It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-1999-0446 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Netbsd Netbsd. 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-1999-0446/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-1999-0446/index.md)","id":"CVE-1999-0446","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-1999-0446/index.md","name":"CVE-1999-0446","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-xhjh-662r-5x5g"],"analysis":{"component_type":"operating_system","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"NetBSD OS","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Local users can cause a denial of service in NetBSD by creating a specific symbolic link, triggering a VFS bug.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"denial_of_service"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"netbsd","vendor":"netbsd"}],"cvss":{"score":2.1,"severity":"low","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:L/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:P","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[],"description":"Local users can perform a denial of service in NetBSD 1.3.3 and earlier versions by creating an unusual symbolic link with the ln command, triggering a bug in VFS.","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":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-1999-0446","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"netbsd:netbsd","products":["netbsd:netbsd"],"type":"denial_of_service","year":"1999"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-1999-0447"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Security feature bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-1999-0445"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"1999-09-29","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Security feature bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-1000374","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-06-19"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-1000375","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-06-19"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-1000378","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-06-19"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Command injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2015-8212","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-01-19"},{"cvss_score":9.3,"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-3584","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2008-09-11"},{"cvss_score":9.3,"headline":"Security feature bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-1335","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2008-03-13"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Path traversal in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-6253","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-01-20"}],"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":"Local users can cause a denial of service in NetBSD by creating a specific symbolic link, triggering a VFS bug.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-1999-0446/"}
