Description

Tor before 0.2.0.32 does not properly process the ClientDNSRejectInternalAddresses configuration option in situations where an exit relay issues a policy-based refusal of a stream, which allows remote exit relays to have an unknown impact by mapping an internal IP address to the destination hostname of a refused stream.

Affected products

Tor: through 0.1.2.31; 0.0.2, 0.0.2_pre13, 0.0.2_pre14, 0.0.2_pre15, 0.0.2_pre16, 0.0.2_pre17 (+93)
