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-2014-4014 exists.\n\nAffected product: Linux kernel. 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-2014-4014/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2014-4014/index.md)","id":"CVE-2014-4014","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2014-4014/index.md","name":"CVE-2014-4014","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2014-4014","GHSA-73cf-9h72-w34c","UBUNTU-CVE-2014-4014"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Local attackers can bypass chmod restrictions and escalate privileges by exploiting a flaw in Linux kernel capabilities and namespace handling.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"linux_kernel","vendor":"linux"}],"cvss":{"score":6.2,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:L/AC:H/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-264","name":null}],"description":"The capabilities implementation in the Linux kernel before 3.14.8 does not properly consider that namespaces are inapplicable to inodes, which allows local users to bypass intended chmod restrictions by first creating a user namespace, as demonstrated by setting the setgid bit on a file with group ownership of root.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":1,"first_seen":"2014-06-21","github_poc":1,"max_poc_stars":2,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2019-07-23T12:24:43Z","kind":"github_poc","ref":"https://github.com/vnik5287/cve-2014-4014-privesc","stars":2,"title":"cve-2014-4014"},{"date":"2014-06-21","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"33824","stars":null,"title":"Linux Kernel 3.13 - SGID Privilege Escalation"}],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2014-4014","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"linux:linux_kernel","products":["linux:linux_kernel"],"type":"privilege_escalation","year":"2014"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":10,"next":{"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2014-4017"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"SQL injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2014-4013"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2014-06-23","related":[{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Linux Kernel Out-of-Bounds Write","id":"CVE-2026-53266","kev_date_added":"2026-09-18","published":"2026-06-25"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Linux Kernel Improper Input Validation","id":"CVE-2013-6282","kev_date_added":"2022-09-15","published":"2013-11-19"},{"cvss_score":8.4,"headline":"Linux Kernel Heap-Based Buffer Overflow","id":"CVE-2022-0185","kev_date_added":"2024-08-21","published":"2022-02-11"},{"cvss_score":8.4,"headline":"Linux Kernel Privilege Escalation","id":"CVE-2013-2094","kev_date_added":"2022-09-15","published":"2013-05-14"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Linux Kernel Unspecified","id":"CVE-2026-53362","kev_date_added":"2026-08-27","published":"2026-07-04"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Linux Kernel Missing Initialization of a Variable","id":"CVE-2026-46300","kev_date_added":"2026-10-28","published":"2026-05-23"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Linux Kernel Race Condition","id":"CVE-2025-39964","kev_date_added":"2026-09-18","published":"2025-10-13"}],"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)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"GPL-2.0-or-later","name":"Exploit-DB"},{"class":"open","licence":"CC0","name":"PoC-in-GitHub"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-06","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Local attackers can bypass chmod restrictions and escalate privileges by exploiting a flaw in Linux kernel capabilities and namespace handling.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2014-4014/"}
