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-1999-1296 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Mit Kerberos 5. 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-1999-1296/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-1999-1296/index.md)","id":"CVE-1999-1296","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-1999-1296/index.md","name":"CVE-1999-1296","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-crq7-q2h2-v5r9"],"analysis":{"component_type":"operating_system","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Kerberos compatibility library","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Local attackers can gain root privileges via a buffer overflow in Kerberos IV compatibility libraries triggered by a malicious configuration file.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"memory_corruption"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"kerberos_5","vendor":"mit"}],"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 Kerberos IV compatibility libraries as used in Kerberos V allows local users to gain root privileges via a long line in a kerberos configuration file, which can be specified via the KRB_CONF environmental variable.","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":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-1999-1296","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"mit:kerberos_5","products":["mit:kerberos_5"],"type":"memory_corruption","year":"1999"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"cmdtool in OpenWindows 3.0 and XView 3.0 in SunOS 4.1.4 and earlier allows attackers with physical access to the system to display unechoed","id":"CVE-1999-1297"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Auth bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-1999-1295"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2001-09-12","related":[{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Use after free in n/a","id":"CVE-2011-0285","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2011-04-15"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-0947","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2008-03-19"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Integer overflow in n/a","id":"CVE-2007-5902","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2007-12-06"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2007-4743","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2007-09-06"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2007-3999","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2007-09-05"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Missing authorization in n/a","id":"CVE-2000-0514","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2000-10-13"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in krb5 1.5","id":"CVE-2017-15088","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-11-23"}],"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 gain root privileges via a buffer overflow in Kerberos IV compatibility libraries triggered by a malicious configuration file.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-1999-1296/"}
