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-2014-8241 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Redhat Enterprise Linux Desktop. 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-2014-8241/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2014-8241/index.md)","id":"CVE-2014-8241","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2014-8241/index.md","name":"CVE-2014-8241","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2014-8241","GHSA-gq2g-qwmw-m5q3"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"TigerVNC client","requires_auth":"none","summary":"A remote VNC server can crash the TigerVNC client by triggering a null pointer dereference due to unchecked memory allocation failures.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"null_dereference"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"enterprise_linux_desktop","vendor":"redhat"},{"product":"enterprise_linux_hpc_node","vendor":"redhat"},{"product":"enterprise_linux_server","vendor":"redhat"},{"product":"enterprise_linux_workstation","vendor":"redhat"},{"product":"tigervnc","vendor":"tigervnc"}],"cvss":{"score":9.8,"severity":"critical","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-476","name":"NULL Pointer Dereference"}],"description":"XRegion in TigerVNC allows remote VNC servers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference) by leveraging failure to check a malloc return value, a similar issue to CVE-2014-6052.","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":"Null dereference in n/a","id":"CVE-2014-8241","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"redhat:enterprise_linux_desktop","products":["redhat:enterprise_linux_desktop","redhat:enterprise_linux_hpc_node","redhat:enterprise_linux_server","redhat:enterprise_linux_workstation"],"type":"null_dereference","year":"2014"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":7,"next":{"headline":"Weak cryptography in n/a","id":"CVE-2014-8242"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Integer overflow in n/a","id":"CVE-2014-8240"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2016-12-14","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Information disclosure in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-5405","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-06-08"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Deserialization in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-7050","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-06-08"},{"cvss_score":9.4,"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2014-8567","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2014-11-14"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Path traversal in yum-utils:","id":"CVE-2018-10897","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2018-08-01"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in UnZip","id":"CVE-2014-8139","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-01-31"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in UnZip","id":"CVE-2014-8140","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-01-31"}],"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 remote VNC server can crash the TigerVNC client by triggering a null pointer dereference due to unchecked memory allocation failures.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2014-8241/"}
