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-2000-0829 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-2000-0829/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2000-0829/index.md)","id":"CVE-2000-0829","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2000-0829/index.md","name":"CVE-2000-0829","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-8qqw-f9rj-2mrm"],"analysis":{"component_type":"operating_system","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Red Hat Linux","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Local attackers can cause denial of service in Red Hat Linux by creating deeply nested directories in /tmp or /var/tmp, exhausting resources via tmpwatch.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"denial_of_service"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"linux","vendor":"redhat"},{"product":"tmpwatch","vendor":"redhat"}],"cvss":{"score":2.1,"severity":"low","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:L/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:P","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[],"description":"The tmpwatch utility in Red Hat Linux forks a new process for each directory level, which allows local users to cause a denial of service by creating deeply nested directories in /tmp or /var/tmp/.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":1,"first_seen":"2000-09-09","github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2000-09-09","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"20217","stars":null,"title":"RedHat Linux 6.1 i386 - Tmpwatch Recursive Write Denial of Service"}],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2000-0829","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"redhat:linux","products":["redhat:linux"],"type":"denial_of_service","year":"2000"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":4,"next":{"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2000-0830"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2000-0828"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2001-05-07","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":"2024-08-08","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Local attackers can cause denial of service in Red Hat Linux by creating deeply nested directories in /tmp or /var/tmp, exhausting resources via tmpwatch.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2000-0829/"}
