It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-1999-1139 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Hp Hp-Ux. 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-1999-1139/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-1999-1139/index.md)","id":"CVE-1999-1139","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-1999-1139/index.md","name":"CVE-1999-1139","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-mxfh-mpgw-mj7f"],"analysis":{"component_type":"operating_system","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["privilege_escalation","data_modify"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"HP-UX operating system","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Local attackers can overwrite arbitrary files and gain root privileges via a symlink attack in HP-UX CUE.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"path_traversal"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"hp-ux","vendor":"hp"}],"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":"Character-Terminal User Environment (CUE) in HP-UX 11.0 and earlier allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files and gain root privileges via a symlink attack on the IOERROR.mytty file.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Path traversal in n/a","id":"CVE-1999-1139","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"hp:hp-ux","products":["hp:hp-ux"],"type":"path_traversal","year":"1999"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":5,"next":{"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-1999-1140"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Misconfiguration in n/a","id":"CVE-1999-1138"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2002-03-09","related":[{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-1668","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2008-08-13"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Missing authorization in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-1662","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2008-08-01"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2007-6425","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2008-01-23"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2007-6195","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2007-12-15"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2007-4241","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2007-08-08"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2007-0915","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2007-02-14"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Code injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2006-5558","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2006-10-27"}],"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)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-01","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Local attackers can overwrite arbitrary files and gain root privileges via a symlink attack in HP-UX CUE.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-1999-1139/"}
