Package : tor
CVE ID : CVE-2023-23589
A logic error was discovered in the implementation of the "SafeSocks"
option of Tor, a connection-based low-latency anonymous communication
system, which did result in allowing unsafe SOCKS4 traffic to pass.
For the stable distribution (bullseye), this problem has been fixed in
version 0.4.5.16-1.
We recommend that you upgrade your tor packages.
