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-2008-5091 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-2008-5091/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-5091/index.md)","id":"CVE-2008-5091","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-5091/index.md","name":"CVE-2008-5091","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-p55f-37vx-wvm6"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Novell eDirectory","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can crash the Novell eDirectory LDAP service via a buffer overflow in invalid extensibleMatch filters, causing denial of service.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"memory_corruption"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"edirectory","vendor":"novell"}],"cvss":{"score":10,"severity":"critical","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-119","name":"Improper Restriction of Operations within the Bounds of a Memory Buffer"}],"description":"Buffer overflow in the LDAP Service in Novell eDirectory 8.7.3 before SP10a and 8.8 before SP3 allows attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via vectors involving an \"invalid extensibleMatch filter.\"","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":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-5091","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"novell:edirectory","products":["novell:edirectory"],"type":"memory_corruption","year":"2008"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":8,"next":{"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-5092"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Code injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-5090"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2008-11-14","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-2008-5092","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":"Attackers can crash the Novell eDirectory LDAP service via a buffer overflow in invalid extensibleMatch filters, causing denial of service.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-5091/"}
