"Tor does not verify a node's uptime and bandwidth advertisements, which allows
remote attackers who operate a low resource node to make false claims of greater
resources, which places the node into use for many circuits and compromises the
anonymity of traffic sources and destinations."

All <= 0.1.1.26 versions reportedly affected.  Upstream statement:
