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-1999-0566 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-1999-0566/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-1999-0566/index.md)","id":"CVE-1999-0566","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-1999-0566/index.md","name":"CVE-1999-0566","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-7cvc-2mx4-55wc"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service","other"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"syslog daemon","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can remotely write to syslog files, causing denial of service by filling logs and hiding malicious activities.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"denial_of_service"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"aix","vendor":"ibm"}],"cvss":{"score":5,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:P","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[],"description":"An attacker can write to syslog files from any location, causing a denial of service by filling up the logs, and hiding activities.","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-1999-0566","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"ibm:aix","products":["ibm:aix"],"type":"denial_of_service","year":"1999"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Misconfiguration in n/a","id":"CVE-1999-0568"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Command injection in n/a","id":"CVE-1999-0565"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"1999-09-29","related":[{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"AIX Code Execution","id":"CVE-2025-36250","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-11-13"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"IBM AIX command execution","id":"CVE-2024-56346","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-03-18"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2010-3187","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2010-08-30"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2009-3699","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2009-10-15"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Auth bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2009-3517","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2009-10-01"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Command injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2006-5008","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2006-09-27"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2005-4272","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2005-12-15"}],"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":"Attackers can remotely write to syslog files, causing denial of service by filling logs and hiding malicious activities.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-1999-0566/"}
