An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-1999-0046 exists.\n\nAffected product: Debian Debian Linux. 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/CVE-1999-0046/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-1999-0046/index.md)","id":"CVE-1999-0046","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-1999-0046/index.md","name":"CVE-1999-0046","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-j4jr-qcgh-mgmc"],"analysis":{"component_type":"operating_system","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Unix rlogin utility","requires_auth":"none","summary":"A buffer overflow in the rlogin program via the TERM environment variable allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"memory_corruption"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"bsd_os","vendor":"bsdi"},{"product":"debian_linux","vendor":"debian"},{"product":"ultrix","vendor":"digital"},{"product":"freebsd","vendor":"freebsd"},{"product":"hp-ux","vendor":"hp"},{"product":"aix","vendor":"ibm"},{"product":"netbsd","vendor":"netbsd"},{"product":"nextstep","vendor":"next"},{"product":"solaris","vendor":"oracle"},{"product":"sunos","vendor":"sun"}],"cvss":{"score":10,"severity":"critical","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-120","name":"Buffer Copy without Checking Size of Input"}],"description":"Buffer overflow of rlogin program using TERM environmental variable.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":1,"first_seen":"1996-12-04","github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"1996-12-04","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"19203","stars":null,"title":"BSD/OS 2.1 / DG/UX 4.0 / Debian 0.93 / Digital UNIX 4.0 B / FreeBSD 2.1.5 / HP-UX 10.34 / IBM AIX 4.1.5 / NetBSD 1.0/1.1 / NeXTstep 4.0 / SGI IRIX 6.3 / SunOS 4.1.4 - 'rlogin' Local Privilege Escalation"}],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-1999-0046","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"debian:debian_linux","products":["debian:debian_linux","freebsd:freebsd","hp:hp-ux","ibm:aix","netbsd:netbsd","oracle:solaris","sun:sunos"],"type":"memory_corruption","year":"1999"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-1999-0047"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Information disclosure in n/a","id":"CVE-1999-0045"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"1999-09-29","related":[{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Security feature bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-1999-0323","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2000-06-02"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"NFS cache poisoning.","id":"CVE-1999-0165","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2000-02-04"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-1999-0798","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2000-02-04"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-1999-0879","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2000-01-04"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-1999-0002","kev_date_added":null,"published":"1999-09-29"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-1999-0009","kev_date_added":null,"published":"1999-09-29"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-1999-0042","kev_date_added":null,"published":"1999-09-29"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"GPL-2.0-or-later","name":"Exploit-DB"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-01","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"A buffer overflow in the rlogin program via the TERM environment variable allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-1999-0046/"}
