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-2014-4043/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2014-4043/index.md)","id":"CVE-2014-4043","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2014-4043/index.md","name":"CVE-2014-4043","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2014-4043","GHSA-7fjc-2773-f7m5","UBUNTU-CVE-2014-4043"],"analysis":{"component_type":"library","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"unknown","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"glibc C library","requires_auth":"none","summary":"A use-after-free vulnerability in glibc's posix_spawn_file_actions_addopen allows context-dependent attackers to execute arbitrary code.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"use_after_free"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"glibc","vendor":"gnu"},{"product":"opensuse","vendor":"opensuse"}],"cvss":{"score":7.5,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-94","name":"Improper Control of Generation of Code"}],"description":"The posix_spawn_file_actions_addopen function in glibc before 2.20 does not copy its path argument in accordance with the POSIX specification, which allows context-dependent attackers to trigger use-after-free vulnerabilities.","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":"Use after free in n/a","id":"CVE-2014-4043","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"gnu:glibc","products":["gnu:glibc","opensuse:opensuse"],"type":"use_after_free","year":"2014"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":16,"next":{"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2014-4044"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Information disclosure in n/a","id":"CVE-2014-4040"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2014-10-06","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"scanf %mc off-by-one heap buffer overflow","id":"CVE-2026-5450","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-04-20"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2023-25139","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-02-03"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Other in n/a","id":"CVE-1999-0199","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-10-06"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Security feature bypass in glibc","id":"CVE-2019-1010022","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-07-15"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2005-3590","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-04-10"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-18269","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2018-05-18"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Integer overflow in n/a","id":"CVE-2018-11236","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2018-05-18"}],"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":"A use-after-free vulnerability in glibc's posix_spawn_file_actions_addopen allows context-dependent attackers to execute arbitrary code.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2014-4043/"}
