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-2002-1506 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-2002-1506/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2002-1506/index.md)","id":"CVE-2002-1506","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2002-1506/index.md","name":"CVE-2002-1506","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-fp37-6m3m-pxjx"],"analysis":{"component_type":"operating_system","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution","privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux system configuration","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Local attackers can execute arbitrary code via a buffer overflow in Linuxconf using a long environment variable, leading to privilege escalation.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"memory_corruption"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"linuxconf","vendor":"jacques_gelinas"}],"cvss":{"score":7.2,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:L/AC:L/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[],"description":"Buffer overflow in Linuxconf before 1.28r4 allows local users to execute arbitrary code via a long LINUXCONF_LANG environment variable, which overflows an error string that is generated.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":3,"first_seen":"2002-08-28","github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2002-08-28","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"21761","stars":null,"title":"Linuxconf 1.1.x/1.2.x - Local Environment Variable Buffer Overflow (1)"},{"date":"2002-08-28","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"21762","stars":null,"title":"Linuxconf 1.1.x/1.2.x - Local Environment Variable Buffer Overflow (2)"},{"date":"2002-08-28","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"21763","stars":null,"title":"Linuxconf 1.1.x/1.2.x - Local Environment Variable Buffer Overflow (3)"}],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2002-1506","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"memory_corruption","year":"2002"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":5,"next":{"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2002-1507"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"SQL injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2002-1505"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2003-03-18","related":[{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Misconfiguration in n/a","id":"CVE-2002-1278","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2004-09-01"}],"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 via a buffer overflow in Linuxconf using a long environment variable, leading to privilege escalation.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2002-1506/"}
