It can be exploited over the network."},"fix_prompt":"Check this codebase for CVE-2005-1978 and fix it if it is affected.\n\nWhat it is: CVE-2005-1978 is a high-severity memory corruption vulnerability in Microsoft Windows 2000, published on 11 Oct 2005. It can be exploited over the network.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2005-1978 exists.\n\nAffected product: Microsoft Windows 2000. 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-2005-1978/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2005-1978/index.md)","id":"CVE-2005-1978","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2005-1978/index.md","name":"CVE-2005-1978","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-qprj-8c78-j6w6"],"analysis":{"component_type":"operating_system","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Windows COM+","requires_auth":"unknown","summary":"Local or remote attackers can execute arbitrary code due to improper memory structure handling in Windows COM+.","user_interaction":"unknown","vuln_class":"memory_corruption"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"microsoft","cpe":[{"product":"windows_2000","vendor":"microsoft"},{"product":"windows_2003_server","vendor":"microsoft"},{"product":"windows_xp","vendor":"microsoft"}],"cvss":{"score":7.5,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[],"description":"COM+ in Microsoft Windows does not properly \"create and use memory structures,\" which allows local users or remote attackers to execute arbitrary code.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":1,"first_seen":"2005-12-01","github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2005-12-01","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"1352","stars":null,"title":"Microsoft Windows - DTC Remote (MS05-051) (2)"}],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2005-1978","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"microsoft:windows_2000","products":["microsoft:windows_2000","microsoft:windows_2003_server","microsoft:windows_xp"],"type":"memory_corruption","year":"2005"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":15,"next":{"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2005-1979"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2005-1976"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2005-10-11","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Microsoft Windows Buffer Overflow","id":"CVE-2008-4250","kev_date_added":"2026-05-20","published":"2008-10-23"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Microsoft Windows Kernel Exception Handler","id":"CVE-2010-0232","kev_date_added":"2022-03-03","published":"2010-01-21"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Microsoft Windows Improper Input Validation","id":"CVE-2009-1123","kev_date_added":"2022-03-03","published":"2009-06-10"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Microsoft Windows Privilege Escalation","id":"CVE-2002-0367","kev_date_added":"2022-03-03","published":"2003-04-02"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2010-0269","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2010-04-14"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Weak cryptography in n/a","id":"CVE-2010-0231","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2010-02-10"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Auth bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2009-3677","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2009-12-09"}],"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":"2024-08-07","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Local or remote attackers can execute arbitrary code due to improper memory structure handling in Windows COM+.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2005-1978/"}
