It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, 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-2008-6252 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-2008-6252/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-6252/index.md)","id":"CVE-2008-6252","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-6252/index.md","name":"CVE-2008-6252","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-35j8-v8xw-wrrr"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution","privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"macOS fan control app","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Local attackers can execute arbitrary code and gain privileges via a stack-based buffer overflow in the smc program's long -k option.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"memory_corruption"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"smcfancontrol","vendor":"smcfancontrol"}],"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-119","name":"Improper Restriction of Operations within the Bounds of a Memory Buffer"}],"description":"Stack-based buffer overflow in the smc program in smcFanControl 2.1.2 allows local users to execute arbitrary code and gain privileges via a long -k option.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":1,"first_seen":"2008-11-11","github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2008-11-11","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"7088","stars":null,"title":"smcFanControl 2.1.2 (OSX) - Multiple Buffer Overflow Vulnerabilities (PoC)"}],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-6252","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"memory_corruption","year":"2008"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":8,"next":{"headline":"Path traversal in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-6253"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Code injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-6251"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2009-02-24","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":"Local attackers can execute arbitrary code and gain privileges via a stack-based buffer overflow in the smc program's long -k option.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-6252/"}
