File tor_026-bug-20384.patch of Package tor.openSUSE_Leap_42.1_Update

Subject: [PATCH] Add a one-word sentinel value of 0x0 at the end of each buf_t
 chunk

This helps protect against bugs where any part of a buf_t's memory
is passed to a function that expects a NUL-terminated input.

It also closes TROVE-2016-10-001 (aka bug 20384).

+ o Major features (security fixes):
+
+ - Prevent a class of security bugs caused by treating 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. With this defense in place, such bugs can't crash Tor,
+ though we should still fix them as they occur. Closes ticket 20384
+ (TROVE-2016-10-001).
