An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2008-1769 exists.\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-2008-1769/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-1769/index.md)","id":"CVE-2008-1769","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-1769/index.md","name":"CVE-2008-1769","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2008-1769","GHSA-mxxw-w2hq-pvjj"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"VLC media player","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can crash VLC media player by tricking users into opening a crafted Cinepak file, causing memory corruption.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"memory_corruption"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"vlc","vendor":"videolan"}],"cvss":{"score":6.8,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-399","name":null}],"description":"VLC before 0.8.6f allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a crafted Cinepak file that triggers an out-of-bounds array access and memory corruption.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":1,"first_seen":"2008-04-25","github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2008-04-25","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"5498","stars":null,"title":"Kantaris 0.3.4 - SSA Subtitle Local Buffer Overflow"}],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-1769","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"memory_corruption","year":"2008"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":11,"next":{"headline":"Code injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-1770"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Integer overflow in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-1768"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2008-04-24","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2014-6440","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-03-28"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2007-6681","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2008-01-17"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Code injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2007-6682","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2008-01-17"},{"cvss_score":6.8,"headline":"Integer overflow in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-1768","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2008-04-24"},{"cvss_score":6.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-1881","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2008-04-17"},{"cvss_score":6.8,"headline":"Integer overflow in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-1489","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2008-03-25"}],"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)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"GPL-2.0-or-later","name":"Exploit-DB"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-07","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Remote attackers can crash VLC media player by tricking users into opening a crafted Cinepak file, causing memory corruption.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-1769/"}
