CVE-2007-4174 Open this link in a new tabHow to fix?
Upgrade Debian:10 tor to version 0.1.2.16-1 or higher.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream tor package and not the tor package as distributed by Debian.
See How to fix? for Debian:10 relevant fixed versions and status.
Tor before 0.1.2.16, when ControlPort is enabled, does not properly restrict commands to localhost port 9051, which allows remote attackers to modify the torrc configuration file, compromise anonymity, and have other unspecified impact via HTTP POST data containing commands without valid authentication, as demonstrated by an HTML form (1) hosted on a web site or (2) injected by a Tor exit node.
