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-1999-0740 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Redhat 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-1999-0740/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-1999-0740/index.md)","id":"CVE-1999-0740","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-1999-0740/index.md","name":"CVE-1999-0740","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-chv2-pxjh-365q"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux telnet daemon","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can cause a denial of service on the Linux telnet daemon by sending a malformed TERM environmental variable.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"denial_of_service"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"linux","vendor":"redhat"}],"cvss":{"score":6.4,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:N/A:P","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[],"description":"Remote attackers can cause a denial of service on Linux in.telnetd telnet daemon through a malformed TERM environmental variable.","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-1999-0740","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"redhat:linux","products":["redhat:linux"],"type":"denial_of_service","year":"1999"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Auth bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-1999-0741"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Path traversal in n/a","id":"CVE-1999-0739"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2000-03-22","related":[{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2000-1220","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2005-04-21"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2003-0248","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2003-06-05"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Command injection in n/a","id":"CVE-1999-1542","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2002-03-09"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-1999-1299","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2001-09-12"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Command injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2000-0322","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2000-10-13"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Hardcoded credentials in n/a","id":"CVE-2000-0248","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2000-04-26"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Weak cryptography in n/a","id":"CVE-2000-0093","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2000-02-08"}],"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":"Remote attackers can cause a denial of service on the Linux telnet daemon by sending a malformed TERM environmental variable.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-1999-0740/"}
