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-1999-0746 exists.\n\nAffected product: Slackware Slackware 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-1999-0746/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-1999-0746/index.md)","id":"CVE-1999-0746","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-1999-0746/index.md","name":"CVE-1999-0746","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-868p-j55q-vf55"],"analysis":{"component_type":"operating_system","fix_type":"configuration_change","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"SuSE Linux identd","requires_auth":"none","summary":"A remote attacker can cause a denial of service against SuSE Linux systems by exploiting the default 120-second delay in the identd service.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"denial_of_service"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"slackware_linux","vendor":"slackware"},{"product":"suse_linux","vendor":"suse"}],"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":"A default configuration of in.identd in SuSE Linux waits 120 seconds between requests, allowing a remote attacker to conduct a denial of service.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":1,"first_seen":"1999-08-16","github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"1999-08-16","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"19463","stars":null,"title":"SuSE Linux 6.2 / Slackware Linux 3.2/3.6 - 'identd' Denial of Service"}],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-1999-0746","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"slackware:slackware_linux","products":["slackware:slackware_linux","suse:suse_linux"],"type":"denial_of_service","year":"1999"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-1999-0747"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-1999-0745"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2000-03-22","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Misconfiguration in n/a","id":"CVE-2013-7171","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-11-21"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2013-7172","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-11-21"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Security feature bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2003-0335","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2003-05-23"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Information disclosure in n/a","id":"CVE-1999-0242","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2000-02-04"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Path traversal in n/a","id":"CVE-1999-0298","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2000-02-04"},{"cvss_score":7.2,"headline":"Misconfiguration in n/a","id":"CVE-1999-1422","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2001-09-12"},{"cvss_score":7.2,"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-1999-1434","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2001-09-12"}],"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":"A remote attacker can cause a denial of service against SuSE Linux systems by exploiting the default 120-second delay in the identd service.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-1999-0746/"}
