An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2008-5424 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: n/a. 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-2008-5424/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-5424/index.md)","id":"CVE-2008-5424","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-5424/index.md","name":"CVE-2008-5424","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-phxj-wq6j-j348"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Outlook Express","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can cause a denial of service in Outlook Express via specially crafted large email messages triggering an infinite loop.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"denial_of_service"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"outlook_express","vendor":"microsoft"}],"cvss":{"score":4.3,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:P","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-399","name":null}],"description":"The MimeOleClearDirtyTree function in InetComm.dll in Microsoft Outlook Express 6.00.2900.5512 does not properly handle (1) multipart/mixed e-mail messages with many MIME parts and possibly (2) e-mail messages with many \"Content-type: message/rfc822;\" headers, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite loop) via a large e-mail message, a related issue to CVE-2006-1173.","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-2008-5424","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"denial_of_service","year":"2008"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":5,"next":{"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-5425"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Information disclosure in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-5423"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2008-12-11","related":[{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Security feature bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2004-0380","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2004-04-06"},{"cvss_score":9.3,"headline":"Path traversal in n/a","id":"CVE-2010-3147","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2010-08-27"},{"cvss_score":9.3,"headline":"Integer overflow in n/a","id":"CVE-2010-0816","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2010-05-12"},{"cvss_score":9.3,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2007-3897","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2007-10-09"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Security feature bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2001-1547","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2005-07-14"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2005-1213","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2005-06-14"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2002-1179","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2004-09-01"}],"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 a denial of service in Outlook Express via specially crafted large email messages triggering an infinite loop.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-5424/"}
