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-2001-0623 exists.\n\nAffected product: n/a. 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-2001-0623/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2001-0623/index.md)","id":"CVE-2001-0623","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2001-0623/index.md","name":"CVE-2001-0623","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-7pw9-r7h7-2x88"],"analysis":{"component_type":"operating_system","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux SAFT utility","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Local attackers can gain privileges because the sendfiled utility fails to drop privileges when sending notification emails.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"sendfile","vendor":"sendfile"}],"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":"sendfiled, as included with Simple Asynchronous File Transfer (SAFT), on various Linux systems does not properly drop privileges when sending notification emails, which allows local attackers to gain privileges.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":2,"first_seen":"2001-04-24","github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2001-04-24","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"20795","stars":null,"title":"Sendfile 1.x/2.1 - Local Privileged Arbitrary Command Execution"},{"date":"2001-04-24","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"20798","stars":null,"title":"Sendfile 1.x/2.1 - Forced Privilege Lowering Failure"}],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2001-0623","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"privilege_escalation","year":"2001"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":3,"next":{"headline":"QNX 2.4 allows a local user to read arbitrary files by directly accessing the mount point for the FAT disk partition, e.g.","id":"CVE-2001-0624"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Missing authorization in n/a","id":"CVE-2001-0622"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2001-07-27","related":[],"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 gain privileges because the sendfiled utility fails to drop privileges when sending notification emails.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2001-0623/"}
