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-2013-1659 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Vmware Esxi. 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-2013-1659/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2013-1659/index.md)","id":"CVE-2013-1659","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2013-1659/index.md","name":"CVE-2013-1659","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-6232-r5r4-983j"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution","denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"VMware vCenter Server","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Man-in-the-middle attackers can execute arbitrary code or cause denial of service via improper NFC protocol implementation in VMware vCenter and ESXi.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"memory_corruption"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"esxi","vendor":"vmware"},{"product":"vcenter_server","vendor":"vmware"},{"product":"vcenter_server_appliance","vendor":"vmware"}],"cvss":{"score":7.6,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:N/AC:H/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[],"description":"VMware vCenter Server 4.0 before Update 4b, 5.0 before Update 2, and 5.1 before 5.1.0b; VMware ESXi 3.5 through 5.1; and VMware ESX 3.5 through 4.1 do not properly implement the Network File Copy (NFC) protocol, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (memory corruption) by modifying the client-server data stream.","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":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2013-1659","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"vmware:esxi","products":["vmware:esxi","vmware:vcenter_server"],"type":"memory_corruption","year":"2013"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"DO NOT USE THIS CANDIDATE NUMBER.","id":"CVE-2013-1660"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Spree Improper Input Validation vulnerability","id":"CVE-2013-1656"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2013-02-22","related":[{"cvss_score":2.7,"headline":"Broadcom VMWare ESX Insufficient Logging","id":"CVE-2026-41709","kev_date_added":"2026-10-28","published":"2026-07-30"},{"cvss_score":9.6,"headline":"Information disclosure in VMware ESXi","id":"CVE-2019-5521","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-09-20"},{"cvss_score":9.3,"headline":"Use-after-free vulnerability","id":"CVE-2024-22252","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-03-05"},{"cvss_score":9.3,"headline":"Cross-site scripting in ESXi","id":"CVE-2020-3955","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-04-29"},{"cvss_score":9.3,"headline":"Auth bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2010-4573","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2010-12-22"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Use after free in ESXi, Workstation, Fusion, VMRC and Horizon Client","id":"CVE-2019-5527","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-10-10"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in VMware ESXi, VMware Workstation, and VMware Fusion","id":"CVE-2018-6981","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2018-12-04"}],"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":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-09-17","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Man-in-the-middle attackers can execute arbitrary code or cause denial of service via improper NFC protocol implementation in VMware vCenter and ESXi.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2013-1659/"}
