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-2008-0008 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-2008-0008/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-0008/index.md)","id":"CVE-2008-0008","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-0008/index.md","name":"CVE-2008-0008","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2008-0008","DSA-1476-1","GHSA-8542-rfhf-wf9j","openSUSE-SU-2024:11200-1"],"analysis":{"component_type":"operating_system","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux audio server","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Local attackers can escalate privileges by causing PulseAudio to fail dropping root permissions due to unchecked return values.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"redhat","cpe":[{"product":"pulseaudio","vendor":"pulseaudio"}],"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":[{"id":"CWE-20","name":"Improper Input Validation"}],"description":"The pa_drop_root function in PulseAudio 0.9.8, and a certain 0.9.9 build, does not check return values from (1) setresuid, (2) setreuid, (3) setuid, and (4) seteuid calls when attempting to drop privileges, which might allow local users to gain privileges by causing those calls to fail via attacks such as resource exhaustion.","ecosystems":["openSUSE:Tumbleweed"],"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":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-0008","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"privilege_escalation","year":"2008"},"n_packages":1,"n_references":18,"next":{"headline":"Information disclosure in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-0009"},"packages":[{"ecosystem":"openSUSE:Tumbleweed","fixed":["15.0-3.1"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"pulseaudio","purl":"pkg:rpm/opensuse/pulseaudio\u0026distro=openSUSE%20Tumbleweed","source":"openSUSE-SU-2024:11200-1"}],"prev":{"headline":"Information disclosure in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-0007"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2008-01-28","related":[{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2007-1804","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2007-04-02"},{"cvss_score":7.2,"headline":"Race condition in n/a","id":"CVE-2009-1894","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2009-07-17"},{"cvss_score":6.9,"headline":"Path traversal in n/a","id":"CVE-2009-1299","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2010-03-18"},{"cvss_score":4,"headline":"Denial of service in Ubuntu's pulseaudio","id":"CVE-2024-11586","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-11-23"},{"cvss_score":2.9,"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2014-3970","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2014-06-11"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CC BY 4.0","name":"SUSE","prefix":"openSUSE"},{"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":"Local attackers can escalate privileges by causing PulseAudio to fail dropping root permissions due to unchecked return values.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-0008/"}
