An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-1999-0099 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Ibm Aix. 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-1999-0099/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-1999-0099/index.md)","id":"CVE-1999-0099","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-1999-0099/index.md","name":"CVE-1999-0099","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-hp95-85f4-42g2"],"analysis":{"component_type":"operating_system","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["privilege_escalation","code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"syslog utility","requires_auth":"none","summary":"A buffer overflow in the syslog utility allows attackers to gain root privileges via local or remote access.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"memory_corruption"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"bsd_os","vendor":"bsdi"},{"product":"convexos","vendor":"convex"},{"product":"spp-ux","vendor":"convex"},{"product":"unicos","vendor":"cray"},{"product":"aix","vendor":"ibm"},{"product":"solaris","vendor":"sun"},{"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":[],"description":"Buffer overflow in syslog utility allows local or remote attackers to gain root privileges.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-1999-0099","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"ibm:aix","products":["ibm:aix","sun:solaris","sun:sunos"],"type":"memory_corruption","year":"1999"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Auth bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-1999-0100"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-1999-0098"},"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":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-01","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"A buffer overflow in the syslog utility allows attackers to gain root privileges via local or remote access.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-1999-0099/"}
