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-2013-2179 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-2013-2179/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2013-2179/index.md)","id":"CVE-2013-2179","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2013-2179/index.md","name":"CVE-2013-2179","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-qwx4-h45p-jj95","openSUSE-SU-2024:11519-1"],"analysis":{"component_type":"operating_system","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"X.Org xdm","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can crash X.Org xdm by logging into accounts with invalid password characters, causing a denial of service.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"null_dereference"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"redhat","cpe":[{"product":"x_display_manager","vendor":"x"}],"cvss":{"score":4.3,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:P","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-310","name":null}],"description":"X.Org xdm 1.1.10, 1.1.11, and possibly other versions, when performing authentication using certain implementations of the crypt API function that can return NULL, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and crash) by attempting to log into an account whose password field contains invalid characters, as demonstrated using the crypt function from glibc 2.17 and later with (1) the \"!\" character in the salt portion of a password field or (2) a password that has been encrypted using DES or MD5 in FIPS-140 mode.","ecosystems":["openSUSE:Tumbleweed"],"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":"Null dereference in n/a","id":"CVE-2013-2179","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"null_dereference","year":"2013"},"n_packages":1,"n_references":4,"next":{"headline":"DO NOT USE THIS CANDIDATE NUMBER.","id":"CVE-2013-2180"},"packages":[{"ecosystem":"openSUSE:Tumbleweed","fixed":["1.1.12-16.3"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"xdm","purl":"pkg:rpm/opensuse/xdm\u0026distro=openSUSE%20Tumbleweed","source":"openSUSE-SU-2024:11519-1"}],"prev":{"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2013-2178"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2013-12-27","related":[],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CC BY 4.0","name":"SUSE","prefix":"openSUSE"},{"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 crash X.Org xdm by logging into accounts with invalid password characters, causing a denial of service.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2013-2179/"}
