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-2008-5618 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-2008-5618/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-5618/index.md)","id":"CVE-2008-5618","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-5618/index.md","name":"CVE-2008-5618","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2008-5618","GHSA-vp77-fmxj-574r"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"rsyslog logging server","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can cause disk consumption denial of service in rsyslog by sending numerous spurious UDP messages without authentication.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"denial_of_service"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"rsyslog","vendor":"rsyslog"}],"cvss":{"score":5,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:P","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[],"description":"imudp in rsyslog 4.x before 4.1.2, 3.21 before 3.21.9 beta, and 3.20 before 3.20.2 generates a message even when it is sent by an unauthorized sender, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (disk consumption) via a large number of spurious messages.","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":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-5618","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"denial_of_service","year":"2008"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"PHPMailer susceptible to arbitrary code execution","id":"CVE-2008-5619"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Auth bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-5617"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2008-12-17","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2019-17040","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-09-30"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Other in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-12588","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-08-06"},{"cvss_score":8.5,"headline":"Auth bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-5617","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2008-12-17"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2014-3634","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2014-11-02"},{"cvss_score":6.8,"headline":"Use after free in n/a","id":"CVE-2013-4758","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2013-10-04"},{"cvss_score":5.5,"headline":"Information disclosure in n/a","id":"CVE-2015-3243","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-07-25"},{"cvss_score":5,"headline":"Integer overflow in n/a","id":"CVE-2014-3683","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2014-11-02"}],"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":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-09-16","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Remote attackers can cause disk consumption denial of service in rsyslog by sending numerous spurious UDP messages without authentication.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-5618/"}
