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-2004-2303 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-2004-2303/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2004-2303/index.md)","id":"CVE-2004-2303","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2004-2303/index.md","name":"CVE-2004-2303","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2004-2303","GHSA-5hvr-27m8-r592"],"analysis":{"component_type":"operating_system","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_read","data_modify"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":true,"product_category":"Linux disk utility","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Local users can read or overwrite files due to insecure permissions in the setuid root mformat utility.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"misconfiguration"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"mformat","vendor":"mtools"}],"cvss":{"score":3.6,"severity":"low","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:L/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:N","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[],"description":"MTools Mformat before 3.9.9, when installed setuid root, creates files with world-readable and world-writable permissions, which allows local users to read and overwrite files.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":1,"first_seen":"2004-02-25","github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2004-02-25","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"23759","stars":null,"title":"MTools 3.9.x - 'MFormat' Local Privilege Escalation"}],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"Misconfiguration in n/a","id":"CVE-2004-2303","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"misconfiguration","year":"2004"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":3,"next":{"headline":"Integer overflow in n/a","id":"CVE-2004-2304"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Race condition in n/a","id":"CVE-2004-2302"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2005-08-16","related":[],"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 users can read or overwrite files due to insecure permissions in the setuid root mformat utility.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2004-2303/"}
