and discover a client IP address via vectors involving a crafted web site that leverages file:// mishandling in Firefox, aka TorMoil. NOTE: Tails is unaffected.
The rend_service_intro_established function in or/rendservice.c in Tor before 0.2.8.15, 0.2.9.x before 0.2.9.12, 0.3.0.x before 0.3.0.11, 0.3.1.x before 0.3.1.7, and 0.3.2.x before 0.3.2.1-alpha, when SafeLogging is disabled, allows attackers to obtain sensitive information by leveraging access to the log files of a hidden service, because uninitialized stack data is included in an error message about construction of an introduction point circuit.
Tor 0.3.x before 0.3.0.9 has a guard-selection algorithm that only considers the exit relay (not the exit relay's family), which might allow remote attackers to defeat intended anonymity properties by leveraging the existence of large families.
