It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2015-1336 exists.\n\nAffected product: n/a. 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-2015-1336/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2015-1336/index.md)","id":"CVE-2015-1336","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2015-1336/index.md","name":"CVE-2015-1336","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2015-1336","GHSA-v8g2-q7cg-qvg6","UBUNTU-CVE-2015-1336","USN-5334-1"],"analysis":{"component_type":"operating_system","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux man-db utility","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Local attackers with man account access can escalate privileges due to insecure chown usage in the daily cleanup job.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"canonical","cpe":[{"product":"man-db","vendor":"man-db_project"}],"cvss":{"score":7.8,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-284","name":"Improper Access Control"}],"description":"The daily mandb cleanup job in Man-db before 2.7.6.1-1 as packaged in Ubuntu and Debian allows local users with access to the man account to gain privileges via vectors involving insecure chown use.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":1,"first_seen":"2015-12-02","github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2015-12-02","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"41158","stars":null,"title":"Man-db 2.6.7.1 - Local Privilege Escalation"}],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2015-1336","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"privilege_escalation","year":"2015"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":8,"next":{"headline":"Security feature bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2015-1337"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Path traversal in n/a","id":"CVE-2015-1335"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2017-09-27","related":[{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2018-25078","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-01-25"}],"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)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"GPL-2.0-or-later","name":"Exploit-DB"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-06","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Local attackers with man account access can escalate privileges due to insecure chown usage in the daily cleanup job.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2015-1336/"}
