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-2001-0641 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-2001-0641/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2001-0641/index.md)","id":"CVE-2001-0641","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2001-0641/index.md","name":"CVE-2001-0641","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-x5hv-pj66-v68q"],"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 man utility","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Local attackers can execute arbitrary code with group man privileges via a buffer overflow in the Linux man program's -S option.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"memory_corruption"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"immunix","vendor":"immunix"},{"product":"linux","vendor":"redhat"},{"product":"suse_linux","vendor":"suse"}],"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":"Buffer overflow in man program in various distributions of Linux allows local user to execute arbitrary code as group man via a long -S option.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":1,"first_seen":"2001-05-13","github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2001-05-13","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"20843","stars":null,"title":"Immunix OS 6.2/7.0 / RedHat 5.2/6.2/7.0 / SuSE Linux 6.x/7.0/7.1 - 'Man -S' Heap Overflow"}],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2001-0641","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"redhat:linux","products":["redhat:linux","suse:suse_linux"],"type":"memory_corruption","year":"2001"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":6,"next":{"headline":"Path traversal in n/a","id":"CVE-2001-0642"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2001-0636"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2002-03-09","related":[{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2002-1565","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2003-06-05"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2000-1213","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2002-08-31"},{"cvss_score":7.2,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2000-1208","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2002-08-01"},{"cvss_score":4.6,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2000-1214","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2002-08-31"},{"cvss_score":1.2,"headline":"Path traversal in n/a","id":"CVE-2001-0116","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2001-05-07"},{"cvss_score":1.2,"headline":"Path traversal in n/a","id":"CVE-2001-0117","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2001-05-07"}],"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 execute arbitrary code with group man privileges via a buffer overflow in the Linux man program's -S option.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2001-0641/"}
