It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2014-6540 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Oracle Vm Virtualbox. 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-2014-6540/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2014-6540/index.md)","id":"CVE-2014-6540","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2014-6540/index.md","name":"CVE-2014-6540","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2014-6540","GHSA-8w9x-37pw-9xcr","UBUNTU-CVE-2014-6540"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"VirtualBox hypervisor","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Local users can cause a denial of service in Oracle VM VirtualBox via the Windows guest graphics driver.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"denial_of_service"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"oracle","cpe":[{"product":"vm_virtualbox","vendor":"oracle"}],"cvss":{"score":1.9,"severity":"low","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:L/AC:M/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:P","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[],"description":"Unspecified vulnerability in the Oracle VM VirtualBox component in Oracle Virtualization VirtualBox before 4.1.34, before 4.2.26, and before 4.3.14 allows local users to affect availability via vectors related to Graphics driver (WDDM) for Windows guests.","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-2014-6540","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"oracle:vm_virtualbox","products":["oracle:vm_virtualbox"],"type":"denial_of_service","year":"2014"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":4,"next":{"headline":"Information disclosure in n/a","id":"CVE-2014-6541"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Other in n/a","id":"CVE-2014-6539"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2014-10-15","related":[{"cvss_score":9.1,"headline":"Unspecified vulnerability in the Oracle VM VirtualBox component before 5.1.4 in Oracle Virtualization allows remote attackers to affect conf","id":"CVE-2016-5605","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2016-10-25"},{"cvss_score":9,"headline":"Privilege escalation in VM VirtualBox","id":"CVE-2018-3294","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2018-10-17"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Privilege escalation in VM VirtualBox","id":"CVE-2024-21112","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-04-16"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Privilege escalation in VM VirtualBox","id":"CVE-2024-21113","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-04-16"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Privilege escalation in VM VirtualBox","id":"CVE-2024-21114","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-04-16"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Privilege escalation in VM VirtualBox","id":"CVE-2024-21115","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-04-16"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Privilege escalation in VM VirtualBox","id":"CVE-2022-39427","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-10-18"}],"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":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-06","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Local users can cause a denial of service in Oracle VM VirtualBox via the Windows guest graphics driver.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2014-6540/"}
