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-2008-0638 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-2008-0638/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-0638/index.md)","id":"CVE-2008-0638","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-0638/index.md","name":"CVE-2008-0638","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-95r5-99mc-hv7q"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Storage Foundation service","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can execute arbitrary code on Symantec Veritas Storage Foundation via a heap-based buffer overflow in the VEA service.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"memory_corruption"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"veritas_storage_foundation","vendor":"symantec"}],"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-119","name":"Improper Restriction of Operations within the Bounds of a Memory Buffer"}],"description":"Heap-based buffer overflow in the Veritas Enterprise Administrator (VEA) service (aka vxsvc.exe) in Symantec Veritas Storage Foundation 5.0 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a packet with a crafted value of a certain size field, which is not checked for consistency with the actual buffer size.","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":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-0638","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"memory_corruption","year":"2008"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":6,"next":{"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-0639"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Information disclosure in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-0636"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2008-02-21","related":[{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Auth bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-3703","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2008-08-18"},{"cvss_score":9.3,"headline":"Auth bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2007-2279","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2007-06-04"}],"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 on Symantec Veritas Storage Foundation via a heap-based buffer overflow in the VEA service.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-0638/"}
