It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2006-6698 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-2006-6698/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2006-6698/index.md)","id":"CVE-2006-6698","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2006-6698/index.md","name":"CVE-2006-6698","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-fmr3-c432-pg5g"],"analysis":{"component_type":"operating_system","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"GConf daemon","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Local attackers can cause a denial of service in Gnome by pre-creating temporary directories used by the GConf daemon.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"denial_of_service"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"gconf","vendor":"gnome"}],"cvss":{"score":1.9,"severity":"low","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:L/AC:M/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:P","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[],"description":"The GConf daemon (gconfd) in GConf 2.14.0 creates temporary files under directories with names based on the username, even when GCONF_GLOBAL_LOCKS is not set, which allows local users to cause a denial of service by creating the directories ahead of time, which prevents other users from using Gnome.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2006-6698","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"denial_of_service","year":"2006"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":5,"next":{"headline":"Other in n/a","id":"CVE-2006-6699"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Other in n/a","id":"CVE-2006-6697"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2006-12-22","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)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-07","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Local attackers can cause a denial of service in Gnome by pre-creating temporary directories used by the GConf daemon.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2006-6698/"}
