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-2014-8991 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- pip (PyPI): affected from 1.3; fixed in 6.0\n- pip (PyPI): affected from 1.3; fixed in 6.0\n- pip (PyPI): affected from 1.3; fixed in 6.0\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-2014-8991/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2014-8991/index.md)","id":"CVE-2014-8991","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2014-8991/index.md","name":"CVE-2014-8991","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2014-8991","GHSA-53mr-44pp-crf4","MGASA-2015-0023","PYSEC-2014-11","UBUNTU-CVE-2014-8991"],"analysis":{"component_type":"developer_tool","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Python package installer","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Local attackers can prevent package installation by creating specific temporary files, affecting Python developers using pip.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"denial_of_service"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"solaris","vendor":"oracle"},{"product":"pip","vendor":"pypa"}],"cvss":{"score":2.1,"severity":"low","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:L/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:P","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[],"description":"pip 1.3 through 1.5.6 allows local users to cause a denial of service (prevention of package installation) by creating a /tmp/pip-build-* file for another user.","ecosystems":["PyPI"],"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":"pip lack of randomness in build directory","id":"CVE-2014-8991","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":"PyPI","product":"oracle:solaris","products":["oracle:solaris"],"type":"denial_of_service","year":"2014"},"n_packages":3,"n_references":6,"next":{"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2014-8992"},"packages":[{"ecosystem":"PyPI","fixed":["6.0"],"introduced":["1.3"],"last_affected":[],"package":"pip","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-53mr-44pp-crf4"},{"ecosystem":"PyPI","fixed":["6.0"],"introduced":["1.3"],"last_affected":[],"package":"pip","purl":"pkg:pypi/pip","source":"GHSA-53mr-44pp-crf4"},{"ecosystem":"PyPI","fixed":["6.0"],"introduced":["1.3"],"last_affected":[],"package":"pip","purl":"pkg:pypi/pip","source":"PYSEC-2014-11"}],"prev":{"headline":"Command injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2014-8990"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2014-11-24","related":[{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Oracle Solaris and Zettabyte File System (ZFS) Unspecified","id":"CVE-2020-14871","kev_date_added":"2021-11-03","published":"2020-10-21"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Oracle Solaris Privilege Escalation","id":"CVE-2019-3010","kev_date_added":"2022-05-25","published":"2019-10-16"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Missing authorization in Oracle Solaris","id":"CVE-2026-46978","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-06-16"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Other in Solaris Operating System","id":"CVE-2017-3623","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-04-24"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2014-0397","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2014-10-06"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Other in n/a","id":"CVE-2010-3509","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2010-10-13"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Auth bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2007-0882","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2007-02-12"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CC BY 4.0","name":"GitHub Advisory Database","prefix":"GHSA"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CC BY 4.0","name":"PyPA Advisory Database","prefix":"PYSEC"},{"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 attackers can prevent package installation by creating specific temporary files, affecting Python developers using pip.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2014-8991/"}
