It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2004-2394 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Mandrakesoft Mandrake Linux. 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-2004-2394/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2004-2394/index.md)","id":"CVE-2004-2394","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2004-2394/index.md","name":"CVE-2004-2394","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-39q2-89f2-vxj5"],"analysis":{"component_type":"operating_system","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["security_bypass"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":true,"product_category":"Linux passwd utility","requires_auth":"none","summary":"An off-by-one error in the passwd utility reduces password entropy when using the stdin option, facilitating brute-force attacks.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"weak_cryptography"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"mandrake_linux","vendor":"mandrakesoft"},{"product":"mandrake_linux_corporate_server","vendor":"mandrakesoft"},{"product":"mandrake_multi_network_firewall","vendor":"mandrakesoft"}],"cvss":{"score":2.1,"severity":"low","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:L/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:P/A:N","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[],"description":"Off-by-one error in passwd 0.68 and earlier, when using the --stdin option, causes passwd to use the first 78 characters of a password instead of the first 79, which results in a small reduction of the search space required for brute force attacks.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Weak cryptography in n/a","id":"CVE-2004-2394","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"mandrakesoft:mandrake_linux","products":["mandrakesoft:mandrake_linux","mandrakesoft:mandrake_linux_corporate_server"],"type":"weak_cryptography","year":"2004"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":4,"next":{"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2004-2395"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Auth bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2004-2393"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2005-08-17","related":[{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2004-1187","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2004-12-22"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2004-1188","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2004-12-22"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Command injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2003-0041","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2003-02-01"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2000-1042","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2001-01-22"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2000-1043","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2001-01-22"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Security feature bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2004-1098","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2004-12-01"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2004-0805","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2004-10-20"}],"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)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-08","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"An off-by-one error in the passwd utility reduces password entropy when using the stdin option, facilitating brute-force attacks.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2004-2394/"}
