It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2008-6792 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-2008-6792/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-6792/index.md)","id":"CVE-2008-6792","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-6792/index.md","name":"CVE-2008-6792","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2008-6792","GHSA-2v3q-89pj-mhxh"],"analysis":{"component_type":"operating_system","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["account_takeover"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Ubuntu system tools","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Weak 3DES hashing in Ubuntu system tools limits password length, facilitating brute-force attacks to compromise user accounts.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"weak_cryptography"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"linux","vendor":"ubuntu"}],"cvss":{"score":5,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:N/A:N","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-310","name":null}],"description":"system-tools-backends before 2.6.0-1ubuntu1.1 in Ubuntu 8.10, as used by \"Users and Groups\" in GNOME System Tools, hashes account passwords with 3DES and consequently limits effective password lengths to eight characters, which makes it easier for context-dependent attackers to successfully conduct brute-force password attacks.","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":"Weak cryptography in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-6792","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"weak_cryptography","year":"2008"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":5,"next":{"headline":"Command injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-6793"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-6791"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2009-05-07","related":[{"cvss_score":9.3,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-4306","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2008-11-04"},{"cvss_score":6.8,"headline":"Missing authorization in n/a","id":"CVE-2009-1601","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2009-05-11"},{"cvss_score":5,"headline":"Security feature bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-2285","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2008-05-18"}],"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":"Weak 3DES hashing in Ubuntu system tools limits password length, facilitating brute-force attacks to compromise user accounts.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-6792/"}
