An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2012-3523 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-2012-3523/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2012-3523/index.md)","id":"CVE-2012-3523","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2012-3523/index.md","name":"CVE-2012-3523","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2012-3523","GHSA-g67q-3725-x6h7"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_modify","security_bypass"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"INN news server","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Man-in-the-middle attackers can inject commands into encrypted NNTP sessions due to improper I/O buffering in INN's STARTTLS implementation.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"other"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"redhat","cpe":[{"product":"inn","vendor":"isc"}],"cvss":{"score":6.8,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-264","name":null}],"description":"The STARTTLS implementation in nnrpd in INN before 2.5.3 does not properly restrict I/O buffering, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to insert commands into encrypted sessions by sending a cleartext command that is processed after TLS is in place, related to a \"plaintext command injection\" attack, a similar issue to CVE-2011-0411.","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":"Other in n/a","id":"CVE-2012-3523","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"other","year":"2012"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":3,"next":{"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2012-3524"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"GeSHi vulnerable to Cross-site Scripting","id":"CVE-2012-3522"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2012-11-11","related":[{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2002-0525","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2002-06-11"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-1999-0754","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2000-06-02"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Auth bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-1999-0100","kev_date_added":null,"published":"1999-09-29"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2004-0045","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2004-09-01"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-1999-0247","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2000-10-13"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Buffer overflow in INN inews program.","id":"CVE-1999-0705","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2000-01-04"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-1999-0706","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2000-01-04"}],"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":"Man-in-the-middle attackers can inject commands into encrypted NNTP sessions due to improper I/O buffering in INN's STARTTLS implementation.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2012-3523/"}
