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-2008-3279 in the wild and no public exploit code.\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-2008-3279/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-3279/index.md)","id":"CVE-2008-3279","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-3279/index.md","name":"CVE-2008-3279","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-48h7-qpc2-7cjw","RHSA-2010:0181"],"analysis":{"component_type":"library","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Braille display library","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Local attackers can gain privileges by exploiting an incorrect RPATH setting in the brltty library to load a malicious crafted library.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"redhat","cpe":[{"product":"brltty","vendor":"mielke"}],"cvss":{"score":6.9,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:L/AC:M/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-264","name":null}],"description":"Untrusted search path vulnerability in libbrlttybba.so in brltty 3.7.2 allows local users to gain privileges via a crafted library, related to an incorrect RPATH setting.","ecosystems":["Red Hat:enterprise_linux:5::client","Red Hat:enterprise_linux:5::client_workstation","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":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-3279","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"privilege_escalation","year":"2008"},"n_packages":10,"n_references":5,"next":{"headline":"Weak cryptography in openid","id":"CVE-2008-3280"},"packages":[{"ecosystem":"Red Hat:enterprise_linux:5::client","fixed":["0:0.4.1-4.el5"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"brlapi","purl":"pkg:rpm/redhat/brlapi","source":"RHSA-2010:0181"},{"ecosystem":"Red Hat:enterprise_linux:5::client","fixed":["0:3.7.2-4.el5"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"brltty","purl":"pkg:rpm/redhat/brltty","source":"RHSA-2010:0181"},{"ecosystem":"Red Hat:enterprise_linux:5::client","fixed":["0:3.7.2-4.el5"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"brltty-debuginfo","purl":"pkg:rpm/redhat/brltty-debuginfo","source":"RHSA-2010:0181"},{"ecosystem":"Red Hat:enterprise_linux:5::client_workstation","fixed":["0:0.4.1-4.el5"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"brlapi-devel","purl":"pkg:rpm/redhat/brlapi-devel","source":"RHSA-2010:0181"},{"ecosystem":"Red Hat:enterprise_linux:5::client_workstation","fixed":["0:3.7.2-4.el5"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"brltty","purl":"pkg:rpm/redhat/brltty","source":"RHSA-2010:0181"},{"ecosystem":"Red Hat:enterprise_linux:5::client_workstation","fixed":["0:3.7.2-4.el5"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"brltty-debuginfo","purl":"pkg:rpm/redhat/brltty-debuginfo","source":"RHSA-2010:0181"},{"ecosystem":"Red Hat:enterprise_linux:5::server","fixed":["0:0.4.1-4.el5"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"brlapi","purl":"pkg:rpm/redhat/brlapi","source":"RHSA-2010:0181"},{"ecosystem":"Red Hat:enterprise_linux:5::server","fixed":["0:0.4.1-4.el5"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"brlapi-devel","purl":"pkg:rpm/redhat/brlapi-devel","source":"RHSA-2010:0181"},{"ecosystem":"Red Hat:enterprise_linux:5::server","fixed":["0:3.7.2-4.el5"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"brltty","purl":"pkg:rpm/redhat/brltty","source":"RHSA-2010:0181"},{"ecosystem":"Red Hat:enterprise_linux:5::server","fixed":["0:3.7.2-4.el5"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"brltty-debuginfo","purl":"pkg:rpm/redhat/brltty-debuginfo","source":"RHSA-2010:0181"}],"prev":{"headline":"Privilege escalation in frysk","id":"CVE-2008-3278"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2010-04-05","related":[],"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":"Local attackers can gain privileges by exploiting an incorrect RPATH setting in the brltty library to load a malicious crafted library.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-3279/"}
