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-2005-3503 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-2005-3503/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2005-3503/index.md)","id":"CVE-2005-3503","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2005-3503/index.md","name":"CVE-2005-3503","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-2rmc-p46g-jmrv"],"analysis":{"component_type":"operating_system","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux utility","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Local attackers can exploit improper argument checking in chfn to gain elevated privileges on SuSE Linux systems.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"pwdutils","vendor":"pwdutils"}],"cvss":{"score":7.2,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:L/AC:L/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[],"description":"chfn in pwdutils 3.0.4 and earlier on SuSE Linux, and possibly other operating systems, does not properly check arguments for the GECOS field, which allows local users to gain privileges.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":1,"first_seen":"2005-11-08","github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2005-11-08","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"1299","stars":null,"title":"Linux chfn (SuSE 9.3/10) - Local Privilege Escalation"}],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2005-3503","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"privilege_escalation","year":"2005"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":4,"next":{"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2005-3504"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Missing authorization in n/a","id":"CVE-2005-3502"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2005-11-05","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":"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 attackers can exploit improper argument checking in chfn to gain elevated privileges on SuSE Linux systems.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2005-3503/"}
