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-2008-5038 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Novell Edirectory. 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-2008-5038/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-5038/index.md)","id":"CVE-2008-5038","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-5038/index.md","name":"CVE-2008-5038","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-w3mr-x868-44rj"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service","code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Novell eDirectory","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can cause denial of service or execute arbitrary code via a use-after-free flaw in Novell eDirectory's NCP feature.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"use_after_free"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"edirectory","vendor":"novell"}],"cvss":{"score":9.8,"severity":"critical","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-416","name":"Use After Free"}],"description":"Use-after-free vulnerability in the NetWare Core Protocol (NCP) feature in Novell eDirectory 8.7.3 SP10 before 8.7.3 SP10 FTF1 and 8.8 SP2 for Windows allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service and possibly execute arbitrary code via a sequence of \"Get NCP Extension Information By Name\" requests that cause one thread to operate on memory after it has been freed in another thread, which triggers memory corruption, aka Novell Bug 373852.","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":"Use after free in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-5038","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"novell:edirectory","products":["novell:edirectory"],"type":"use_after_free","year":"2008"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":10,"next":{"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-5039"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"SQL injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-5037"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2008-11-12","related":[{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Integer overflow in n/a","id":"CVE-2009-0895","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2009-12-03"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-5091","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2008-11-14"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-5092","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2008-11-14"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-5094","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2008-11-14"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Integer overflow in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-4478","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2008-10-14"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-4479","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2008-10-14"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-4480","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2008-10-14"}],"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":"Remote attackers can cause denial of service or execute arbitrary code via a use-after-free flaw in Novell eDirectory's NCP feature.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-5038/"}
