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-2004-2698 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-2004-2698/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2004-2698/index.md)","id":"CVE-2004-2698","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2004-2698/index.md","name":"CVE-2004-2698","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2004-2698","GHSA-64gr-p8q7-hc37"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["denial_of_service","data_modify"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":true,"product_category":"IMWheel input daemon","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Local attackers can cause a denial of service or modify arbitrary files via a symlink race condition when IMWheel runs with the -k option.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"race_condition"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"imwheel","vendor":"imwheel"}],"cvss":{"score":6.9,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:L/AC:M/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-362","name":"Concurrent Execution using Shared Resource with Improper Synchronization"}],"description":"Race condition in IMWheel 1.0.0pre11 and earlier, when running with the -k option, allows local users to cause a denial of service (IMWheel crash) and possibly modify arbitrary files via a symlink attack on the imwheel.pid file.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":1,"first_seen":"2004-08-23","github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2004-08-23","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"24398","stars":null,"title":"IMWheel 1.0 - Predictable Temporary File Creation"}],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"Race condition in n/a","id":"CVE-2004-2698","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"race_condition","year":"2004"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":8,"next":{"headline":"Missing authorization in n/a","id":"CVE-2004-2699"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Race condition in n/a","id":"CVE-2004-2697"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2007-10-06","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":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"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 cause a denial of service or modify arbitrary files via a symlink race condition when IMWheel runs with the -k option.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2004-2698/"}
