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: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2001-0906 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-2001-0906/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2001-0906/index.md)","id":"CVE-2001-0906","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2001-0906/index.md","name":"CVE-2001-0906","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-2crw-gg34-7j66"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"teTeX filter","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Local attackers can gain privileges via symlink attacks on temporary files during DVI printing in teTeX filter.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"path_traversal"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"tetex","vendor":"tetex"}],"cvss":{"score":6.2,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:L/AC:H/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[],"description":"teTeX filter before 1.0.7 allows local users to gain privileges via a symlink attack on temporary files that are produced when printing .dvi files using lpr.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":1,"first_seen":"2001-06-22","github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2001-06-22","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"20990","stars":null,"title":"teTeX 1.0.7 - Filters Temporary File Race Condition"}],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Path traversal in n/a","id":"CVE-2001-0906","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"path_traversal","year":"2001"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":6,"next":{"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2001-0907"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Race condition in n/a","id":"CVE-2001-0905"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2002-06-25","related":[{"cvss_score":6.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2007-5935","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2007-11-13"},{"cvss_score":6.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2007-5937","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2007-11-13"},{"cvss_score":3.6,"headline":"Race condition in n/a","id":"CVE-2007-5936","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2007-11-13"}],"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 via symlink attacks on temporary files during DVI printing in teTeX filter.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2001-0906/"}
