It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2013-1662 exists.\n\nAffected product: Vmware Player. 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-2013-1662/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2013-1662/index.md)","id":"CVE-2013-1662","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2013-1662/index.md","name":"CVE-2013-1662","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-xx33-73cr-ffp7"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"VMware Workstation","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Local attackers can gain host OS privileges by placing a malicious lsb_release binary in the PATH, affecting VMware Workstation and Player on Debian systems.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"player","vendor":"vmware"},{"product":"workstation","vendor":"vmware"}],"cvss":{"score":6.9,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:L/AC:M/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-264","name":null}],"description":"vmware-mount in VMware Workstation 8.x and 9.x and VMware Player 4.x and 5.x, on systems based on Debian GNU/Linux, allows host OS users to gain host OS privileges via a crafted lsb_release binary in a directory in the PATH, related to use of the popen library function.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":2,"first_seen":"2013-08-22","github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":1,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2013-08-22","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"40169","stars":null,"title":"VMware - Setuid VMware-mount Popen lsb_release Privilege Escalation"},{"date":"2013-08-22","kind":"metasploit","ref":"exploit/linux/local/vmware_mount","stars":null,"title":"VMWare Setuid vmware-mount Unsafe popen(3)"},{"date":"2013-08-29","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"27938","stars":null,"title":"VMware - Setuid VMware-mount Unsafe popen(3) (Metasploit)"}],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2013-1662","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"vmware:player","products":["vmware:player","vmware:workstation"],"type":"privilege_escalation","year":"2013"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"XML Entity Expansion (XEE) in Django","id":"CVE-2013-1664"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2013-1661"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2013-08-24","related":[{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2007-5617","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2007-10-21"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-2077","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2016-05-18"},{"cvss_score":8.3,"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2012-5458","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2012-11-14"},{"cvss_score":7.9,"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2012-5459","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2012-11-14"},{"cvss_score":7.2,"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2013-5972","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2013-11-16"},{"cvss_score":7.2,"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2007-5618","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2007-10-21"}],"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":"BSD-3-Clause","name":"Metasploit"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"GPL-2.0-or-later","name":"Exploit-DB"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-09-17","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Local attackers can gain host OS privileges by placing a malicious lsb_release binary in the PATH, affecting VMware Workstation and Player on Debian systems.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2013-1662/"}
