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-2011-1842 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-2011-1842/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2011-1842/index.md)","id":"CVE-2011-1842","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2011-1842/index.md","name":"CVE-2011-1842","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-vgg4-r596-q6v8"],"analysis":{"component_type":"operating_system","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["privilege_escalation","code_execution"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Ubuntu language selector","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Local attackers can execute arbitrary commands and gain privileges via shell metacharacters in D-Bus arguments in the language-selector component.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"command_injection"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"language-selector","vendor":"ubuntu"}],"cvss":{"score":7.2,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:L/AC:L/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-20","name":"Improper Input Validation"}],"description":"dbus_backend/lsd.py in the D-Bus backend in language-selector before 0.6.7 does not validate the arguments to the (1) SetSystemDefaultLangEnv and (2) SetSystemDefaultLanguageEnv functions, which allows local users to gain privileges via shell metacharacters in a string argument, a different vulnerability than CVE-2011-0729.","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":"Command injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2011-1842","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"command_injection","year":"2011"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":8,"next":{"headline":"Integer overflow in conf.c in Tinyproxy before 1.8.3 might allow remote attackers to bypass intended access restrictions in opportunistic ci","id":"CVE-2011-1843"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2011-1841"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2011-05-03","related":[{"cvss_score":7.2,"headline":"Missing authorization in n/a","id":"CVE-2011-0729","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2011-04-29"}],"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 execute arbitrary commands and gain privileges via shell metacharacters in D-Bus arguments in the language-selector component.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2011-1842/"}
