An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2005-2496 in the wild and no public exploit code.\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-2005-2496/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2005-2496/index.md)","id":"CVE-2005-2496","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2005-2496/index.md","name":"CVE-2005-2496","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2005-2496","DSA-801-1","GHSA-rr7w-f67q-fhr8","RHSA-2006:0393"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":true,"product_category":"NTP daemon","requires_auth":"none","summary":"The NTP daemon may run with incorrect privileges when using the -u option with a group name, allowing potential privilege escalation.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"redhat","cpe":[{"product":"ntpd","vendor":"dave_mills"}],"cvss":{"score":4.6,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:L/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[],"description":"The xntpd ntp (ntpd) daemon before 4.2.0b, when run with the -u option and using a string to specify the group, uses the group ID of the user instead of the group, which causes xntpd to run with different privileges than intended.","ecosystems":["Red Hat:enterprise_linux:4::as","Red Hat:enterprise_linux:4::desktop","Red Hat:enterprise_linux:4::es","Red Hat:enterprise_linux:4::ws"],"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":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2005-2496","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"privilege_escalation","year":"2005"},"n_packages":8,"n_references":12,"next":{"headline":"Code injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2005-2498"},"packages":[{"ecosystem":"Red Hat:enterprise_linux:4::as","fixed":["0:4.2.0.a.20040617-4.EL4.1"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"ntp","purl":"pkg:rpm/redhat/ntp","source":"RHSA-2006:0393"},{"ecosystem":"Red Hat:enterprise_linux:4::as","fixed":["0:4.2.0.a.20040617-4.EL4.1"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"ntp-debuginfo","purl":"pkg:rpm/redhat/ntp-debuginfo","source":"RHSA-2006:0393"},{"ecosystem":"Red Hat:enterprise_linux:4::desktop","fixed":["0:4.2.0.a.20040617-4.EL4.1"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"ntp","purl":"pkg:rpm/redhat/ntp","source":"RHSA-2006:0393"},{"ecosystem":"Red Hat:enterprise_linux:4::desktop","fixed":["0:4.2.0.a.20040617-4.EL4.1"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"ntp-debuginfo","purl":"pkg:rpm/redhat/ntp-debuginfo","source":"RHSA-2006:0393"},{"ecosystem":"Red Hat:enterprise_linux:4::es","fixed":["0:4.2.0.a.20040617-4.EL4.1"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"ntp","purl":"pkg:rpm/redhat/ntp","source":"RHSA-2006:0393"},{"ecosystem":"Red Hat:enterprise_linux:4::es","fixed":["0:4.2.0.a.20040617-4.EL4.1"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"ntp-debuginfo","purl":"pkg:rpm/redhat/ntp-debuginfo","source":"RHSA-2006:0393"},{"ecosystem":"Red Hat:enterprise_linux:4::ws","fixed":["0:4.2.0.a.20040617-4.EL4.1"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"ntp","purl":"pkg:rpm/redhat/ntp","source":"RHSA-2006:0393"},{"ecosystem":"Red Hat:enterprise_linux:4::ws","fixed":["0:4.2.0.a.20040617-4.EL4.1"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"ntp-debuginfo","purl":"pkg:rpm/redhat/ntp-debuginfo","source":"RHSA-2006:0393"}],"prev":{"headline":"Integer overflow in n/a","id":"CVE-2005-2495"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2005-09-02","related":[{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2001-0414","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":"CC BY 4.0","name":"Red Hat","prefix":"RHSA"},{"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":"The NTP daemon may run with incorrect privileges when using the -u option with a group name, allowing potential privilege escalation.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2005-2496/"}
