It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2005-0988 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Freebsd Freebsd. 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-2005-0988/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2005-0988/index.md)","id":"CVE-2005-0988","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2005-0988/index.md","name":"CVE-2005-0988","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2005-0988","GHSA-pmqf-rc4m-6f55"],"analysis":{"component_type":"operating_system","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["privilege_escalation","data_modify"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"gzip utility","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Local attackers can exploit a race condition in gzip to modify permissions of arbitrary files via hard link attacks during decompression.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"race_condition"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"freebsd","vendor":"freebsd"},{"product":"linux","vendor":"gentoo"},{"product":"gzip","vendor":"gnu"},{"product":"enterprise_linux","vendor":"redhat"},{"product":"enterprise_linux_desktop","vendor":"redhat"},{"product":"linux_advanced_workstation","vendor":"redhat"},{"product":"secure_linux","vendor":"trustix"},{"product":"turbolinux_appliance_server","vendor":"turbolinux"},{"product":"turbolinux_desktop","vendor":"turbolinux"},{"product":"turbolinux_home","vendor":"turbolinux"},{"product":"turbolinux_server","vendor":"turbolinux"},{"product":"turbolinux_workstation","vendor":"turbolinux"},{"product":"ubuntu_linux","vendor":"ubuntu"}],"cvss":{"score":3.7,"severity":"low","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:L/AC:H/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[],"description":"Race condition in gzip 1.2.4, 1.3.3, and earlier, when decompressing a gzipped file, allows local users to modify permissions of arbitrary files via a hard link attack on a file while it is being decompressed, whose permissions are changed by gzip after the decompression is complete.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"Race condition in n/a","id":"CVE-2005-0988","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"freebsd:freebsd","products":["freebsd:freebsd","gentoo:linux","redhat:enterprise_linux","redhat:enterprise_linux_desktop","redhat:linux_advanced_workstation","trustix:secure_linux","ubuntu:ubuntu_linux"],"type":"race_condition","year":"2005"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":18,"next":{"headline":"Information disclosure in n/a","id":"CVE-2005-0989"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Information disclosure in n/a","id":"CVE-2005-0987"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2005-04-06","related":[{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Memory corruption in FreeBSD","id":"CVE-2018-17160","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2018-12-04"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2014-3954","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2014-10-27"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2006-4304","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2006-08-24"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Integer overflow in n/a","id":"CVE-2006-0226","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2006-01-19"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2004-0002","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2004-02-03"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Security feature bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2001-0969","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2002-03-09"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2001-0388","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2001-09-18"}],"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":"2024-08-07","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Local attackers can exploit a race condition in gzip to modify permissions of arbitrary files via hard link attacks during decompression.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2005-0988/"}
