An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2008-3270 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Redhat Enterprise Linux. 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-2008-3270/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-3270/index.md)","id":"CVE-2008-3270","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-3270/index.md","name":"CVE-2008-3270","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-pvfw-g6m7-hcq2","RHSA-2008:0815"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service","data_modify"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Red Hat package manager","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can bypass SSL verification in yum-rhn-plugin to cause denial of service or force installation of unrequested packages via man-in-the-middle attacks.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"security_feature_bypass"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"redhat","cpe":[{"product":"enterprise_linux","vendor":"redhat"}],"cvss":{"score":2.6,"severity":"low","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:N/AC:H/Au:N/C:N/I:P/A:N","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-310","name":null}],"description":"yum-rhn-plugin in Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 5 does not verify the SSL certificate for a file download from a Red Hat Network (RHN) server, which makes it easier for remote man-in-the-middle attackers to cause a denial of service (loss of updates) or force the download and installation of official Red Hat packages that were not requested.","ecosystems":["Red Hat:enterprise_linux:5::client","Red Hat:enterprise_linux:5::server"],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"Security feature bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-3270","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"redhat:enterprise_linux","products":["redhat:enterprise_linux"],"type":"security_feature_bypass","year":"2008"},"n_packages":2,"n_references":6,"next":{"headline":"Race condition in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-3271"},"packages":[{"ecosystem":"Red Hat:enterprise_linux:5::client","fixed":["0:0.5.3-12.el5_2.9"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"yum-rhn-plugin","purl":"pkg:rpm/redhat/yum-rhn-plugin","source":"RHSA-2008:0815"},{"ecosystem":"Red Hat:enterprise_linux:5::server","fixed":["0:0.5.3-12.el5_2.9"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"yum-rhn-plugin","purl":"pkg:rpm/redhat/yum-rhn-plugin","source":"RHSA-2008:0815"}],"prev":{"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-3269"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2008-08-18","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Red Hat JBoss RichFaces Framework Expression Language Injection","id":"CVE-2018-14667","kev_date_added":"2023-09-28","published":"2018-11-06"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Missing fixes for CVE-2021-40438 and CVE-2021-26691 in the versions of httpd, as shipped in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.5.0, causes a securit","id":"CVE-2021-20325","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-02-18"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in libwebp","id":"CVE-2018-25011","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-05-21"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Other in libwebp","id":"CVE-2018-25014","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-05-21"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Supply chain in redhat-upgrade-tool","id":"CVE-2014-3585","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-11-22"},{"cvss_score":9.3,"headline":"Squid: request/response smuggling in http/1.1 and icap","id":"CVE-2023-46846","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-11-03"},{"cvss_score":9.1,"headline":"Memory corruption in libwebp","id":"CVE-2018-25009","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-05-21"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CC BY 4.0","name":"Red Hat","prefix":"RHSA"},{"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)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-07","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Attackers can bypass SSL verification in yum-rhn-plugin to cause denial of service or force installation of unrequested packages via man-in-the-middle attacks.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-3270/"}
