An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link."},"fix_prompt":"Check this codebase for CVE-2012-2556 and fix it if it is affected.\n\nWhat it is: CVE-2012-2556 is a critical code injection vulnerability in Microsoft Windows 2003 Server, published on 12 Dec 2012. An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2012-2556 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Microsoft Windows 2003 Server. 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-2012-2556/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2012-2556/index.md)","id":"CVE-2012-2556","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2012-2556/index.md","name":"CVE-2012-2556","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-x4fw-2374-xpjm"],"analysis":{"component_type":"operating_system","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Windows OS","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can execute arbitrary code by tricking users into opening a crafted OpenType font file in Microsoft Windows.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"code_injection"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"microsoft","cpe":[{"product":"windows_2003_server","vendor":"microsoft"},{"product":"windows_7","vendor":"microsoft"},{"product":"windows_8","vendor":"microsoft"},{"product":"windows_rt","vendor":"microsoft"},{"product":"windows_server_2003","vendor":"microsoft"},{"product":"windows_server_2008","vendor":"microsoft"},{"product":"windows_server_2012","vendor":"microsoft"},{"product":"windows_vista","vendor":"microsoft"},{"product":"windows_xp","vendor":"microsoft"}],"cvss":{"score":9.3,"severity":"critical","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-94","name":"Improper Control of Generation of Code"}],"description":"The OpenType Font (OTF) driver in the kernel-mode drivers in Microsoft Windows XP SP2 and SP3, Windows Server 2003 SP2, Windows Vista SP2, Windows Server 2008 SP2, R2, and R2 SP1, Windows 7 Gold and SP1, Windows 8, Windows Server 2012, and Windows RT allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted OpenType font file, aka \"OpenType Font Parsing Vulnerability.\"","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":"Code injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2012-2556","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"microsoft:windows_2003_server","products":["microsoft:windows_2003_server","microsoft:windows_7","microsoft:windows_8","microsoft:windows_rt","microsoft:windows_server_2003","microsoft:windows_server_2008","microsoft:windows_server_2012","microsoft:windows_vista","microsoft:windows_xp"],"type":"code_injection","year":"2012"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":3,"next":{"headline":"Use after free in n/a","id":"CVE-2012-2557"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"DO NOT USE THIS CANDIDATE NUMBER.","id":"CVE-2012-2555"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2012-12-12","related":[{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Microsoft Windows Video ActiveX Control Remote Code Execution","id":"CVE-2008-0015","kev_date_added":"2026-02-17","published":"2009-07-07"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Microsoft Win32k Privilege Escalation","id":"CVE-2015-1701","kev_date_added":"2022-03-03","published":"2015-04-21"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Microsoft Windows Kernel Privilege Escalation","id":"CVE-2013-5065","kev_date_added":"2022-03-03","published":"2013-11-27"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Code injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2011-1268","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2011-06-16"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2011-1868","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2011-06-16"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2011-0661","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2011-04-13"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Integer overflow in n/a","id":"CVE-2011-0654","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2011-02-16"}],"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":"Remote attackers can execute arbitrary code by tricking users into opening a crafted OpenType font file in Microsoft Windows.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2012-2556/"}
