It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2009-4118 exists.\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-2009-4118/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2009-4118/index.md)","id":"CVE-2009-4118","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2009-4118/index.md","name":"CVE-2009-4118","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-r65m-rpw4-4w3f"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Cisco VPN client","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Local users can crash the Cisco VPN client service and disconnect VPN sessions by manually starting the service executable while it is already running.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"denial_of_service"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"vpn_client","vendor":"cisco"}],"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":"The StartServiceCtrlDispatcher function in the cvpnd service (cvpnd.exe) in Cisco VPN client for Windows before 5.0.06.0100 does not properly handle an ERROR_FAILED_SERVICE_CONTROLLER_CONNECT error, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (service crash and VPN connection loss) via a manual start of cvpnd.exe while the cvpnd service is running.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":1,"first_seen":"2009-11-21","github_poc":1,"max_poc_stars":0,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2009-11-21","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"10190","stars":null,"title":"Cisco VPN Client - Integer Overflow Denial of Service"},{"date":"2018-04-02T23:19:47Z","kind":"github_poc","ref":"https://github.com/alt3kx/CVE-2009-4118","stars":0,"title":"Cisco VPN Client - Integer Overflow Denial of Service"}],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2009-4118","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"denial_of_service","year":"2009"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":5,"next":{"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2009-4119"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2009-4117"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2009-12-01","related":[{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Security feature bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2002-1106","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2004-09-01"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Weak cryptography in n/a","id":"CVE-2002-1107","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2004-09-01"},{"cvss_score":7.2,"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2015-7600","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2015-10-06"},{"cvss_score":7.2,"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2006-2679","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2006-05-31"},{"cvss_score":7.2,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2002-1447","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2004-09-01"},{"cvss_score":6.9,"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2012-3052","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2012-09-16"},{"cvss_score":6.8,"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2011-2678","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2011-07-07"}],"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)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"GPL-2.0-or-later","name":"Exploit-DB"},{"class":"open","licence":"CC0","name":"PoC-in-GitHub"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-09-16","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Local users can crash the Cisco VPN client service and disconnect VPN sessions by manually starting the service executable while it is already running.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2009-4118/"}
