Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures assigned an identifier CVE-2014-5117 to

Name: CVE-2014-5117
URL: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2014-5117

Reference: https://lists.torproject.org/pipermail/tor-announce/2014-July/000094.html

Reference: https://blog.torproject.org/blog/tor-security-advisory-relay-early-traffic-confirmation-attack
Reference: https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/1038

Tor before 0.2.4.23 and 0.2.5 before 0.2.5.6-alpha maintains a circuit
after an inbound RELAY_EARLY cell is received by a client, which makes
it easier for remote attackers to conduct traffic-confirmation attacks
by using the pattern of RELAY and RELAY_EARLY cells as a means of
communicating information about hidden service names.
