"The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-201201-12
(Tor: Multiple vulnerabilities)

    Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in Tor:
      When configured as client or bridge, Tor uses the same TLS
        certificate chain for all outgoing connections (CVE-2011-2768).
      When configured as a bridge, Tor relays can distinguish incoming
        bridge connections from client connections (CVE-2011-2769).
      An error in or/buffers.c could result in a heap-based buffer overflow
        (CVE-2011-2778).
  
Impact :

    A remote attacker could possibly execute arbitrary code or cause a
      Denial of Service. Furthermore, a remote relay the user is directly
      connected to may be able to disclose anonymous information about that
      user or enumerate bridges in the user's connection.
  
Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time."

Malicious parties could use this to cause a heap-based buffer
overflow, potentially allowing execution of arbitrary code.

In Tor's default configuration this issue can only be triggered by
clients that can connect to Tor's SOCKS port, which listens only on
localhost by default.

In non-default configurations where Tor's SocksPort listens not only
on localhost or where Tor was configured to use another SOCKS server
for all of its outgoing connections, Tor is vulnerable to a larger set
of malicious parties."
