Latest Torproject vulnerabilities
- 9.3 Critical severity
Tor: Out-of-bounds Write
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.
- 8.2 High severity
Tor: Unchecked Return Value
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()) wou
- 9.0 Critical severity
Tor: Concurrent Execution using Shared Resource with Improper Synchronization
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.
- 7.5 High severity
Tor: Use After Free
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
- 8.2 High severity
Tor: Incorrect Synchronization
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
- 7.5 High severity
Tor: Improper Enforcement of a Single, Unique Action
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.
- 7.5 High severity
