Last modified
CVE-2012-3518 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. The networkstatus_parse_vote_from_string function in routerparse.c in Tor before 0.2.2.38 does not properly handle an invalid flavor name, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read and daemon crash) via a crafted (1) vote document or (2) consensus document.. EPSS estimates a 2.77% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
