It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2013-4169 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-2013-4169/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2013-4169/index.md)","id":"CVE-2013-4169","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2013-4169/index.md","name":"CVE-2013-4169","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-j642-2qgg-v4wq","RHSA-2013:1213"],"analysis":{"component_type":"operating_system","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"GNOME Display Manager","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Local attackers can exploit a symlink vulnerability in GNOME Display Manager to change permissions of arbitrary directories, potentially leading to privilege escalation.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"path_traversal"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"redhat","cpe":[{"product":"gnome_display_manager","vendor":"gnome"}],"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-59","name":"Improper Link Resolution Before File Access"}],"description":"GNOME Display Manager (gdm) before 2.21.1 allows local users to change permissions of arbitrary directories via a symlink attack on /tmp/.X11-unix/.","ecosystems":["Red Hat:enterprise_linux:5::server"],"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":"Path traversal in n/a","id":"CVE-2013-4169","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"path_traversal","year":"2013"},"n_packages":5,"n_references":3,"next":{"headline":"Ember.js Potential XSS Exploit When Binding `tagName` to User-Supplied Data","id":"CVE-2013-4170"},"packages":[{"ecosystem":"Red Hat:enterprise_linux:5::server","fixed":["1:2.16.0-59.el5_9.1"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"gdm","purl":"pkg:rpm/redhat/gdm","source":"RHSA-2013:1213"},{"ecosystem":"Red Hat:enterprise_linux:5::server","fixed":["1:2.16.0-59.el5_9.1"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"gdm-debuginfo","purl":"pkg:rpm/redhat/gdm-debuginfo","source":"RHSA-2013:1213"},{"ecosystem":"Red Hat:enterprise_linux:5::server","fixed":["1:2.16.0-59.el5_9.1"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"gdm-docs","purl":"pkg:rpm/redhat/gdm-docs","source":"RHSA-2013:1213"},{"ecosystem":"Red Hat:enterprise_linux:5::server","fixed":["0:8.45.42-2.el5_9.1"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"initscripts","purl":"pkg:rpm/redhat/initscripts","source":"RHSA-2013:1213"},{"ecosystem":"Red Hat:enterprise_linux:5::server","fixed":["0:8.45.42-2.el5_9.1"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"initscripts-debuginfo","purl":"pkg:rpm/redhat/initscripts-debuginfo","source":"RHSA-2013:1213"}],"prev":{"headline":"Cross-site scripting in SmokePing","id":"CVE-2013-4168"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2013-09-10","related":[{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Use after free in n/a","id":"CVE-2018-14424","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2018-08-14"},{"cvss_score":7.2,"headline":"gdm3 would start gnome-initial-setup if it cannot contact accountservice","id":"CVE-2020-16125","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-11-10"},{"cvss_score":6.4,"headline":"Race condition in gdm","id":"CVE-2020-27837","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-12-28"},{"cvss_score":4.1,"headline":"Auth bypass in gdm","id":"CVE-2017-12164","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2018-07-26"},{"cvss_score":2.1,"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2013-7273","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2014-04-29"},{"cvss_score":1.9,"headline":"Information disclosure in n/a","id":"CVE-2010-2387","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2012-12-21"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CC BY 4.0","name":"Red Hat","prefix":"RHSA"},{"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":"2024-09-16","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Local attackers can exploit a symlink vulnerability in GNOME Display Manager to change permissions of arbitrary directories, potentially leading to privilege escalation.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2013-4169/"}
