No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/ALBA-2021-3594/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/ALBA-2021-3594/index.md)","id":"ALBA-2021:3594","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/ALBA-2021-3594/index.md","name":"ALBA-2021:3594","record":{"aliases":[],"analysis":{"component_type":"library","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"unknown","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Berkeley DB library","requires_auth":"none","summary":"A bug in the Berkeley DB library causes the rpm command to hang and consume 100% CPU, leading to a denial of service.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"denial_of_service"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":null,"cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":null,"severity":null,"source":null,"vector":null,"version":null},"cwes":[],"description":"The libdb packages provide the Berkeley Database, an embedded database\nsupporting both traditional and client/server applications.\n\nBug Fix(es) and Enhancement(s):\n\n* [FJ8.4 Bug]: [REG]The rpm command hangs and the CPU usage reaches 100%\n(BZ#2001972)","ecosystems":["AlmaLinux:8"],"exploits":{"exploitdb":null,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":null,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":null,"nuclei":null,"refs":[],"tier":null},"has_fix":true,"headline":"libdb bug fix and enhancement update","id":"ALBA-2021:3594","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"advisory","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"denial_of_service","year":"2021"},"n_packages":8,"n_references":null,"packages":[{"ecosystem":"AlmaLinux:8","fixed":["5.3.28-42.el8_4"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"libdb","purl":"pkg:rpm/almalinux/libdb","source":"ALBA-2021:3594"},{"ecosystem":"AlmaLinux:8","fixed":["5.3.28-42.el8_4"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"libdb-cxx","purl":"pkg:rpm/almalinux/libdb-cxx","source":"ALBA-2021:3594"},{"ecosystem":"AlmaLinux:8","fixed":["5.3.28-42.el8_4"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"libdb-cxx-devel","purl":"pkg:rpm/almalinux/libdb-cxx-devel","source":"ALBA-2021:3594"},{"ecosystem":"AlmaLinux:8","fixed":["5.3.28-42.el8_4"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"libdb-devel","purl":"pkg:rpm/almalinux/libdb-devel","source":"ALBA-2021:3594"},{"ecosystem":"AlmaLinux:8","fixed":["5.3.28-42.el8_4"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"libdb-devel-doc","purl":"pkg:rpm/almalinux/libdb-devel-doc","source":"ALBA-2021:3594"},{"ecosystem":"AlmaLinux:8","fixed":["5.3.28-42.el8_4"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"libdb-sql","purl":"pkg:rpm/almalinux/libdb-sql","source":"ALBA-2021:3594"},{"ecosystem":"AlmaLinux:8","fixed":["5.3.28-42.el8_4"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"libdb-sql-devel","purl":"pkg:rpm/almalinux/libdb-sql-devel","source":"ALBA-2021:3594"},{"ecosystem":"AlmaLinux:8","fixed":["5.3.28-42.el8_4"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"libdb-utils","purl":"pkg:rpm/almalinux/libdb-utils","source":"ALBA-2021:3594"}],"products":null,"published":"2021-09-21","related":[],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"MIT","name":"AlmaLinux","prefix":"ALBA"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":null,"updated":null,"vendors":null},"summary":"A bug in the Berkeley DB library causes the rpm command to hang and consume 100% CPU, leading to a denial of service.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/ALBA-2021-3594/"}
