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-2008-2542 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-2008-2542/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-2542/index.md)","id":"CVE-2008-2542","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-2542/index.md","name":"CVE-2008-2542","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-48q9-qvmx-w7gq"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"no_fix_stated","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"NASA Ames BigView","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can execute arbitrary code via a crafted PNM file in NASA Ames BigView, requiring user interaction to open the file.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"memory_corruption"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"bigview","vendor":"nasa_ames_research_center"}],"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-119","name":"Improper Restriction of Operations within the Bounds of a Memory Buffer"}],"description":"Stack-based buffer overflow in the getline function in Ppm/ppm.C in NASA Ames Research Center BigView 1.8 allows user-assisted remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted PNM file.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":1,"first_seen":"2008-06-04","github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2008-06-04","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"31872","stars":null,"title":"NASA Ames Research Center BigView 1.8 - '.PNM' Stack Buffer Overflow (PoC)"}],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-2542","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"memory_corruption","year":"2008"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":7,"next":{"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-2543"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-2541"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2008-06-05","related":[],"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 execute arbitrary code via a crafted PNM file in NASA Ames BigView, requiring user interaction to open the file.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-2542/"}
