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-2009-5023 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-2009-5023/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2009-5023/index.md)","id":"CVE-2009-5023","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2009-5023/index.md","name":"CVE-2009-5023","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2009-5023","GHSA-h7g6-frrr-69cx"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_modify"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Fail2ban intrusion prevention","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Local attackers can overwrite arbitrary files via symlink attacks on predictable temporary files in Fail2ban actions.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"path_traversal"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"redhat","cpe":[{"product":"fail2ban","vendor":"fail2ban"}],"cvss":{"score":4.7,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:L/AC:M/Au:N/C:N/I:C/A:N","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-59","name":"Improper Link Resolution Before File Access"}],"description":"The (1) dshield.conf, (2) mail-buffered.conf, (3) mynetwatchman.conf, and (4) mynetwatchman.conf actions in action.d/ in Fail2ban before 0.8.5 allows local users to write to arbitrary files via a symlink attack on temporary files with predictable names, as demonstrated by /tmp/fail2ban-mail.txt.","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-2009-5023","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"path_traversal","year":"2009"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":4,"next":{"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2009-5024"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2009-5022"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2014-06-10","related":[{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Command injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2012-5642","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2012-12-31"},{"cvss_score":6.8,"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2007-4321","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2007-08-14"},{"cvss_score":6.1,"headline":"Possible RCE vulnerability in mailing action using mailutils (mail-whois)","id":"CVE-2021-32749","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-07-16"},{"cvss_score":5,"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2013-7176","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2014-02-01"},{"cvss_score":5,"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2013-7177","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2014-02-01"},{"cvss_score":5,"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2013-2178","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2013-08-28"},{"cvss_score":5,"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2006-6302","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2006-12-06"}],"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 overwrite arbitrary files via symlink attacks on predictable temporary files in Fail2ban actions.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2009-5023/"}
