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-2015-3218 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-2015-3218/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2015-3218/index.md)","id":"CVE-2015-3218","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2015-3218/index.md","name":"CVE-2015-3218","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2015-3218","GHSA-q9cc-g5q2-4hhx","UBUNTU-CVE-2015-3218"],"analysis":{"component_type":"operating_system","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux PolicyKit","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Local attackers can crash the polkitd daemon via a NULL pointer dereference in the authentication agent registration process.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"null_dereference"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"redhat","cpe":[{"product":"polkit","vendor":"polkit_project"}],"cvss":{"score":2.1,"severity":"low","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:L/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:P","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[],"description":"The authentication_agent_new function in polkitbackend/polkitbackendinteractiveauthority.c in PolicyKit (aka polkit) before 0.113 allows local users to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and polkitd daemon crash) by calling RegisterAuthenticationAgent with an invalid object path.","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":"Null dereference in n/a","id":"CVE-2015-3218","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"null_dereference","year":"2015"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":10,"next":{"headline":"OpenStack Dashboard (Horizon) Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability","id":"CVE-2015-3219"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2015-3217"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2015-10-26","related":[{"cvss_score":4.6,"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2015-3255","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2015-10-26"}],"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":"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 crash the polkitd daemon via a NULL pointer dereference in the authentication agent registration process.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2015-3218/"}
