It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2012-2738 exists.\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-2012-2738/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2012-2738/index.md)","id":"CVE-2012-2738","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2012-2738/index.md","name":"CVE-2012-2738","record":{"aliases":["ALPINE-CVE-2012-2738","DEBIAN-CVE-2012-2738","GHSA-55r6-7773-xfwg","OESA-2022-1648","openSUSE-SU-2024:10407-1"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"GNOME Terminal","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can cause a denial of service in GNOME Terminal via a crafted escape sequence with a large repeat count, requiring user interaction.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"denial_of_service"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"redhat","cpe":[{"product":"vte","vendor":"nalin_dahyabhai"}],"cvss":{"score":4,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:N/AC:L/Au:S/C:N/I:N/A:P","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-119","name":"Improper Restriction of Operations within the Bounds of a Memory Buffer"}],"description":"The VteTerminal in gnome-terminal (vte) before 0.32.2 allows remote authenticated users to cause a denial of service (long loop and CPU consumption) via an escape sequence with a large repeat count value.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":1,"first_seen":"2012-07-03","github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2012-07-03","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"37477","stars":null,"title":"gnome-terminal (vte) VteTerminal - Escape Sequence Parsing Remote Denial of Service"}],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2012-2738","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"denial_of_service","year":"2012"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":10,"next":{"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2012-2739"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Race condition in n/a","id":"CVE-2012-2737"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2012-07-22","related":[{"cvss_score":6.8,"headline":"Command injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2010-2713","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2010-08-05"}],"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)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"GPL-2.0-or-later","name":"Exploit-DB"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-06","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Remote attackers can cause a denial of service in GNOME Terminal via a crafted escape sequence with a large repeat count, requiring user interaction.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2012-2738/"}
