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-2009-2939 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-2009-2939/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2009-2939/index.md)","id":"CVE-2009-2939","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2009-2939/index.md","name":"CVE-2009-2939","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2009-2939","GHSA-rpqw-5g6j-x944"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["data_modify","privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Postfix mail server","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Local attackers can exploit symlink vulnerabilities in Postfix PID directory permissions to overwrite arbitrary files and potentially escalate privileges.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"path_traversal"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"postfix","vendor":"postfix"}],"cvss":{"score":6.9,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:L/AC:M/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-59","name":"Improper Link Resolution Before File Access"}],"description":"The postfix.postinst script in the Debian GNU/Linux and Ubuntu postfix 2.5.5 package grants the postfix user write access to /var/spool/postfix/pid, which might allow local users to conduct symlink attacks that overwrite arbitrary files.","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":"Path traversal in n/a","id":"CVE-2009-2939","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"path_traversal","year":"2009"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"PyGreSQL Might Be Vulnerable to Encoding-Based SQL Injection","id":"CVE-2009-2940"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2009-2937"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2009-09-21","related":[{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-10140","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2018-04-16"},{"cvss_score":6.9,"headline":"Path traversal in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-4977","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2008-11-06"},{"cvss_score":6.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2011-1720","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2011-05-13"},{"cvss_score":6.8,"headline":"Security feature bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2011-0411","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2011-03-16"},{"cvss_score":6.5,"headline":"SQL injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2012-0811","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2014-10-01"},{"cvss_score":6.2,"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-2936","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2008-08-18"}],"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":"Local attackers can exploit symlink vulnerabilities in Postfix PID directory permissions to overwrite arbitrary files and potentially escalate privileges.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2009-2939/"}
