Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2008-4500 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-2008-4500/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-4500/index.md)","id":"CVE-2008-4500","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-4500/index.md","name":"CVE-2008-4500","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-c9rx-hxqh-x686"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"FTP server","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Authenticated remote attackers can cause a denial of service via a crafted STOU command in Serv-U FTP server.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"denial_of_service"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"serv-u_file_server","vendor":"solarwinds"}],"cvss":{"score":4,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:N/AC:L/Au:S/C:N/I:N/A:P","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-20","name":"Improper Input Validation"}],"description":"Serv-U 7.0.0.1 through 7.3, including 7.2.0.1, allows remote authenticated users to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption) via a crafted stou command, probably related to MS-DOS device names, as demonstrated using \"con:1\".","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":1,"first_seen":"2008-10-03","github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2008-10-03","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"6660","stars":null,"title":"RhinoSoft Serv-U FTP Server 7.3 - (Authenticated) 'stou con:1' Denial of Service"}],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-4500","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"denial_of_service","year":"2008"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":6,"next":{"headline":"Path traversal in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-4501"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Path traversal in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-4499"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2008-10-08","related":[{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2009-4006","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2009-11-20"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Hardcoded credentials in n/a","id":"CVE-2004-2532","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2005-10-25"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2004-0330","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2004-03-18"},{"cvss_score":9,"headline":"Path traversal in n/a","id":"CVE-2011-4800","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2011-12-14"},{"cvss_score":9,"headline":"Path traversal in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-4501","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2008-10-08"},{"cvss_score":8.5,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2004-2111","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2005-05-27"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Path traversal in n/a","id":"CVE-2009-1031","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2009-03-20"}],"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":"Authenticated remote attackers can cause a denial of service via a crafted STOU command in Serv-U FTP server.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-4500/"}
