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-2014-4040 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-2014-4040/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2014-4040/index.md)","id":"CVE-2014-4040","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2014-4040/index.md","name":"CVE-2014-4040","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2014-4040","GHSA-c7rv-hg7f-px75","RHSA-2015:0384","SUSE-RU-2015:0574-1","SUSE-SU-2015:0232-1","SUSE-SU-2025:21067-1"],"analysis":{"component_type":"operating_system","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["data_read"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux powerpc utilities","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can obtain sensitive information, including cleartext passwords, from support archives generated by powerpc-utils.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"information_disclosure"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"powerpc-utils","vendor":"powerpc-utils_project"}],"cvss":{"score":5,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:N/A:N","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-310","name":null}],"description":"snap in powerpc-utils 1.2.20 produces an archive with fstab and yaboot.conf files potentially containing cleartext passwords, and lacks a warning about reviewing this archive to detect included passwords, which might allow remote attackers to obtain sensitive information by leveraging access to a technical-support data stream.","ecosystems":["Red Hat:enterprise_linux:7::server","SUSE:Linux Enterprise Server 12","SUSE:Linux Enterprise Server for SAP Applications 12","SUSE:Linux Micro 6.1"],"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":"Information disclosure in n/a","id":"CVE-2014-4040","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"information_disclosure","year":"2014"},"n_packages":5,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"Use after free in n/a","id":"CVE-2014-4043"},"packages":[{"ecosystem":"Red Hat:enterprise_linux:7::server","fixed":["0:1.2.24-7.el7"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"powerpc-utils","purl":"pkg:rpm/redhat/powerpc-utils","source":"RHSA-2015:0384"},{"ecosystem":"Red Hat:enterprise_linux:7::server","fixed":["0:1.2.24-7.el7"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"powerpc-utils-debuginfo","purl":"pkg:rpm/redhat/powerpc-utils-debuginfo","source":"RHSA-2015:0384"},{"ecosystem":"SUSE:Linux Enterprise Server 12","fixed":["1.2.22-7.1"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"powerpc-utils","purl":"pkg:rpm/suse/powerpc-utils\u0026distro=SUSE%20Linux%20Enterprise%20Server%2012","source":"SUSE-SU-2015:0232-1"},{"ecosystem":"SUSE:Linux Enterprise Server for SAP Applications 12","fixed":["1.2.22-7.1"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"powerpc-utils","purl":"pkg:rpm/suse/powerpc-utils\u0026distro=SUSE%20Linux%20Enterprise%20Server%20for%20SAP%20Applications%2012","source":"SUSE-SU-2015:0232-1"},{"ecosystem":"SUSE:Linux Micro 6.1","fixed":["1.3.12-slfo.1.1_5.1"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"powerpc-utils","purl":"pkg:rpm/suse/powerpc-utils\u0026distro=SUSE%20Linux%20Micro%206.1","source":"SUSE-SU-2025:21067-1"}],"prev":{"headline":"Information disclosure in n/a","id":"CVE-2014-4039"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2014-06-17","related":[{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Deserialization in n/a","id":"CVE-2014-8165","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2015-02-19"}],"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":"CC BY 4.0","name":"SUSE","prefix":"SUSE"},{"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 obtain sensitive information, including cleartext passwords, from support archives generated by powerpc-utils.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2014-4040/"}
