+<p>Henry de Valence reported a flaw in the signature verification code in
+Tor, a connection-based low-latency anonymous communication system. A
+remote attacker can take advantage of this flaw to cause an assertion
+failure, resulting in denial of service.</p>
+
+<p>For the oldstable distribution (buster), this problem has been fixed
+in version 0.3.5.16-1.</p>
+
+<p>For the stable distribution (bullseye), this problem has been fixed in
+version 0.4.5.10-1~deb11u1.</p>
+
+<p>We recommend that you upgrade your tor packages.</p>
