An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2015-4042 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-2015-4042/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2015-4042/index.md)","id":"CVE-2015-4042","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2015-4042/index.md","name":"CVE-2015-4042","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-9qcx-32pg-7pqp"],"analysis":{"component_type":"operating_system","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"GNU Coreutils","requires_auth":"none","summary":"An integer overflow in GNU Coreutils sort command allows attackers to cause a denial of service via long strings.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"integer_overflow"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"coreutils","vendor":"gnu"}],"cvss":{"score":9.8,"severity":"critical","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-190","name":"Integer Overflow or Wraparound"}],"description":"Integer overflow in the keycompare_mb function in sort.c in sort in GNU Coreutils through 8.23 might allow attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via long 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":"Integer overflow in n/a","id":"CVE-2015-4042","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"integer_overflow","year":"2015"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"SQL injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2015-4043"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2015-4041"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2020-01-24","related":[{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2015-4041","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":"An integer overflow in GNU Coreutils sort command allows attackers to cause a denial of service via long strings.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2015-4042/"}
