An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2003-0161 exists.\n\nAffected product: Hp Hp-Ux. 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-2003-0161/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2003-0161/index.md)","id":"CVE-2003-0161","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2003-0161/index.md","name":"CVE-2003-0161","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2003-0161","DSA-278","DSA-290","GHSA-2259-4w76-9w2p"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution","denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Sendmail mail server","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can trigger a buffer overflow in Sendmail's address parser to execute arbitrary code or cause denial of service.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"memory_corruption"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"tru64","vendor":"compaq"},{"product":"hp-ux","vendor":"hp"},{"product":"hp-ux_series_700","vendor":"hp"},{"product":"hp-ux_series_800","vendor":"hp"},{"product":"sis","vendor":"hp"},{"product":"sendmail","vendor":"sendmail"},{"product":"sendmail_switch","vendor":"sendmail"},{"product":"solaris","vendor":"sun"},{"product":"sunos","vendor":"sun"}],"cvss":{"score":10,"severity":"critical","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[],"description":"The prescan() function in the address parser (parseaddr.c) in Sendmail before 8.12.9 does not properly handle certain conversions from char and int types, which can cause a length check to be disabled when Sendmail misinterprets an input value as a special \"NOCHAR\" control value, allowing attackers to cause a denial of service and possibly execute arbitrary code via a buffer overflow attack using messages, a different vulnerability than CVE-2002-1337.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":2,"first_seen":"2003-03-29","github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2003-03-29","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"22442","stars":null,"title":"Sendmail 8.11.6 - Address Prescan Memory Corruption"},{"date":"2003-04-30","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"24","stars":null,"title":"Sendmail 8.12.8 (BSD) - 'Prescan()' Remote Command Execution"}],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2003-0161","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"hp:hp-ux","products":["hp:hp-ux","sun:solaris","sun:sunos"],"type":"memory_corruption","year":"2003"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":25,"next":{"headline":"Business logic in n/a","id":"CVE-2003-0162"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2003-0160"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2003-04-01","related":[{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2003-0196","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2003-04-15"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2002-2002","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2005-07-14"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2003-0724","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2003-09-03"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Information disclosure in n/a","id":"CVE-2002-1202","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2002-10-15"},{"cvss_score":7.2,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2002-0816","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2003-04-02"},{"cvss_score":7.2,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2002-1129","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2002-09-24"}],"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":"Remote attackers can trigger a buffer overflow in Sendmail's address parser to execute arbitrary code or cause denial of service.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2003-0161/"}
