An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2008-4609 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Cisco Ios. 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-2008-4609/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-4609/index.md)","id":"CVE-2008-4609","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-4609/index.md","name":"CVE-2008-4609","record":{"aliases":["AZL-6513","DEBIAN-CVE-2008-4609","GHSA-vf4j-pjcc-qf79","ROOT-OS-DEBIAN-11-CVE-2008-4609","ROOT-OS-DEBIAN-12-CVE-2008-4609","ROOT-OS-DEBIAN-13-CVE-2008-4609"],"analysis":{"component_type":"operating_system","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"TCP network stack","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can exhaust TCP connection queues via state table manipulation, causing denial of service across multiple operating systems.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"denial_of_service"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"bsd","vendor":"bsd"},{"product":"bsd_os","vendor":"bsdi"},{"product":"catalyst_blade_switch_3020_firmware","vendor":"cisco"},{"product":"catalyst_blade_switch_3120_firmware","vendor":"cisco"},{"product":"catalyst_blade_switch_3120x_firmware","vendor":"cisco"},{"product":"ios","vendor":"cisco"},{"product":"dragonflybsd","vendor":"dragonflybsd"},{"product":"freebsd","vendor":"freebsd"},{"product":"linux_kernel","vendor":"linux"},{"product":"windows_2000","vendor":"microsoft"},{"product":"windows_server_2003","vendor":"microsoft"},{"product":"windows_server_2008","vendor":"microsoft"},{"product":"windows_vista","vendor":"microsoft"},{"product":"windows_xp","vendor":"microsoft"},{"product":"midnightbsd","vendor":"midnightbsd"},{"product":"netbsd","vendor":"netbsd"},{"product":"openbsd","vendor":"openbsd"},{"product":"solaris","vendor":"oracle"},{"product":"trustedbsd","vendor":"trustedbsd"}],"cvss":{"score":7.1,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:C","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-16","name":null}],"description":"The TCP implementation in (1) Linux, (2) platforms based on BSD Unix, (3) Microsoft Windows, (4) Cisco products, and probably other operating systems allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (connection queue exhaustion) via multiple vectors that manipulate information in the TCP state table, as demonstrated by sockstress.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":"2016-05-06","github_poc":1,"max_poc_stars":17,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2016-05-06T17:21:32Z","kind":"github_poc","ref":"https://github.com/mrclki/sockstress","stars":17,"title":"Sockstress (CVE-2008-4609)  DDoS implementation written in Go"}],"tier":"poc_unverified"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-4609","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"cisco:ios","products":["cisco:ios","freebsd:freebsd","linux:linux_kernel","microsoft:windows_2000","microsoft:windows_server_2003","microsoft:windows_server_2008","microsoft:windows_vista","microsoft:windows_xp","netbsd:netbsd","openbsd:openbsd","oracle:solaris"],"type":"denial_of_service","year":"2008"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":16,"next":{"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-4610"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"DO NOT USE THIS CANDIDATE NUMBER.","id":"CVE-2008-4608"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2008-10-20","related":[{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2001-0670","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2002-03-09"},{"cvss_score":7.2,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-1999-1471","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2001-09-12"},{"cvss_score":5,"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2014-7250","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2014-12-12"},{"cvss_score":5,"headline":"Weak cryptography in n/a","id":"CVE-1999-1098","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2002-03-09"},{"cvss_score":2.1,"headline":"Missing authorization in n/a","id":"CVE-1999-1214","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2002-03-09"},{"cvss_score":2.1,"headline":"Security feature bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-1999-1394","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2001-09-12"}],"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":"open","licence":"CC0","name":"PoC-in-GitHub"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-07","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Remote attackers can exhaust TCP connection queues via state table manipulation, causing denial of service across multiple operating systems.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-4609/"}
