Title:	Debian: Security Advisory (DLA-663-1)
Summary:	The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'tor' package(s) announced via the DLA-663-1 advisory.
Description:	Summary: The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'tor' package(s) announced via the DLA-663-1 advisory. Vulnerability Insight: It has been discovered that Tor treats the contents of some buffer chunks as if they were a NUL-terminated string. This issue could enable a remote attacker to crash a Tor client, hidden service, relay, or authority. This update aims to defend against this general class of security bugs. For Debian 7 Wheezy, this problem has been fixed in version 0.2.4.27-2. For the stable distribution (jessie), this problem has been fixed in version 0.2.5.12-3., for unstable (sid) with version 0.2.8.9-1, and for experimental with 0.2.9.4-alpha-1. Additionally, for wheezy this updates the set of authority directory servers to the one from Tor 0.2.8.7, released in August 2016. We recommend that you upgrade your tor packages.
