NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream openocd package and not the openocd package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:10 relevant fixed versions and status.

Open On-Chip Debugger (OpenOCD) 0.10.0 does not block attempts to use HTTP POST for sending data to 127.0.0.1 port 4444, which allows remote attackers to conduct cross-protocol scripting attacks, and consequently execute arbitrary commands, via a crafted web site.
