It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2000-0579 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-2000-0579/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2000-0579/index.md)","id":"CVE-2000-0579","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2000-0579/index.md","name":"CVE-2000-0579","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-pxpj-c4wv-6w3x"],"analysis":{"component_type":"operating_system","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["privilege_escalation","data_modify"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"IRIX crontab","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Local attackers can modify other users' crontab files via predictable temporary file names during editing, leading to privilege escalation.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"race_condition"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"irix","vendor":"sgi"}],"cvss":{"score":3.7,"severity":"low","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:L/AC:H/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[],"description":"IRIX crontab creates temporary files with predictable file names and with the umask of the user, which could allow local users to modify another user's crontab file as it is being edited.","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":"Race condition in n/a","id":"CVE-2000-0579","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"sgi:irix","products":["sgi:irix"],"type":"race_condition","year":"2000"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2000-0580"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Race condition in n/a","id":"CVE-2000-0578"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2000-10-13","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":"2024-08-08","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Local attackers can modify other users' crontab files via predictable temporary file names during editing, leading to privilege escalation.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2000-0579/"}
