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-2009-5081 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-2009-5081/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2009-5081/index.md)","id":"CVE-2009-5081","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2009-5081/index.md","name":"CVE-2009-5081","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2009-5081","GHSA-8mmw-rg27-gmpp"],"analysis":{"component_type":"operating_system","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["data_modify"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"GNU troff utility","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Local attackers can overwrite arbitrary files via symlink attacks on temporary files due to insufficient randomization in GNU troff scripts.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"path_traversal"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"groff","vendor":"gnu"}],"cvss":{"score":3.3,"severity":"low","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:L/AC:M/Au:N/C:N/I:P/A:P","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-59","name":"Improper Link Resolution Before File Access"}],"description":"The (1) config.guess, (2) contrib/groffer/perl/groffer.pl, and (3) contrib/groffer/perl/roff2.pl scripts in GNU troff (aka groff) 1.21 and earlier use an insufficient number of X characters in the template argument to the tempfile function, which makes it easier for local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on a temporary file, a different vulnerability than CVE-2004-0969.","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-2009-5081","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"path_traversal","year":"2009"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":5,"next":{"headline":"Path traversal in n/a","id":"CVE-2009-5082"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Path traversal in n/a","id":"CVE-2009-5080"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2011-06-30","related":[{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2000-0803","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2001-05-07"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2001-1022","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2002-06-25"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2002-0003","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2002-06-25"},{"cvss_score":3.3,"headline":"Path traversal in n/a","id":"CVE-2009-5079","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2011-06-30"},{"cvss_score":3.3,"headline":"Path traversal in n/a","id":"CVE-2009-5080","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2011-06-30"},{"cvss_score":3.3,"headline":"Path traversal in n/a","id":"CVE-2009-5082","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2011-06-30"}],"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 temporary files due to insufficient randomization in GNU troff scripts.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2009-5081/"}
