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-2008-5821 exists.\n\nAffected product: Apple Safari. 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-2008-5821/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-5821/index.md)","id":"CVE-2008-5821","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-5821/index.md","name":"CVE-2008-5821","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-j9x2-w3ff-pqpp"],"analysis":{"component_type":"browser","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Apple Safari browser","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can cause a browser crash and memory exhaustion via a crafted HTML document, affecting Apple Safari users.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"denial_of_service"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"safari","vendor":"apple"}],"cvss":{"score":5,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:P","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-399","name":null}],"description":"Memory leak in WebKit.dll in WebKit, as used by Apple Safari 3.2 on Windows Vista SP1, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption and browser crash) via a long ALINK attribute in a BODY element in an HTML document.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":3,"first_seen":"2009-01-01","github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2009-01-01","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"32694","stars":null,"title":"Apple Safari 3.2 WebKit - 'alink' Property Memory Leak Remote Denial of Service (1)"},{"date":"2009-01-01","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"32695","stars":null,"title":"Apple Safari 3.2 WebKit - 'alink' Property Memory Leak Remote Denial of Service (2)"},{"date":"2010-04-26","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"12408","stars":null,"title":"Apple Safari 4.0.5 (531.22.7) - Denial of Service"}],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-5821","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"apple:safari","products":["apple:safari"],"type":"denial_of_service","year":"2008"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":4,"next":{"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-5822"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"SQL injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-5820"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2009-01-02","related":[{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Security feature bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2015-5780","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2015-10-09"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Code injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2014-1300","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2014-03-26"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2014-1303","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2014-03-26"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Code injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2010-1120","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2010-03-25"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2009-0137","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2009-02-13"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Integer overflow in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-2303","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2008-07-14"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Information disclosure in n/a","id":"CVE-2007-2843","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2007-05-24"}],"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 cause a browser crash and memory exhaustion via a crafted HTML document, affecting Apple Safari users.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-5821/"}
