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-2009-3940 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-2009-3940/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2009-3940/index.md)","id":"CVE-2009-3940","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2009-3940/index.md","name":"CVE-2009-3940","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-96hr-q94p-6j22"],"analysis":{"component_type":"operating_system","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"VirtualBox Guest Additions","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Guest OS users can cause a denial of service via memory consumption in VirtualBox Guest Additions, requiring an upgrade to mitigate.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"denial_of_service"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"virtualbox","vendor":"sun"},{"product":"xvm_virtualbox","vendor":"sun"}],"cvss":{"score":2.1,"severity":"low","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:L/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:P","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[],"description":"Unspecified vulnerability in Guest Additions in Sun xVM VirtualBox 1.6.x and 2.0.x before 2.0.12, 2.1.x, and 2.2.x, and Sun VirtualBox before 3.0.10, allows guest OS users to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) on the guest OS via unknown vectors.","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":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2009-3940","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"denial_of_service","year":"2009"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":3,"next":{"headline":"Security feature bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2009-3941"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Misconfiguration in n/a","id":"CVE-2009-3939"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2009-11-16","related":[{"cvss_score":7.2,"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2009-3692","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2009-10-13"},{"cvss_score":4.9,"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2009-2714","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2009-08-07"},{"cvss_score":4.9,"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2009-2715","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2009-08-07"}],"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":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-07","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Guest OS users can cause a denial of service via memory consumption in VirtualBox Guest Additions, requiring an upgrade to mitigate.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2009-3940/"}
