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-2008-3533 exists.\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-2008-3533/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-3533/index.md)","id":"CVE-2008-3533","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-3533/index.md","name":"CVE-2008-3533","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2008-3533","DTSA-154-1","GHSA-4mh5-hw23-j38h"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Gnome help viewer","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can execute arbitrary code via format string vulnerabilities in Yelp when processing invalid URIs from browser handlers.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"code_injection"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"canonical","cpe":[{"product":"gnome","vendor":"gnome"},{"product":"yelp","vendor":"gnome"}],"cvss":{"score":10,"severity":"critical","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-134","name":"Use of Externally-Controlled Format String"}],"description":"Format string vulnerability in the window_error function in yelp-window.c in yelp in Gnome after 2.19.90 and before 2.24 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via format string specifiers in an invalid URI on the command line, as demonstrated by use of yelp within (1) man or (2) ghelp URI handlers in Firefox, Evolution, and unspecified other programs.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":1,"first_seen":"2008-08-13","github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2008-08-13","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"32248","stars":null,"title":"Yelp 2.23.1 - Invalid URI Format String"}],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"Code injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-3533","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"code_injection","year":"2008"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":14,"next":{"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-3534"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Security feature bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-3532"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2008-08-18","related":[],"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":"Remote attackers can execute arbitrary code via format string vulnerabilities in Yelp when processing invalid URIs from browser handlers.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-3533/"}
