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-1999-0368 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-1999-0368/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-1999-0368/index.md)","id":"CVE-1999-0368","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-1999-0368/index.md","name":"CVE-1999-0368","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-pjq9-4mrj-pv4g"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution","privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"FTP server software","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can exploit buffer overflows in wu-ftpd and ProFTPD to gain root access without authentication.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"memory_corruption"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"openlinux","vendor":"caldera"},{"product":"debian_linux","vendor":"debian"},{"product":"proftpd","vendor":"proftpd_project"},{"product":"linux","vendor":"redhat"},{"product":"openserver","vendor":"sco"},{"product":"unixware","vendor":"sco"},{"product":"slackware_linux","vendor":"slackware"},{"product":"wu-ftpd","vendor":"washington_university"}],"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 overflows in wuarchive ftpd (wu-ftpd) and ProFTPD lead to remote root access, a.k.a. palmetto.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":2,"first_seen":"1999-02-09","github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"1999-02-09","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"19086","stars":null,"title":"WU-FTPD 2.4.2 / SCO Open Server 5.0.5 / ProFTPd 1.2 pre1 - 'realpath' Remote Buffer Overflow (1)"},{"date":"1999-02-09","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"19087","stars":null,"title":"WU-FTPD 2.4.2 / SCO Open Server 5.0.5 / ProFTPd 1.2 pre1 - 'realpath' Remote Buffer Overflow (2)"}],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-1999-0368","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"debian:debian_linux","products":["debian:debian_linux","redhat:linux","sco:openserver","sco:unixware","slackware:slackware_linux"],"type":"memory_corruption","year":"1999"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-1999-0369"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Information disclosure in n/a","id":"CVE-1999-0367"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"1999-09-29","related":[{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2001-0850","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2002-03-09"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Code injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2000-0844","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2001-01-22"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Code injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2000-0917","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2001-01-22"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Misconfiguration in n/a","id":"CVE-2000-0374","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2000-10-13"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Command injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2000-0370","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2000-07-12"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2000-0491","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2000-07-12"}],"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)"},{"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":"Remote attackers can exploit buffer overflows in wu-ftpd and ProFTPD to gain root access without authentication.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-1999-0368/"}
