An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link."},"fix_prompt":"Check this codebase for CVE-2009-1538 and fix it if it is affected.\n\nWhat it is: CVE-2009-1538 is a critical memory corruption vulnerability in Microsoft Windows 2000, published on 15 Jul 2009. An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2009-1538 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Microsoft Windows 2000. 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-2009-1538/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2009-1538/index.md)","id":"CVE-2009-1538","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2009-1538/index.md","name":"CVE-2009-1538","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-q3v5-344h-5c65"],"analysis":{"component_type":"operating_system","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Windows DirectX","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can execute arbitrary code via a crafted QuickTime file due to improper pointer validation in DirectX.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"memory_corruption"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"microsoft","cpe":[{"product":"directx","vendor":"microsoft"},{"product":"windows_2000","vendor":"microsoft"},{"product":"windows_server_2003","vendor":"microsoft"},{"product":"windows_xp","vendor":"microsoft"}],"cvss":{"score":9.3,"severity":"critical","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-20","name":"Improper Input Validation"}],"description":"The QuickTime Movie Parser Filter in quartz.dll in DirectShow in Microsoft DirectX 7.0 through 9.0c on Windows 2000 SP4, Windows XP SP2 and SP3, and Windows Server 2003 SP2 performs updates to pointers without properly validating unspecified data values, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted QuickTime media file, aka \"DirectX Pointer Validation Vulnerability.\"","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-2009-1538","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"microsoft:windows_2000","products":["microsoft:windows_2000","microsoft:windows_server_2003","microsoft:windows_xp"],"type":"memory_corruption","year":"2009"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":6,"next":{"headline":"Code injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2009-1539"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Microsoft DirectX NULL Byte Overwrite","id":"CVE-2009-1537"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2009-07-15","related":[{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Microsoft DirectX NULL Byte Overwrite","id":"CVE-2009-1537","kev_date_added":"2026-05-20","published":"2009-05-29"},{"cvss_score":9.3,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2012-1537","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2012-12-12"},{"cvss_score":9.3,"headline":"Code injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2010-1879","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2010-06-08"},{"cvss_score":9.3,"headline":"Code injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2010-1880","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2010-06-08"},{"cvss_score":9.3,"headline":"Code injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2009-1539","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2009-07-15"},{"cvss_score":9.3,"headline":"Use after free in n/a","id":"CVE-2009-0084","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2009-04-15"}],"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":"Remote attackers can execute arbitrary code via a crafted QuickTime file due to improper pointer validation in DirectX.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2009-1538/"}
