Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2008-3234 exists.\n\nAffected product: OpenSSH. 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-2008-3234/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-3234/index.md)","id":"CVE-2008-3234","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-3234/index.md","name":"CVE-2008-3234","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2008-3234","GHSA-jjg8-59qg-5373"],"analysis":{"component_type":"operating_system","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":true,"product_category":"OpenSSH server","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Authenticated users can escalate privileges to arbitrary SELinux roles by manipulating the username field in OpenSSH on Debian systems.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"openssh","vendor":"openbsd"}],"cvss":{"score":6.5,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:N/AC:L/Au:S/C:P/I:P/A:P","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-264","name":null}],"description":"sshd in OpenSSH 4 on Debian GNU/Linux, and the 20070303 OpenSSH snapshot, allows remote authenticated users to obtain access to arbitrary SELinux roles by appending a :/ (colon slash) sequence, followed by the role name, to the username.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":1,"first_seen":"2008-07-17","github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2008-07-17","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"6094","stars":null,"title":"Debian OpenSSH - (Authenticated) Remote SELinux Privilege Escalation"}],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":false,"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-3234","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"openbsd:openssh","products":["openbsd:openssh"],"type":"privilege_escalation","year":"2008"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":3,"next":{"headline":"Other in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-3235"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-3233"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2008-07-18","related":[{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Auth bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2003-0786","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2003-09-25"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2003-0693","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2003-09-17"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2002-0640","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2003-04-02"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Integer overflow in n/a","id":"CVE-2001-0144","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2001-05-07"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2000-0999","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2000-11-29"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2000-0525","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2000-10-13"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Auth bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2010-4478","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2010-12-06"}],"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":"Authenticated users can escalate privileges to arbitrary SELinux roles by manipulating the username field in OpenSSH on Debian systems.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-3234/"}
