An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2008-5660 exists.\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-2008-5660/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-5660/index.md)","id":"CVE-2008-5660","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-5660/index.md","name":"CVE-2008-5660","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2008-5660","GHSA-qq3g-2vhj-h4wr"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"VNC client","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can execute arbitrary code via format string vulnerabilities in Vinagre when processing crafted URIs or VNC responses.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"other"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"vinagre","vendor":"gnome"}],"cvss":{"score":6.8,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-134","name":"Use of Externally-Controlled Format String"}],"description":"Format string vulnerability in the vinagre_utils_show_error function (src/vinagre-utils.c) in Vinagre 0.5.x before 0.5.2 and 2.x before 2.24.2 might allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via format string specifiers in a crafted URI or VNC server response.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":1,"first_seen":"2008-12-09","github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2008-12-09","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"7401","stars":null,"title":"Vinagre \u003c 2.24.2 - 'show_error()' Remote Format String (PoC)"}],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"Other in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-5660","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"other","year":"2008"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":12,"next":{"headline":"Null dereference in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-5661"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Weak cryptography in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-5659"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2008-12-17","related":[],"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)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"GPL-2.0-or-later","name":"Exploit-DB"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-07","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Remote attackers can execute arbitrary code via format string vulnerabilities in Vinagre when processing crafted URIs or VNC responses.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-5660/"}
