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-2015-3214 exists.\n\nAffected product: Debian Debian Linux. 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-2015-3214/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2015-3214/index.md)","id":"CVE-2015-3214","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2015-3214/index.md","name":"CVE-2015-3214","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2015-3214","GHSA-7g3q-j68f-2fw5","UBUNTU-CVE-2015-3214"],"analysis":{"component_type":"operating_system","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution","privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Guest OS users can execute arbitrary code on the host by exploiting an index error in the i8254 timer emulation.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"memory_corruption"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"redhat","cpe":[{"product":"eos","vendor":"arista"},{"product":"debian_linux","vendor":"debian"},{"product":"emc_px12-400r_ivx","vendor":"lenovo"},{"product":"emc_px12-450r_ivx","vendor":"lenovo"},{"product":"linux_kernel","vendor":"linux"},{"product":"qemu","vendor":"qemu"},{"product":"enterprise_linux_compute_node_eus","vendor":"redhat"},{"product":"enterprise_linux_for_power_big_endian","vendor":"redhat"},{"product":"enterprise_linux_for_power_big_endian_eus","vendor":"redhat"},{"product":"enterprise_linux_for_scientific_computing","vendor":"redhat"},{"product":"enterprise_linux_server","vendor":"redhat"},{"product":"enterprise_linux_server_aus","vendor":"redhat"},{"product":"enterprise_linux_server_eus","vendor":"redhat"},{"product":"enterprise_linux_server_from_rhui","vendor":"redhat"},{"product":"enterprise_linux_server_tus","vendor":"redhat"},{"product":"enterprise_linux_server_update_services_for_sap_solutions","vendor":"redhat"},{"product":"enterprise_linux_workstation","vendor":"redhat"},{"product":"openstack","vendor":"redhat"},{"product":"virtualization","vendor":"redhat"}],"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-119","name":"Improper Restriction of Operations within the Bounds of a Memory Buffer"}],"description":"The pit_ioport_read in i8254.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.33 and QEMU before 2.3.1 does not distinguish between read lengths and write lengths, which might allow guest OS users to execute arbitrary code on the host OS by triggering use of an invalid index.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":1,"first_seen":"2015-08-27","github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2015-08-27","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"37990","stars":null,"title":"QEMU -
