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-2014-2855 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-2014-2855/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2014-2855/index.md)","id":"CVE-2014-2855","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2014-2855/index.md","name":"CVE-2014-2855","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2014-2855","GHSA-56mx-jc29-3mp9","MGASA-2015-0065","UBUNTU-CVE-2014-2855","USN-2171-1"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"rsync file transfer","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can cause a denial of service in rsync via an infinite loop triggered by a non-existent username in the secrets file.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"denial_of_service"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"canonical","cpe":[{"product":"rsync","vendor":"samba"}],"cvss":{"score":7.8,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:C","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-20","name":"Improper Input Validation"}],"description":"The check_secret function in authenticate.c in rsync 3.1.0 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite loop and CPU consumption) via a user name which does not exist in the secrets file.","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":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2014-2855","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"denial_of_service","year":"2014"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":11,"next":{"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2014-2856"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2014-2854"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2014-04-23","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Security feature bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-15994","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-10-29"},{"cvss_score":9.1,"headline":"rsync \u003c 3.5.0 Daemon IP Spoofing via PROXY Protocol Header","id":"CVE-2026-53791","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-08-13"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"rsync 3.2.5 \u003c 3.5.0 Heap Out-of-Bounds Write via files-from Entry","id":"CVE-2026-70461","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-08-13"},{"cvss_score":8.7,"headline":"rsync 3.4.2 \u003c 3.5.0 DoS via --zt Zstandard Compression Thread Exhaustion","id":"CVE-2026-70455","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-08-13"},{"cvss_score":8.6,"headline":"rsync 3.1.0 \u003c 3.5.0 Authorization Bypass via auth users Directive Parsing","id":"CVE-2026-70463","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-08-13"},{"cvss_score":8.5,"headline":"rsync \u003c 3.5.0 Symlink Following Arbitrary File Overwrite","id":"CVE-2026-53803","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-08-13"},{"cvss_score":8.4,"headline":"rsync \u003c 3.5.0 Path Traversal via Symlink Module Root","id":"CVE-2026-53784","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-08-13"}],"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":"Remote attackers can cause a denial of service in rsync via an infinite loop triggered by a non-existent username in the secrets file.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2014-2855/"}
