Description

This security bulletin contains information about 3 vulnerabilities.


1) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-34550)

CWE-ID: CWE-125 - Out-of-bounds read

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:A/VC:N/VI:N/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to potentially sensitive information.

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary condition during v3 onion service descriptor parsing. A remote attacker can create an onion service descriptor that would crash any client that tried to visit it.


2) Resource management error (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-34549)

CWE-ID: CWE-399 - Resource Management Errors

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to improper management of internal resources within the naive unkeyed hash function. A remote attacker can construct circuits with chosen circuit IDs, to create collisions and make the hash table inefficient, resulting in denial of service condition.


3) Information disclosure (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-34548)

CWE-ID: CWE-200 - Exposure of sensitive information to an unauthorized actor

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:L/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform spoofing attack.

The vulnerability exists due to incorrect processing of user-supplied data. A remote attacker can spoof RELAY_END or RELAY_RESOLVED cell on half-closed streams, which would allow a relay on a circuit to end a stream that wasn't actually built with it.
