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-2008-3856/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-3856/index.md)","id":"CVE-2008-3856","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-3856/index.md","name":"CVE-2008-3856","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-g8fv-c9gr-q25c"],"analysis":{"component_type":"database","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"unknown","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"IBM DB2 database","requires_auth":"unknown","summary":"IBM DB2 on Unix/Linux fails to change ownership of the db2fmp process, potentially allowing privilege escalation.","user_interaction":"unknown","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"db2_universal_database","vendor":"ibm"}],"cvss":{"score":7.5,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-264","name":null}],"description":"The routine infrastructure component in IBM DB2 8 before FP17, 9.1 before FP5, and 9.5 before FP1 on Unix and Linux does not change the ownership of the db2fmp process, which has unknown impact and attack vectors.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-3856","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"ibm:db2_universal_database","products":["ibm:db2_universal_database"],"type":"privilege_escalation","year":"2008"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":11,"next":{"headline":"Information disclosure in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-3857"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-3855"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2008-08-28","related":[{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Unspecified vulnerability in (1) DB2WATCH and (2) DB2FREEZE in IBM DB2 UDB 9.1 before Fixpak 4 has unknown impact and attack vectors.","id":"CVE-2007-6045","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2007-11-20"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Command injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2007-6047","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2007-11-20"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Misconfiguration in n/a","id":"CVE-2007-6048","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2007-11-20"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"IBM DB2 UDB 9.1 before Fixpak 4 assigns incorrect privileges to the (1) DB2ADMNS and (2) DB2USERS alternative groups, which has unknown impact.","id":"CVE-2007-6051","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2007-11-20"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2005-4865","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2007-10-06"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Other in n/a","id":"CVE-2005-0417","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2005-02-14"},{"cvss_score":9.3,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-3853","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2008-08-28"}],"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)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-07","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"IBM DB2 on Unix/Linux fails to change ownership of the db2fmp process, potentially allowing privilege escalation.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-3856/"}
