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-2015-2234 in the wild and no public exploit code.\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-2015-2234/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2015-2234/index.md)","id":"CVE-2015-2234","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2015-2234/index.md","name":"CVE-2015-2234","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-8frw-6498-cgq3"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Lenovo System Update","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Local attackers can exploit a race condition in Lenovo System Update to gain elevated privileges by modifying update files after signature validation.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"race_condition"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"system_update","vendor":"lenovo"}],"cvss":{"score":6.9,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:L/AC:M/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-362","name":"Concurrent Execution using Shared Resource with Improper Synchronization"}],"description":"Race condition in Lenovo System Update (formerly ThinkVantage System Update) before 5.06.0034 uses world-writable permissions for the update files directory, which allows local users to gain privileges by writing to an update file after the signature is validated.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Race condition in n/a","id":"CVE-2015-2234","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"race_condition","year":"2015"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":4,"next":{"headline":"DO NOT USE THIS CANDIDATE NUMBER.","id":"CVE-2015-2236"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Security feature bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2015-2233"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2015-05-12","related":[{"cvss_score":8.3,"headline":"Security feature bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2015-2233","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2015-05-12"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Other in Lenovo System Update","id":"CVE-2023-4632","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-11-08"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2015-7333","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-03-27"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2015-7334","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-03-27"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in Lenovo System Update","id":"CVE-2018-9063","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2018-05-04"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2015-6971","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-10-02"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Security feature bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2015-7336","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-03-27"}],"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":"Local attackers can exploit a race condition in Lenovo System Update to gain elevated privileges by modifying update files after signature validation.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2015-2234/"}
