It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2008-3278 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: frysk. 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-2008-3278/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-3278/index.md)","id":"CVE-2008-3278","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-3278/index.md","name":"CVE-2008-3278","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-m6wp-c7g9-jv26"],"analysis":{"component_type":"operating_system","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["privilege_escalation","code_execution"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux debugging tools","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Local attackers can execute arbitrary code as another user due to insecure RPATH settings in frysk binaries shipped with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"redhat","cpe":[{"product":"frysk","vendor":"redhat"}],"cvss":{"score":7.8,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-1188","name":"Initialization of a Resource with an Insecure Default"}],"description":"frysk packages through 2008-08-05 as shipped in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 are built with an insecure RPATH set in the ELF header of multiple binaries in /usr/bin/f* (e.g. fcore, fcatch, fstack, fstep, ...) shipped in the package.
