An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2006-6772 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-2006-6772/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2006-6772/index.md)","id":"CVE-2006-6772","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2006-6772/index.md","name":"CVE-2006-6772","record":{"aliases":["CVE-2007-3125","DEBIAN-CVE-2006-6772","GHSA-x9rf-x2gc-ppgw"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":true,"product_category":"w3m text browser","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can execute arbitrary code via format string specifiers in SSL certificate CN fields when w3m is run in dump or backend mode.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"memory_corruption"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"w3m","vendor":"w3m"}],"cvss":{"score":9.3,"severity":"critical","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-134","name":"Use of Externally-Controlled Format String"}],"description":"Format string vulnerability in the inputAnswer function in file.c in w3m before 0.5.2, when run with the dump or backend option, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via format string specifiers in the Common Name (CN) field of an SSL certificate associated with an https URL.","ecosystems":[],"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":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2006-6772","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"memory_corruption","year":"2006"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":22,"next":{"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2006-6773"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"File upload in n/a","id":"CVE-2006-6771"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2006-12-27","related":[{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2001-0700","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2002-03-09"},{"cvss_score":6.8,"headline":"Security feature bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2010-2074","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2010-06-16"},{"cvss_score":5,"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2002-1348","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2004-09-01"},{"cvss_score":4.3,"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2002-1335","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2002-12-03"}],"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)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-07","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Remote attackers can execute arbitrary code via format string specifiers in SSL certificate CN fields when w3m is run in dump or backend mode.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2006-6772/"}
