An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-1999-1033 exists.\n\nAffected product: n/a. 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-1999-1033/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-1999-1033/index.md)","id":"CVE-1999-1033","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-1999-1033/index.md","name":"CVE-1999-1033","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-935q-jf44-fq38"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Email client","requires_auth":"none","summary":"A malicious email can cause Outlook Express to hang by triggering a POP3 protocol state confusion, requiring user interaction to view the message.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"denial_of_service"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"outlook_express","vendor":"microsoft"}],"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":"Microsoft Outlook Express before 4.72.3612.1700 allows a malicious user to send a message that contains a .., which can inadvertently cause Outlook to re-enter POP3 command mode and cause the POP3 session to hang.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":1,"first_seen":"1999-05-11","github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"1999-05-11","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"19207","stars":null,"title":"Microsoft Outlook Express 4.27.3110/4.72.3120 - POP Denial of Service"}],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-1999-1033","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"denial_of_service","year":"1999"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":3,"next":{"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-1999-1034"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-1999-1032"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2001-09-12","related":[{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Security feature bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2004-0380","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2004-04-06"},{"cvss_score":9.3,"headline":"Path traversal in n/a","id":"CVE-2010-3147","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2010-08-27"},{"cvss_score":9.3,"headline":"Integer overflow in n/a","id":"CVE-2010-0816","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2010-05-12"},{"cvss_score":9.3,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2007-3897","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2007-10-09"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Security feature bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2001-1547","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2005-07-14"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2005-1213","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2005-06-14"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2002-1179","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2004-09-01"}],"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 malicious email can cause Outlook Express to hang by triggering a POP3 protocol state confusion, requiring user interaction to view the message.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-1999-1033/"}
