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-1999-1317 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Microsoft Windows Nt. 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-1999-1317/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-1999-1317/index.md)","id":"CVE-1999-1317","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-1999-1317/index.md","name":"CVE-1999-1317","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-fgh9-68h7-45xw"],"analysis":{"component_type":"operating_system","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Windows NT OS","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Local attackers can escalate privileges by exploiting case-insensitive symbolic link handling in the Windows NT object namespace.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"windows_nt","vendor":"microsoft"}],"cvss":{"score":4.6,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:L/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[],"description":"Windows NT 4.0 SP4 and earlier allows local users to gain privileges by modifying the symbolic link table in the \\?? object folder using a different case letter (upper or lower) to point to a different device.","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":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-1999-1317","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"microsoft:windows_nt","products":["microsoft:windows_nt"],"type":"privilege_escalation","year":"1999"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":4,"next":{"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-1999-1318"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Weak cryptography in n/a","id":"CVE-1999-1316"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2002-03-09","related":[{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"The DHCP Server service for Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 Server and Terminal Server Edition does not properly validate the length of certain mes","id":"CVE-2004-0900","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2004-12-15"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"The default permissions for the RAS Administration key in Windows NT 4.0 allows local users to execute arbitrary commands by changing the va","id":"CVE-2001-0045","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2001-02-02"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Windows NT 4.0 beta allows users to read and delete shares.","id":"CVE-1999-0119","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2000-02-04"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-1999-0226","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2000-02-04"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-1999-0285","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2000-02-04"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Other in n/a","id":"CVE-1999-0489","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2000-02-04"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Misconfiguration in n/a","id":"CVE-1999-0560","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2000-02-04"}],"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 escalate privileges by exploiting case-insensitive symbolic link handling in the Windows NT object namespace.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-1999-1317/"}
