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-2003-0462 exists.\n\nAffected product: Linux kernel. 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-2003-0462/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2003-0462/index.md)","id":"CVE-2003-0462","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2003-0462/index.md","name":"CVE-2003-0462","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-q96r-f8gg-v2g6"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A race condition in the Linux kernel execve system call allows local users to cause a denial of service via a crash.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"race_condition"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"linux_kernel","vendor":"linux"},{"product":"mandrake_linux","vendor":"mandrakesoft"},{"product":"mandrake_linux_corporate_server","vendor":"mandrakesoft"},{"product":"mandrake_multi_network_firewall","vendor":"mandrakesoft"}],"cvss":{"score":1.2,"severity":"low","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:L/AC:H/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:P","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[],"description":"A race condition in the way env_start and env_end pointers are initialized in the execve system call and used in fs/proc/base.c on Linux 2.4 allows local users to cause a denial of service (crash).","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":1,"first_seen":"2003-06-26","github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2003-06-26","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"22840","stars":null,"title":"Linux Kernel 2.4 - SUID 'execve()' System Call Race Condition Executable File Read"}],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"Race condition in n/a","id":"CVE-2003-0462","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"linux:linux_kernel","products":["linux:linux_kernel","mandrakesoft:mandrake_linux","mandrakesoft:mandrake_linux_corporate_server"],"type":"race_condition","year":"2003"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":6,"next":{"headline":"DO NOT USE THIS CANDIDATE NUMBER.","id":"CVE-2003-0463"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"/proc/tty/driver/serial in Linux 2.4.x reveals the exact number of characters used in serial links, which could allow local users to obtain","id":"CVE-2003-0461"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2003-07-25","related":[{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Linux Kernel Out-of-Bounds Write","id":"CVE-2026-53266","kev_date_added":"2026-09-18","published":"2026-06-25"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Linux Kernel Improper Input Validation","id":"CVE-2013-6282","kev_date_added":"2022-09-15","published":"2013-11-19"},{"cvss_score":8.4,"headline":"Linux Kernel Heap-Based Buffer Overflow","id":"CVE-2022-0185","kev_date_added":"2024-08-21","published":"2022-02-11"},{"cvss_score":8.4,"headline":"Linux Kernel Privilege Escalation","id":"CVE-2013-2094","kev_date_added":"2022-09-15","published":"2013-05-14"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Linux Kernel Unspecified","id":"CVE-2026-53362","kev_date_added":"2026-08-27","published":"2026-07-04"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Linux Kernel Missing Initialization of a Variable","id":"CVE-2026-46300","kev_date_added":"2026-10-28","published":"2026-05-23"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Linux Kernel Race Condition","id":"CVE-2025-39964","kev_date_added":"2026-09-18","published":"2025-10-13"}],"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":"A race condition in the Linux kernel execve system call allows local users to cause a denial of service via a crash.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2003-0462/"}
