Willem Pinckaers discovered that Tor, a tool to enable online anonymity, does not correctly handle all data read from the network.
By supplying specially crafted packets a remote attacker can cause Tor to overflow its heap, crashing the process. Arbitrary code execution has not been confirmed but there is a potential risk.

In the stable distribution (lenny), this update also includes an update of the IP address for the Tor directory authority gabelmoo and addresses a weakness in the package’s postinst maintainer script.
