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-2011-0017 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Exim Exim. 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-2011-0017/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2011-0017/index.md)","id":"CVE-2011-0017","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2011-0017/index.md","name":"CVE-2011-0017","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2011-0017","GHSA-6w36-rjfw-vf62"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_modify"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Exim mail server","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Local attackers can append data to arbitrary files via symlink attacks due to unchecked setuid/setgid return values in Exim.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"path_traversal"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"redhat","cpe":[{"product":"exim","vendor":"exim"}],"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"},{"id":"CWE-20","name":"Improper Input Validation"}],"description":"The open_log function in log.c in Exim 4.72 and earlier does not check the return value from (1) setuid or (2) setgid system calls, which allows local users to append log data to arbitrary files via a symlink attack.","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-2011-0017","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"exim:exim","products":["exim:exim"],"type":"path_traversal","year":"2011"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":15,"next":{"headline":"Command injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2011-0018"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Information disclosure in n/a","id":"CVE-2011-0016"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2011-02-02","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Use after free in Exim","id":"CVE-2026-45185","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-05-12"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Exim AUTH Out-Of-Bounds Write Remote Code Execution Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2023-42115","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-05-03"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Integer overflow in n/a","id":"CVE-2020-28017","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-05-06"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Use after free in n/a","id":"CVE-2020-28018","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-05-06"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Integer overflow in n/a","id":"CVE-2020-28020","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-05-06"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2020-28022","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-05-06"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2020-28024","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-05-06"}],"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":"2024-08-06","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Local attackers can append data to arbitrary files via symlink attacks due to unchecked setuid/setgid return values in Exim.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2011-0017/"}
