It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2008-3863 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-2008-3863/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-3863/index.md)","id":"CVE-2008-3863","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-3863/index.md","name":"CVE-2008-3863","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2008-3863","GHSA-wp92-87r8-55v9","openSUSE-SU-2024:10737-1"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":true,"product_category":"GNU Enscript","requires_auth":"none","summary":"A stack-based buffer overflow in GNU Enscript allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted file when special escapes processing is enabled.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"memory_corruption"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"flexera","cpe":[{"product":"enscript","vendor":"gnu"}],"cvss":{"score":7.6,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:N/AC:H/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-119","name":"Improper Restriction of Operations within the Bounds of a Memory Buffer"}],"description":"Stack-based buffer overflow in the read_special_escape function in src/psgen.c in GNU Enscript 1.6.1 and 1.6.4 beta, when the -e (aka special escapes processing) option is enabled, allows user-assisted remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted ASCII file, related to the setfilename command.","ecosystems":["openSUSE:Tumbleweed"],"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":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-3863","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"memory_corruption","year":"2008"},"n_packages":1,"n_references":32,"next":{"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-3864"},"packages":[{"ecosystem":"openSUSE:Tumbleweed","fixed":["1.6.6-1.15"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"enscript","purl":"pkg:rpm/opensuse/enscript\u0026distro=openSUSE%20Tumbleweed","source":"openSUSE-SU-2024:10737-1"}],"prev":{"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-3862"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2008-10-23","related":[{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Command injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2004-1185","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2005-01-29"},{"cvss_score":5,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2004-1186","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2005-01-29"},{"cvss_score":4.6,"headline":"Command injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2004-1184","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2005-01-29"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CC BY 4.0","name":"SUSE","prefix":"openSUSE"},{"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":"A stack-based buffer overflow in GNU Enscript allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted file when special escapes processing is enabled.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-3863/"}
