An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-1999-1298 in the wild and no public exploit code.\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-1999-1298/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-1999-1298/index.md)","id":"CVE-1999-1298","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-1999-1298/index.md","name":"CVE-1999-1298","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-jgrm-9wvf-g8j4"],"analysis":{"component_type":"operating_system","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["privilege_escalation","data_read"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":true,"product_category":"FreeBSD OS","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Misconfigured anonymous FTP setup in FreeBSD allows attackers to access system resources via the ftp user account.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"misconfiguration"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"freebsd","vendor":"freebsd"}],"cvss":{"score":7.5,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[],"description":"Sysinstall in FreeBSD 2.2.1 and earlier, when configuring anonymous FTP, creates the ftp user without a password and with /bin/date as the shell, which could allow attackers to gain access to certain system resources.","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":"Misconfiguration in n/a","id":"CVE-1999-1298","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"freebsd:freebsd","products":["freebsd:freebsd"],"type":"misconfiguration","year":"1999"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":3,"next":{"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-1999-1299"},"packages":[],"prev":{"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"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2002-03-09","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)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-01","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Misconfigured anonymous FTP setup in FreeBSD allows attackers to access system resources via the ftp user account.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-1999-1298/"}
