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-2015-1196 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-2015-1196/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2015-1196/index.md)","id":"CVE-2015-1196","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2015-1196/index.md","name":"CVE-2015-1196","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2015-1196","GHSA-pgg8-q7hj-8mg8","UBUNTU-CVE-2015-1196"],"analysis":{"component_type":"developer_tool","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_modify"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"GNU patch utility","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can write to arbitrary files via symlink attacks in patch files, requiring user interaction to apply the malicious patch.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"path_traversal"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"redhat","cpe":[{"product":"patch","vendor":"gnu"},{"product":"opensuse","vendor":"opensuse"},{"product":"solaris","vendor":"oracle"}],"cvss":{"score":4.3,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:N/I:P/A:N","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-59","name":"Improper Link Resolution Before File Access"}],"description":"GNU patch 2.7.1 allows remote attackers to write to arbitrary files via a symlink attack in a patch file.","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":"Path traversal in n/a","id":"CVE-2015-1196","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"opensuse:opensuse","products":["opensuse:opensuse","oracle:solaris"],"type":"path_traversal","year":"2015"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":8,"next":{"headline":"Path traversal in n/a","id":"CVE-2015-1197"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"OpenStack Glance v2 API unrestricted path traversal through filesystem:// scheme","id":"CVE-2015-1195"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2015-01-21","related":[{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Command injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2018-20969","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-08-16"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Use after free in n/a","id":"CVE-2018-6952","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2018-02-13"},{"cvss_score":5.9,"headline":"Path traversal in n/a","id":"CVE-2019-13636","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-07-17"},{"cvss_score":5.5,"headline":"Null dereference in n/a","id":"CVE-2021-45261","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-12-22"},{"cvss_score":5.5,"headline":"Use after free in n/a","id":"CVE-2019-20633","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-03-25"},{"cvss_score":5.5,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-10713","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2018-02-13"},{"cvss_score":4.6,"headline":"NULL Pointer Dereference in GNU patch","id":"CVE-2026-56288","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-07-09"}],"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":"Remote attackers can write to arbitrary files via symlink attacks in patch files, requiring user interaction to apply the malicious patch.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2015-1196/"}
