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-1999-1491 exists.\n\nAffected product: Redhat Linux. 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-1999-1491/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-1999-1491/index.md)","id":"CVE-1999-1491","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-1999-1491/index.md","name":"CVE-1999-1491","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-33qc-p77x-82rf"],"analysis":{"component_type":"operating_system","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution","privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Red Hat Linux","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Local attackers can execute arbitrary commands by exploiting relative pathnames in abuse.console to run a Trojan horse program.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"path_traversal"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"linux","vendor":"redhat"}],"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":"abuse.console in Red Hat 2.1 uses relative pathnames to find and execute the undrv program, which allows local users to execute arbitrary commands via a path that points to a Trojan horse program.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":1,"first_seen":"1996-02-02","github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"1996-02-02","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"19279","stars":null,"title":"RedHat Linux 2.1 - 'abuse.console' Local Privilege Escalation"}],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Path traversal in n/a","id":"CVE-1999-1491","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"redhat:linux","products":["redhat:linux"],"type":"path_traversal","year":"1999"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"Vulnerability in (1) diskperf and (2) diskalign in IRIX 6.4 allows local attacker to create arbitrary root owned files, leading to root privileges.","id":"CVE-1999-1492"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-1999-1490"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2001-09-12","related":[{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2000-1220","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2005-04-21"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2003-0248","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2003-06-05"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Command injection in n/a","id":"CVE-1999-1542","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2002-03-09"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-1999-1299","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2001-09-12"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Command injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2000-0322","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2000-10-13"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Hardcoded credentials in n/a","id":"CVE-2000-0248","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2000-04-26"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Weak cryptography in n/a","id":"CVE-2000-0093","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2000-02-08"}],"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 execute arbitrary commands by exploiting relative pathnames in abuse.console to run a Trojan horse program.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-1999-1491/"}
