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.
