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-2015-4041 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-2015-4041/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2015-4041/index.md)","id":"CVE-2015-4041","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2015-4041/index.md","name":"CVE-2015-4041","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-2pj6-g889-m5jr"],"analysis":{"component_type":"operating_system","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["denial_of_service","code_execution"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"GNU Coreutils","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A heap-based buffer overflow in GNU Coreutils sort allows attackers to cause denial of service or potentially execute code via long UTF-8 strings.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"memory_corruption"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"coreutils","vendor":"gnu"}],"cvss":{"score":7.8,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-787","name":"Out-of-bounds Write"}],"description":"The keycompare_mb function in sort.c in sort in GNU Coreutils through 8.23 on 64-bit platforms performs a size calculation without considering the number of bytes occupied by multibyte characters, which allows attackers to cause a denial of service (heap-based buffer overflow and application crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via long UTF-8 strings.","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":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2015-4041","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"memory_corruption","year":"2015"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":3,"next":{"headline":"Integer overflow in n/a","id":"CVE-2015-4042"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Path traversal in n/a","id":"CVE-2015-4040"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2020-01-24","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Integer overflow in n/a","id":"CVE-2015-4042","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-01-24"},{"cvss_score":7.1,"headline":"Race condition in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-18018","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2018-01-04"},{"cvss_score":5.5,"headline":"Coreutils: heap overflow in split --line-bytes with very long lines","id":"CVE-2024-0684","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-02-06"},{"cvss_score":5.1,"headline":"Race condition in n/a","id":"CVE-2015-1865","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-09-20"},{"cvss_score":4.6,"headline":"Out‑of‑bounds Read in GNU coreutils","id":"CVE-2026-56391","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-07-24"},{"cvss_score":4.6,"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-2781","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-02-07"}],"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":"A heap-based buffer overflow in GNU Coreutils sort allows attackers to cause denial of service or potentially execute code via long UTF-8 strings.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2015-4041/"}
