Descriptions

The SafeSocks option in Tor before 0.4.7.13 has a logic error in which the unsafe SOCKS4 protocol can be used but not the safe SOCKS4a protocol, aka TROVE-2022-002.

La opción SafeSocks en Tor anterior a 0.4.7.13 tiene un error lógico en el que se puede usar el protocolo SOCKS4 inseguro pero no el protocolo SOCKS4a seguro, también conocido como TROVE-2022-002.

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.
