It can be exploited over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2008-5092 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-2008-5092/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-5092/index.md)","id":"CVE-2008-5092","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-5092/index.md","name":"CVE-2008-5092","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-rv4m-vmcf-vc52"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution","denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Novell eDirectory","requires_auth":"unknown","summary":"Heap-based buffer overflows in Novell eDirectory HTTP stack allow attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause denial of service via crafted headers.","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":"Heap-based buffer overflows in Novell eDirectory HTTP protocol stack (HTTPSTK) before 8.8 SP3 have unknown impact and attack vectors related to the (1) HTTP language header and (2) HTTP content-length header.","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-2008-5092","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":4,"next":{"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-5093"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-5091"},"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-2008-5091","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":"Heap-based buffer overflows in Novell eDirectory HTTP stack allow attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause denial of service via crafted headers.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-5092/"}
