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-2000-0438 exists.\n\nAffected product: Slackware Slackware 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-2000-0438/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2000-0438/index.md)","id":"CVE-2000-0438","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2000-0438/index.md","name":"CVE-2000-0438","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-fg2g-48g8-4xwm"],"analysis":{"component_type":"operating_system","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution","privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux floppy mount utility","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Local users in the floppy group can execute arbitrary commands via a buffer overflow in fdmount, leading to privilege escalation.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"memory_corruption"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"openlinux","vendor":"caldera"},{"product":"slackware_linux","vendor":"slackware"},{"product":"suse_linux","vendor":"suse"},{"product":"turbolinux","vendor":"turbolinux"}],"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 fdmount on Linux systems allows local users in the \"floppy\" group to execute arbitrary commands via a long mountpoint parameter.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":3,"first_seen":"2000-05-22","github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2000-05-22","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"19952","stars":null,"title":"S.u.S.E Linux 4.x/5.x/6.x/7.0 / Slackware 3.x/4.0 / Turbolinux 6 / OpenLinux 7.0 - 'fdmount' Local Buffer Overflow (1)"},{"date":"2000-05-22","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"19953","stars":null,"title":"S.u.S.E Linux 4.x/5.x/6.x/7.0 / Slackware 3.x/4.0 / Turbolinux 6 / OpenLinux 7.0 - 'fdmount' Local Buffer Overflow (2)"},{"date":"2000-05-22","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"19954","stars":null,"title":"S.u.S.E Linux 4.x/5.x/6.x/7.0 / Slackware 3.x/4.0 / Turbolinux 6 / OpenLinux 7.0 - 'fdmount' Local Buffer Overflow (3)"}],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2000-0438","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"slackware:slackware_linux","products":["slackware:slackware_linux","suse:suse_linux"],"type":"memory_corruption","year":"2000"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"Information disclosure in n/a","id":"CVE-2000-0439"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2000-0437"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2000-07-12","related":[{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2001-0850","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2002-03-09"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Code injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2000-0844","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2001-01-22"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Code injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2000-0917","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2001-01-22"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Misconfiguration in n/a","id":"CVE-2000-0374","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2000-10-13"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Command injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2000-0370","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2000-07-12"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2000-0491","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2000-07-12"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-1999-0368","kev_date_added":null,"published":"1999-09-29"}],"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":"2024-08-08","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Local users in the floppy group can execute arbitrary commands via a buffer overflow in fdmount, leading to privilege escalation.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2000-0438/"}
