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-2015-1805 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Google Android. 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-2015-1805/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2015-1805/index.md)","id":"CVE-2015-1805","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2015-1805/index.md","name":"CVE-2015-1805","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2015-1805","GHSA-c8vr-r7wq-hc48","RHSA-2015:1042","RHSA-2015:1120","RHSA-2015:1190","RHSA-2015:1211","UBUNTU-CVE-2015-1805"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["privilege_escalation","denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Local attackers can exploit a Linux kernel pipe implementation flaw to cause a system crash or potentially escalate privileges via a crafted application.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"memory_corruption"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"redhat","cpe":[{"product":"android","vendor":"google"},{"product":"linux_kernel","vendor":"linux"}],"cvss":{"score":7.2,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:L/AC:L/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-17","name":null}],"description":"The (1) pipe_read and (2) pipe_write implementations in fs/pipe.c in the Linux kernel before 3.16 do not properly consider the side effects of failed __copy_to_user_inatomic and __copy_from_user_inatomic calls, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly gain privileges via a crafted application, aka an \"I/O vector array overrun.\"","ecosystems":["Red Hat:enterprise_linux:5::client","Red Hat:enterprise_linux:5::server","Red Hat:rhel_aus:5.9","Red Hat:rhel_aus:6.4::server","Red Hat:rhel_mission_critical:5.6"],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":"2016-03-24","github_poc":7,"max_poc_stars":276,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2016-04-01T12:10:14Z","kind":"github_poc","ref":"https://github.com/dosomder/iovyroot","stars":276,"title":"CVE-2015-1805 root tool"},{"date":"2016-03-24T02:55:09Z","kind":"github_poc","ref":"https://github.com/panyu6325/CVE-2015-1805","stars":31,"title":null},{"date":"2023-02-12T23:00:18Z","kind":"github_poc","ref":"https://github.com/ireshchaminda1/Android-Privilege-Escalation-Remote-Access-Vulnerability-CVE-2015-1805","stars":6,"title":"AndroRAT is a capability that can be used to inject a root exploit as a silent installation to perform a malicious task on the device.
