Description Kurt Seifried 2011-12-23 02:48:09 UTC

https://blog.torproject.org/blog/tor-02225-alpha-out

Tor before 0.2.2.25-alpha, when configured as a relay without the
Nickname configuration option, uses the local hostname as the Nickname
value, which allows remote attackers to obtain potentially sensitive
information by reading this value.
