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-1999-0988 exists.\n\nAffected product: Sco Unixware. 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-1999-0988/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-1999-0988/index.md)","id":"CVE-1999-0988","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-1999-0988/index.md","name":"CVE-1999-0988","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-wjmv-3x5x-4vh5"],"analysis":{"component_type":"operating_system","fix_type":"no_fix_stated","impacts":["data_read"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"UnixWare OS","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Local attackers can read arbitrary files on UnixWare systems via a symlink attack in the pkgtrans utility.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"path_traversal"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"unixware","vendor":"sco"}],"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":"UnixWare pkgtrans allows local users to read arbitrary files via a symlink attack.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":1,"first_seen":"1999-12-06","github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"1999-12-06","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"19661","stars":null,"title":"SCO Unixware 7.1 pkginstall - Local Buffer Overflow"}],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Path traversal in n/a","id":"CVE-1999-0988","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"sco:unixware","products":["sco:unixware"],"type":"path_traversal","year":"1999"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-1999-0989"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Auth bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-1999-0987"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2000-02-04","related":[{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2000-0348","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2001-05-07"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Path traversal in n/a","id":"CVE-1999-0836","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2000-06-02"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2000-0003","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2000-03-22"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2000-0026","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2000-03-22"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2009-1552","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2009-05-06"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Code injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2000-1014","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2001-01-22"},{"cvss_score":7.2,"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-6558","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2009-03-30"}],"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 read arbitrary files on UnixWare systems via a symlink attack in the pkgtrans utility.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-1999-0988/"}
