CVE-2008-5397  (opens in a new tab)
CWE-264  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:unstable tor to version 0.2.0.32-1 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:unstable relevant fixed versions and status.

Tor before 0.2.0.32 does not properly process the (1) User and (2) Group configuration options, which might allow local users to gain privileges by leveraging unintended supplementary group memberships of the Tor process.
