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-1999-1008 exists.\n\nAffected product: Freebsd Freebsd. 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-1999-1008/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-1999-1008/index.md)","id":"CVE-1999-1008","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-1999-1008/index.md","name":"CVE-1999-1008","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-6ww3-wprw-46qp"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"no_fix_stated","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"xsoldier game","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Local users can gain root access by providing a long argument to the xsoldier program.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"freebsd","vendor":"freebsd"},{"product":"mandrake_linux","vendor":"mandrakesoft"}],"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":"xsoldier program allows local users to gain root access via a long argument.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":3,"first_seen":"2000-05-17","github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2000-05-17","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"19676","stars":null,"title":"xsoldier (FreeBSD 3.3/Linux Mandrake 7.0) - Local Buffer Overflow (1)"},{"date":"2000-05-17","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"19677","stars":null,"title":"xsoldier (FreeBSD 3.3/Linux Mandrake 7.0) - Local Buffer Overflow (2)"},{"date":"2000-12-15","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"229","stars":null,"title":"xsoldier 0.96 (RedHat 6.2) - Local Buffer Overflow"}],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-1999-1008","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"freebsd:freebsd","products":["freebsd:freebsd","mandrakesoft:mandrake_linux"],"type":"privilege_escalation","year":"1999"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"Missing authorization in n/a","id":"CVE-1999-1009"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-1999-1007"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2000-04-18","related":[{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Memory corruption in FreeBSD","id":"CVE-2018-17160","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2018-12-04"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2014-3954","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2014-10-27"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2006-4304","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2006-08-24"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Integer overflow in n/a","id":"CVE-2006-0226","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2006-01-19"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2004-0002","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2004-02-03"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Security feature bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2001-0969","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2002-03-09"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2001-0388","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2001-09-18"}],"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 users can gain root access by providing a long argument to the xsoldier program.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-1999-1008/"}
