Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2005-2878 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-2005-2878/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2005-2878/index.md)","id":"CVE-2005-2878","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2005-2878/index.md","name":"CVE-2005-2878","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2005-2878","DSA-841-1","DTSA-20-1","GHSA-6mvq-9mv3-ppcp"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"GNU Mailutils IMAP server","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Remote authenticated users can execute arbitrary code via format string vulnerabilities in the IMAP SEARCH command of GNU Mailutils.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"code_injection"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"mailutils","vendor":"gnu"}],"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":"Format string vulnerability in search.c in the imap4d server in GNU Mailutils 0.6 allows remote authenticated users to execute arbitrary code via format string specifiers in the SEARCH command.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":3,"first_seen":"2005-09-10","github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2005-09-10","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"1209","stars":null,"title":"GNU Mailutils imap4d 0.6 - 'Search' Remote Format String"},{"date":"2005-09-26","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"1234","stars":null,"title":"GNU Mailutils imap4d 0.6 (FreeBSD) - 'Search' Remote Format String"},{"date":"2007-04-24","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"3787","stars":null,"title":"GNU Mailutils imap4d 0.6 - exec-shield Remote Format String"}],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"Code injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2005-2878","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"code_injection","year":"2005"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":9,"next":{"headline":"Weak cryptography in n/a","id":"CVE-2005-2879"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Command injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2005-2877"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2005-09-13","related":[{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2019-18862","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-11-11"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"SQL injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2005-1824","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2005-06-02"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2005-1520","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2005-05-26"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Integer overflow in n/a","id":"CVE-2005-1521","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2005-05-26"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2005-1523","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2005-05-26"},{"cvss_score":7.2,"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2004-0984","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2005-04-21"}],"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":"Remote authenticated users can execute arbitrary code via format string vulnerabilities in the IMAP SEARCH command of GNU Mailutils.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2005-2878/"}
