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-2008-4440 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-2008-4440/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-4440/index.md)","id":"CVE-2008-4440","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-4440/index.md","name":"CVE-2008-4440","record":{"aliases":["DSA-1643-1","GHSA-rhm2-xq3f-f6vj"],"analysis":{"component_type":"operating_system","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["data_modify"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Debian feta package","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Local attackers can overwrite arbitrary files via symlink attacks on temporary files in the feta to-upgrade plugin.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"path_traversal"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"feta","vendor":"debian"}],"cvss":{"score":7.2,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:L/AC:L/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-59","name":"Improper Link Resolution Before File Access"}],"description":"The to-upgrade plugin in feta 1.4.16 allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink on the (1) /tmp/feta.install.$USER and (2) /tmp/feta.avail.$USER temporary files.","ecosystems":[],"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":"Path traversal in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-4440","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"path_traversal","year":"2008"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":7,"next":{"headline":"The Marvell driver for the Linksys WAP4400N Wi-Fi access point with firmware 1.2.14 on the Marvell 88W8361P-BEM1 chipset, when WEP mode is e","id":"CVE-2008-4441"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Code injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-4439"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2008-10-03","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)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-07","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Local attackers can overwrite arbitrary files via symlink attacks on temporary files in the feta to-upgrade plugin.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-4440/"}
