CVE-2017-11565 (opens in a new tab)How to fix?
Upgrade Debian:12 tor to version 0.3.1.7-1 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:12 relevant fixed versions and status.
debian/tor.init in the Debian tor_0.2.9.11-1~deb9u1 package for Tor was designed to execute aa-exec from the standard system pathname if the apparmor package is installed, but implements this incorrectly (with a wrong assumption that the specific pathname would remain the same forever), which allows attackers to bypass intended AppArmor restrictions by leveraging the silent loss of this protection mechanism. NOTE: this does not affect systems, such as default Debian stretch installations, on which Tor startup relies on a systemd unit file (instead of this tor.init script).
