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-2014-4971 exists.\n\nAffected product: Microsoft Windows Xp. 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-2014-4971/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2014-4971/index.md)","id":"CVE-2014-4971","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2014-4971/index.md","name":"CVE-2014-4971","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-r97w-68rj-55vf"],"analysis":{"component_type":"operating_system","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["privilege_escalation","code_execution"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Windows OS","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Local attackers can exploit improper address validation in Windows XP drivers to write to arbitrary memory and gain elevated privileges.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"memory_corruption"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"windows_xp","vendor":"microsoft"}],"cvss":{"score":7.2,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:L/AC:L/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-20","name":"Improper Input Validation"}],"description":"Microsoft Windows XP SP3 does not validate addresses in certain IRP handler routines, which allows local users to write data to arbitrary memory locations, and consequently gain privileges, via a crafted address in an IOCTL call, related to (1) the MQAC.sys driver in the MQ Access Control subsystem and (2) the BthPan.sys driver in the Bluetooth Personal Area Networking subsystem.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":4,"first_seen":"2014-07-18","github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":2,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2014-07-18","kind":"metasploit","ref":"exploit/windows/local/bthpan","stars":null,"title":"MS14-062 Microsoft Bluetooth Personal Area Networking (BthPan.sys) Privilege Escalation"},{"date":"2014-07-19","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"34112","stars":null,"title":"Microsoft Windows XP SP3 - 'MQAC.sys' Arbitrary Write Privilege Escalation"},{"date":"2014-07-21","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"34131","stars":null,"title":"Microsoft Windows XP SP3 - 'BthPan.sys' Arbitrary Write Privilege Escalation"},{"date":"2014-07-22","kind":"metasploit","ref":"exploit/windows/local/mqac_write","stars":null,"title":"MQAC.sys Arbitrary Write Privilege Escalation"},{"date":"2014-07-25","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"34167","stars":null,"title":"Microsoft Windows XP SP3 - 'MQAC.sys' Arbitrary Write Privilege Escalation (Metasploit)"},{"date":"2014-10-15","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"34982","stars":null,"title":"Microsoft Bluetooth Personal Area Networking - 'BthPan.sys' Local Privilege Escalation (Metasploit)"}],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2014-4971","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"microsoft:windows_xp","products":["microsoft:windows_xp"],"type":"memory_corruption","year":"2014"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":18,"next":{"headline":"File upload in n/a","id":"CVE-2014-4972"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Code injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2014-4968"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2014-07-26","related":[{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2012-1852","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2012-08-15"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2012-1853","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2012-08-15"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2009-0119","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2009-01-14"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Integer overflow in n/a","id":"CVE-2007-1946","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2007-04-11"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Hardcoded credentials in n/a","id":"CVE-2005-3595","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2005-11-16"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Code injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2004-2289","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2005-08-04"},{"cvss_score":9.3,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2013-1313","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2013-02-13"}],"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":"BSD-3-Clause","name":"Metasploit"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"GPL-2.0-or-later","name":"Exploit-DB"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-06","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Local attackers can exploit improper address validation in Windows XP drivers to write to arbitrary memory and gain elevated privileges.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2014-4971/"}
