An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2008-0171 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-2008-0171/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-0171/index.md)","id":"CVE-2008-0171","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-0171/index.md","name":"CVE-2008-0171","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-mc8j-3vrc-57vf","SUSE-RU-2021:1414-1"],"analysis":{"component_type":"library","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Boost regex library","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can cause a denial of service via invalid regular expressions in the Boost regex library, affecting applications using this component.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"denial_of_service"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"boost","vendor":"boost"},{"product":"boost_regex_library","vendor":"boost"}],"cvss":{"score":5,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:P","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-20","name":"Improper Input Validation"}],"description":"regex/v4/perl_matcher_non_recursive.hpp in the Boost regex library (aka Boost.Regex) in Boost 1.33 and 1.34 allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (failed assertion and crash) via an invalid regular expression.","ecosystems":["SUSE:Linux Enterprise Module for Legacy 15 SP2"],"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":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-0171","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"denial_of_service","year":"2008"},"n_packages":1,"n_references":21,"next":{"headline":"Null dereference in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-0172"},"packages":[{"ecosystem":"SUSE:Linux Enterprise Module for Legacy 15 SP2","fixed":["1.66.0-1.4.1"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"boost-legacy-base","purl":"pkg:rpm/suse/boost-legacy-base\u0026distro=SUSE%20Linux%20Enterprise%20Module%20for%20Legacy%2015%20SP2","source":"SUSE-RU-2021:1414-1"}],"prev":{"headline":"Auth bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-0169"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2008-01-17","related":[{"cvss_score":5,"headline":"Security feature bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2013-0252","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2013-03-12"},{"cvss_score":5,"headline":"Null dereference in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-0172","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2008-01-17"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CC BY 4.0","name":"SUSE","prefix":"SUSE"},{"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":"Attackers can cause a denial of service via invalid regular expressions in the Boost regex library, affecting applications using this component.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-0171/"}
