An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link."},"fix_prompt":"Check this codebase for CVE-2008-3008 and fix it if it is affected.\n\nWhat it is: CVE-2008-3008 is a critical memory corruption vulnerability in Microsoft Windows 2000, published on 10 Sep 2008. 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-2008-3008 exists.\n\nAffected product: Microsoft Windows 2000. 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-2008-3008/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-3008/index.md)","id":"CVE-2008-3008","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-3008/index.md","name":"CVE-2008-3008","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-p47x-r9f4-v8c6"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Windows Media Encoder","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can execute arbitrary code via a buffer overflow in the Windows Media Encoder ActiveX control, requiring user interaction.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"memory_corruption"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"microsoft","cpe":[{"product":"windows-nt","vendor":"microsoft"},{"product":"windows_2000","vendor":"microsoft"},{"product":"windows_2003_server","vendor":"microsoft"},{"product":"windows_media_encoder","vendor":"microsoft"},{"product":"windows_xp","vendor":"microsoft"}],"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":"Stack-based buffer overflow in the WMEncProfileManager ActiveX control in wmex.dll in Microsoft Windows Media Encoder 9 Series allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a long first argument to the GetDetailsString method, aka \"Windows Media Encoder Buffer Overrun Vulnerability.\"","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":2,"first_seen":"2008-09-09","github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":1,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2008-09-09","kind":"metasploit","ref":"exploit/windows/browser/ms08_053_mediaencoder","stars":null,"title":"Windows Media Encoder 9 wmex.dll ActiveX Buffer Overflow"},{"date":"2008-09-13","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"6454","stars":null,"title":"Microsoft Windows Media Encoder (XP SP2) - 'wmex.dll' ActiveX Buffer Overflow (MS08-053)"},{"date":"2010-05-09","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"16521","stars":null,"title":"Microsoft Windows Media Encoder 9 - 'wmex.dll' ActiveX Buffer Overflow (MS08-053) (Metasploit)"}],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-3008","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"microsoft:windows_2000","products":["microsoft:windows_2000","microsoft:windows_2003_server","microsoft:windows_xp"],"type":"memory_corruption","year":"2008"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":10,"next":{"headline":"Auth bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-3009"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Command injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-3007"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2008-09-10","related":[{"cvss_score":9.3,"headline":"Code injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-1435","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2008-07-08"},{"cvss_score":9.3,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-1087","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2008-04-08"},{"cvss_score":9.3,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2006-0005","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2006-02-14"},{"cvss_score":9,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-1456","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2008-08-13"},{"cvss_score":9,"headline":"Code injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-1457","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2008-08-13"},{"cvss_score":9,"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-1436","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2008-04-21"}],"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":"BSD-3-Clause","name":"Metasploit"},{"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 buffer overflow in the Windows Media Encoder ActiveX control, requiring user interaction.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-3008/"}
