It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-1999-0691 exists.\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-1999-0691/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-1999-0691/index.md)","id":"CVE-1999-0691","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-1999-0691/index.md","name":"CVE-1999-0691","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-rq63-6647-rqxc"],"analysis":{"component_type":"operating_system","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"CDE dtaction utility","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Local attackers can exploit a buffer overflow in the CDE dtaction utility to gain root privileges via a long username.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"memory_corruption"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"cde","vendor":"cde"},{"product":"unix","vendor":"digital"},{"product":"aix","vendor":"ibm"},{"product":"solaris","vendor":"sun"},{"product":"sunos","vendor":"sun"}],"cvss":{"score":7.2,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:L/AC:L/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[],"description":"Buffer overflow in the AddSuLog function of the CDE dtaction utility allows local users to gain root privileges via a long user name.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":1,"first_seen":"1999-09-13","github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"1999-09-13","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"19497","stars":null,"title":"DIGITAL UNIX 4.0 d/e/f / AIX 4.3.2 / CDE 2.1 / IRIX 6.5.14 / Solaris 7.0 - Local Buffer Overflow"}],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-1999-0691","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":4,"next":{"headline":"Auth bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-1999-0692"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-1999-0690"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2000-01-04","related":[{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Auth bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-1999-0687","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2000-01-04"},{"cvss_score":7.2,"headline":"Path traversal in n/a","id":"CVE-1999-0689","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2000-01-04"},{"cvss_score":7.2,"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-1999-0690","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2000-01-04"},{"cvss_score":7.2,"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-1999-0713","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2000-01-04"},{"cvss_score":7.2,"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-1999-0014","kev_date_added":null,"published":"1999-09-29"},{"cvss_score":7.2,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-1999-0112","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)"},{"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":"Local attackers can exploit a buffer overflow in the CDE dtaction utility to gain root privileges via a long username.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-1999-0691/"}
