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-1999-0959 exists.\n\nAffected product: Sgi Irix. 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-1999-0959/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-1999-0959/index.md)","id":"CVE-1999-0959","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-1999-0959/index.md","name":"CVE-1999-0959","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-8xqm-h8vp-397q"],"analysis":{"component_type":"operating_system","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["data_modify"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"IRIX operating system","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Local attackers can modify arbitrary files on IRIX systems via a symlink attack in the startmidi program.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"path_traversal"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"irix","vendor":"sgi"}],"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":"IRIX startmidi program allows local users to modify arbitrary files via a symlink attack.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":1,"first_seen":"1997-02-09","github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"1997-02-09","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"19355","stars":null,"title":"SGI IRIX 6.4 - 'startmidi' Local Privilege Escalation"}],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Path traversal in n/a","id":"CVE-1999-0959","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"sgi:irix","products":["sgi:irix"],"type":"path_traversal","year":"1999"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":4,"next":{"headline":"Path traversal in n/a","id":"CVE-1999-0960"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-1999-0958"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2000-07-12","related":[{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2002-1584","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2005-02-08"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Other in n/a","id":"CVE-2004-0139","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2004-12-08"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2003-0575","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2003-08-01"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2003-0473","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2003-06-28"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Auth bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2002-0359","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2003-04-02"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2001-0799","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2001-11-22"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Command injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2001-0800","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2001-11-22"}],"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 modify arbitrary files on IRIX systems via a symlink attack in the startmidi program.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-1999-0959/"}
