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-1999-1185 exists.\n\nAffected product: Sco Openserver. 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-1999-1185/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-1999-1185/index.md)","id":"CVE-1999-1185","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-1999-1185/index.md","name":"CVE-1999-1185","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-vj3r-fw7h-xqg9"],"analysis":{"component_type":"operating_system","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["privilege_escalation","code_execution"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"SCO Unix utility","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Local attackers can exploit a buffer overflow in SCO mscreen to gain root privileges via a crafted configuration file.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"memory_corruption"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"cmw","vendor":"sco"},{"product":"internet_faststart","vendor":"sco"},{"product":"open_desktop","vendor":"sco"},{"product":"openserver","vendor":"sco"},{"product":"openserver_enterprise_system","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":"Buffer overflow in SCO mscreen allows local users to gain root privileges via a long terminal entry (TERM) in the .mscreenrc file.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":1,"first_seen":"2001-01-26","github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2001-01-26","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"261","stars":null,"title":"SCO OpenServer 5.0.5 - Env Local Stack Overflow"}],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-1999-1185","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"sco:openserver","products":["sco:openserver"],"type":"memory_corruption","year":"1999"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-1999-1186"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-1999-1184"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2001-09-12","related":[],"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 exploit a buffer overflow in SCO mscreen to gain root privileges via a crafted configuration file.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-1999-1185/"}
