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-2008-4914 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Vmware Esx. 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-2008-4914/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-4914/index.md)","id":"CVE-2008-4914","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-4914/index.md","name":"CVE-2008-4914","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-26wx-wm74-72f9"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"VMware ESX/ESXi","requires_auth":"high_privilege","summary":"Local administrators can crash the host by creating a snapshot with a malformed VMDK delta disk in VMware ESX/ESXi.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"denial_of_service"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"esx","vendor":"vmware"},{"product":"esxi","vendor":"vmware"}],"cvss":{"score":4.7,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:L/AC:M/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:C","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[],"description":"Unspecified vulnerability in VMware ESXi 3.5 before ESXe350-200901401-I-SG and ESX 3.5 before ESX350-200901401-SG allows local administrators to cause a denial of service (host crash) via a snapshot with a malformed VMDK delta disk.","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":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-4914","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"vmware:esx","products":["vmware:esx","vmware:esxi"],"type":"denial_of_service","year":"2008"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":6,"next":{"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-4915"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Path traversal in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-4913"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2009-02-03","related":[{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Auth bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2013-1405","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2013-02-15"},{"cvss_score":9.9,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2012-1516","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2012-05-04"},{"cvss_score":9.4,"headline":"Path traversal in n/a","id":"CVE-2013-3658","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2013-09-10"},{"cvss_score":9.3,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2012-3288","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2012-06-14"},{"cvss_score":9.3,"headline":"Path traversal in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-4281","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2008-11-10"},{"cvss_score":9,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2012-1517","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2012-05-04"},{"cvss_score":9,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2012-2449","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2012-05-04"}],"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":"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 administrators can crash the host by creating a snapshot with a malformed VMDK delta disk in VMware ESX/ESXi.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-4914/"}
