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-1999-1471 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: n/a. 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-1999-1471/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-1999-1471/index.md)","id":"CVE-1999-1471","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-1999-1471/index.md","name":"CVE-1999-1471","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-3x8m-r3mg-qw2f"],"analysis":{"component_type":"operating_system","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"BSD operating system","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Local attackers can gain root privileges via a buffer overflow in the passwd utility on BSD systems.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"memory_corruption"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"bsd","vendor":"bsd"}],"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 passwd in BSD based operating systems 4.3 and earlier allows local users to gain root privileges by specifying a long shell or GECOS field.","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-1999-1471","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"memory_corruption","year":"1999"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":3,"next":{"headline":"Information disclosure in n/a","id":"CVE-1999-1472"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Hardcoded credentials in n/a","id":"CVE-1999-1470"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2001-09-12","related":[{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2001-0670","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2002-03-09"},{"cvss_score":7.1,"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-4609","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2008-10-20"},{"cvss_score":5,"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2014-7250","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2014-12-12"},{"cvss_score":5,"headline":"Weak cryptography in n/a","id":"CVE-1999-1098","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2002-03-09"},{"cvss_score":2.1,"headline":"Missing authorization in n/a","id":"CVE-1999-1214","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2002-03-09"},{"cvss_score":2.1,"headline":"Security feature bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-1999-1394","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2001-09-12"}],"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 the passwd utility on BSD systems.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-1999-1471/"}
