Public bug reported:
A buffer overrun can crash Tor 0.2.4.27 (trusty), 0.2.7.6 (xenial),
0.2.8.8 (yakkety) causing d-o-s.
Tor treats "the contents of a buffer chunk as if they were a NUL-
terminated string. At least one such bug seems to be present in all
currently used versions of Tor, and would allow an attacker to remotely
crash most Tor instances, especially those compiled with extra compiler
hardening."
