An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2006-6601 exists.\n\nAffected product: Microsoft Windows Xp. 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-2006-6601/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2006-6601/index.md)","id":"CVE-2006-6601","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2006-6601/index.md","name":"CVE-2006-6601","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-x938-mpx2-xxg3"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Windows Media Player","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can cause a denial of service in Windows Media Player by tricking users into opening a malformed MIDI file.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"denial_of_service"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"windows_xp","vendor":"microsoft"},{"product":"media_player","vendor":"windows"}],"cvss":{"score":4.3,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:P","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-399","name":null}],"description":"Windows Media Player 10.00.00.4036 in Microsoft Windows XP SP2 allows user-assisted remote attackers to cause a denial of service via a .MID (MIDI) file with a malformed header chunk without any track chunks, possibly involving (1) number of tracks of (2) time division fields that are set to 0.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":2,"first_seen":"2006-12-15","github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2006-12-15","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"29285","stars":null,"title":"Microsoft Windows Media Player 6.4/10.0 - MID Malformed Header Chunk Denial of Service"},{"date":"2006-12-15","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"2935","stars":null,"title":"Microsoft Windows Media Player 9/10 - '.mid' Denial of Service"}],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2006-6601","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"microsoft:windows_xp","products":["microsoft:windows_xp"],"type":"denial_of_service","year":"2006"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":4,"next":{"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2006-6602"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2006-6600"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2006-12-15","related":[{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2012-1852","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2012-08-15"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2012-1853","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2012-08-15"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2009-0119","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2009-01-14"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Integer overflow in n/a","id":"CVE-2007-1946","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2007-04-11"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Hardcoded credentials in n/a","id":"CVE-2005-3595","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2005-11-16"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Code injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2004-2289","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2005-08-04"},{"cvss_score":9.3,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2013-1313","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2013-02-13"}],"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":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"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 attackers can cause a denial of service in Windows Media Player by tricking users into opening a malformed MIDI file.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2006-6601/"}
