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-2008-5397 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Tor Tor. 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-2008-5397/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-5397/index.md)","id":"CVE-2008-5397","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-5397/index.md","name":"CVE-2008-5397","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2008-5397","GHSA-f53f-xhf2-gxr5"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Tor anonymity network","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Local attackers can gain elevated privileges by exploiting improper handling of user and group configuration options in the Tor process.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"tor","vendor":"tor"}],"cvss":{"score":7.2,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:L/AC:L/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-264","name":null}],"description":"Tor before 0.2.0.32 does not properly process the (1) User and (2) Group configuration options, which might allow local users to gain privileges by leveraging unintended supplementary group memberships of the Tor process.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-5397","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"tor:tor","products":["tor:tor"],"type":"privilege_escalation","year":"2008"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":7,"next":{"headline":"Information disclosure in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-5398"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Integer overflow in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-5396"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2008-12-09","related":[{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2010-1676","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2010-12-22"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Tor before 0.2.0.34 treats incomplete IPv4 addresses as valid, which has unknown impact and attack vectors related to \"Spec conformance,\" as","id":"CVE-2009-0939","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2009-03-18"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2009-0414","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2009-02-03"},{"cvss_score":9.3,"headline":"Information disclosure in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-5398","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2008-12-09"},{"cvss_score":7.6,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2011-2778","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2011-12-23"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Integer overflow in n/a","id":"CVE-2006-3409","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2006-07-07"}],"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":"Local attackers can gain elevated privileges by exploiting improper handling of user and group configuration options in the Tor process.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-5397/"}
