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-2008-0967 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Vmware Esx. 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-2008-0967/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-0967/index.md)","id":"CVE-2008-0967","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-0967/index.md","name":"CVE-2008-0967","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-w7jw-whgf-5mgf"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"VMware virtualization software","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Local attackers can escalate privileges in VMware products by exploiting an untrusted search path vulnerability in the authentication daemon.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"esx","vendor":"vmware"},{"product":"esx_server","vendor":"vmware"},{"product":"esxi","vendor":"vmware"},{"product":"player","vendor":"vmware"},{"product":"server","vendor":"vmware"},{"product":"vmware_server","vendor":"vmware"},{"product":"vmware_workstation","vendor":"vmware"},{"product":"workstation","vendor":"vmware"}],"cvss":{"score":6.9,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:L/AC:M/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[],"description":"Untrusted search path vulnerability in vmware-authd in VMware Workstation 5.x before 5.5.7 build 91707 and 6.x before 6.0.4 build 93057, VMware Player 1.x before 1.0.7 build 91707 and 2.x before 2.0.4 build 93057, and VMware Server before 1.0.6 build 91891 on Linux, and VMware ESXi 3.5 and VMware ESX 2.5.4 through 3.5, allows local users to gain privileges via a library path option in a configuration file.","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":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-0967","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"vmware:esx","products":["vmware:esx","vmware:esxi","vmware:player","vmware:server","vmware:workstation"],"type":"privilege_escalation","year":"2008"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":12,"next":{"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-0971"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-0965"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2008-06-05","related":[{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Auth bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2013-1405","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2013-02-15"},{"cvss_score":9.9,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2012-1516","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2012-05-04"},{"cvss_score":9.4,"headline":"Path traversal in n/a","id":"CVE-2013-3658","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2013-09-10"},{"cvss_score":9.3,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2012-3288","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2012-06-14"},{"cvss_score":9.3,"headline":"Path traversal in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-4281","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2008-11-10"},{"cvss_score":9,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2012-1517","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2012-05-04"},{"cvss_score":9,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2012-2449","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2012-05-04"}],"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":"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 in VMware products by exploiting an untrusted search path vulnerability in the authentication daemon.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-0967/"}
