An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2014-9488 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Opensuse Opensuse. 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-2014-9488/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2014-9488/index.md)","id":"CVE-2014-9488","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2014-9488/index.md","name":"CVE-2014-9488","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2014-9488","GHSA-pvw4-m8q5-4fhj","MGASA-2015-0139","SUSE-SU-2020:2687-1","openSUSE-SU-2024:10183-1"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["denial_of_service","data_read"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"GNU less utility","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can trigger an out-of-bounds read in GNU less via malformed UTF-8 characters, potentially causing crashes or information disclosure.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"memory_corruption"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"less","vendor":"gnu"},{"product":"opensuse","vendor":"opensuse"}],"cvss":{"score":10,"severity":"critical","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-119","name":"Improper Restriction of Operations within the Bounds of a Memory Buffer"}],"description":"The is_utf8_well_formed function in GNU less before 475 allows remote attackers to have unspecified impact via malformed UTF-8 characters, which triggers an out-of-bounds read.","ecosystems":["SUSE:Linux Enterprise Server 12 SP5","SUSE:Linux Enterprise Server for SAP Applications 12 SP5","openSUSE:Tumbleweed"],"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":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2014-9488","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"opensuse:opensuse","products":["opensuse:opensuse"],"type":"memory_corruption","year":"2014"},"n_packages":3,"n_references":5,"next":{"headline":"gollum and gollum-lib allow remote authenticated users to execute arbitrary code","id":"CVE-2014-9489"},"packages":[{"ecosystem":"SUSE:Linux Enterprise Server 12 SP5","fixed":["458-7.3.3"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"less","purl":"pkg:rpm/suse/less\u0026distro=SUSE%20Linux%20Enterprise%20Server%2012%20SP5","source":"SUSE-SU-2020:2687-1"},{"ecosystem":"SUSE:Linux Enterprise Server for SAP Applications 12 SP5","fixed":["458-7.3.3"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"less","purl":"pkg:rpm/suse/less\u0026distro=SUSE%20Linux%20Enterprise%20Server%20for%20SAP%20Applications%2012%20SP5","source":"SUSE-SU-2020:2687-1"},{"ecosystem":"openSUSE:Tumbleweed","fixed":["481-1.5"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"less","purl":"pkg:rpm/opensuse/less\u0026distro=openSUSE%20Tumbleweed","source":"openSUSE-SU-2024:10183-1"}],"prev":{"headline":"XML external entity in n/a","id":"CVE-2014-9487"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2015-04-14","related":[{"cvss_score":6.4,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2004-2264","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2005-07-19"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CC BY 4.0","name":"SUSE","prefix":"SUSE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CC BY 4.0","name":"SUSE","prefix":"openSUSE"},{"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":"Remote attackers can trigger an out-of-bounds read in GNU less via malformed UTF-8 characters, potentially causing crashes or information disclosure.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2014-9488/"}
