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-2015-3245 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-2015-3245/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2015-3245/index.md)","id":"CVE-2015-3245","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2015-3245/index.md","name":"CVE-2015-3245","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2015-3245","GHSA-q4h8-6f3r-mvww","UBUNTU-CVE-2015-3245"],"analysis":{"component_type":"operating_system","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["denial_of_service","data_modify"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux usermode package","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Local attackers can corrupt /etc/passwd causing denial of service by injecting newlines into the GECOS field via chfn.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"denial_of_service"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"redhat","cpe":[{"product":"libuser","vendor":"redhat"}],"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":[{"id":"CWE-20","name":"Improper Input Validation"}],"description":"Incomplete blacklist vulnerability in the chfn function in libuser before 0.56.13-8 and 0.60 before 0.60-7, as used in the userhelper program in the usermode package, allows local users to cause a denial of service (/etc/passwd corruption) via a newline character in the GECOS field.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":3,"first_seen":"2015-07-24","github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":1,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2015-07-24","kind":"metasploit","ref":"exploit/linux/local/libuser_roothelper_priv_esc","stars":null,"title":"Libuser roothelper Privilege Escalation"},{"date":"2015-07-27","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"37706","stars":null,"title":"Libuser Library - Multiple Vulnerabilities"},{"date":"2018-05-16","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"44633","stars":null,"title":"Libuser - 'roothelper' Local Privilege Escalation (Metasploit)"},{"date":"2018-05-16","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"44633","stars":null,"title":"Libuser - 'roothelper' Local Privilege Escalation (Metasploit)"}],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2015-3245","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"denial_of_service","year":"2015"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":9,"next":{"headline":"Red Hat Libuser Race Condition","id":"CVE-2015-3246"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Missing authorization in n/a","id":"CVE-2015-3244"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2015-08-11","related":[],"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":"BSD-3-Clause","name":"Metasploit"},{"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 can corrupt /etc/passwd causing denial of service by injecting newlines into the GECOS field via chfn.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2015-3245/"}
