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-1999-1501 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Sgi Irix. 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-1999-1501/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-1999-1501/index.md)","id":"CVE-1999-1501","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-1999-1501/index.md","name":"CVE-1999-1501","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-442g-whj9-hm26"],"analysis":{"component_type":"operating_system","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution","privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"SGI IRIX OS","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Local attackers can execute arbitrary commands via environment variable manipulation in SGI IRIX utilities, leading to privilege escalation.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"command_injection"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"irix","vendor":"sgi"}],"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":"(1) ipxchk and (2) ipxlink in SGI OS2 IRIX 6.3 does not properly clear the IFS environmental variable before executing system calls, which allows local users to execute arbitrary commands.","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":"Command injection in n/a","id":"CVE-1999-1501","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"sgi:irix","products":["sgi:irix"],"type":"command_injection","year":"1999"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":3,"next":{"headline":"Buffer overflows in Quake 1.9 client allows remote malicious servers to execute arbitrary commands via long (1) precache paths, (2) server n","id":"CVE-1999-1502"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-1999-1500"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2001-09-12","related":[{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2002-1584","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2005-02-08"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Other in n/a","id":"CVE-2004-0139","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2004-12-08"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2003-0575","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2003-08-01"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2003-0473","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2003-06-28"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Auth bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2002-0359","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2003-04-02"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2001-0799","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2001-11-22"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Command injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2001-0800","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2001-11-22"}],"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 execute arbitrary commands via environment variable manipulation in SGI IRIX utilities, leading to privilege escalation.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-1999-1501/"}
