Assigner: mitre
Reserved: 20.08.2026 Published: 20.08.2026 Updated: 20.08.2026

Tor before 0.4.9.9 was prone to a compression bomb bypass where an attacker could concatenate many gzip or zlib sub-streams, each just under the per-stream detection threshold, to avoid the compression bomb check entirely. This is TROVE-2026-022.
