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-2009-0538 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-2009-0538/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2009-0538/index.md)","id":"CVE-2009-0538","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2009-0538/index.md","name":"CVE-2009-0538","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-c435-2cgx-2393"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution","denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Remote control software","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Local attackers can exploit a format string vulnerability in Symantec pcAnywhere to read/modify memory, causing crashes or potential code execution.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"memory_corruption"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"pcanywhere","vendor":"symantec"}],"cvss":{"score":4.6,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:L/AC:L/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 Symantec pcAnywhere before 12.5 SP1 allows local users to read and modify arbitrary memory locations, and cause a denial of service (application crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact, via format string specifiers in the pathname of a remote control file (aka .CHF file).","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2009-0538","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"memory_corruption","year":"2009"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":9,"next":{"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2009-0540"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Integer overflow in n/a","id":"CVE-2009-0537"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2009-03-18","related":[{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Auth bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2011-3478","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2012-01-25"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Weak cryptography in n/a","id":"CVE-2000-0300","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2000-04-26"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2005-3934","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2005-12-01"},{"cvss_score":7.2,"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2006-3784","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2006-07-21"},{"cvss_score":7.2,"headline":"Command injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2005-1970","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2005-06-14"},{"cvss_score":7.2,"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2003-0936","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2003-11-18"},{"cvss_score":6.8,"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2011-3479","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2012-01-25"}],"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":"Local attackers can exploit a format string vulnerability in Symantec pcAnywhere to read/modify memory, causing crashes or potential code execution.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2009-0538/"}
