Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2015-5237 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- protobuf (PyPI): affected all versions; fixed in 3.4.0\n- protobuf (PyPI): affected all versions; fixed in 3.4.0\n- github.com/protocolbuffers/protobuf (Go): affected all versions; fixed in 3.4.0\n- com.google.protobuf:protobuf-parent (Maven): affected all versions; fixed in 3.4.0\n- Google.Protobuf (NuGet): affected all versions; fixed in 3.4.0\n- google/protobuf (Packagist): affected all versions; fixed in 3.4.0\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-2015-5237/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2015-5237/index.md)","id":"CVE-2015-5237","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2015-5237/index.md","name":"CVE-2015-5237","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2015-5237","ECHO-1ca1-f94c-b75c","GHSA-jwvw-v7c5-m82h","PYSEC-2017-65","UBUNTU-CVE-2015-5237"],"analysis":{"component_type":"library","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution","denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Protocol Buffers library","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Remote authenticated attackers can trigger a heap-based buffer overflow in the Protocol Buffers library, potentially leading to code execution or denial of service.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"memory_corruption"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"redhat","cpe":[{"product":"protobuf","vendor":"google"}],"cvss":{"score":8.8,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/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":"protobuf allows remote authenticated attackers to cause a heap-based buffer overflow.","ecosystems":["Go","Maven","NuGet","Packagist","PyPI"],"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-2015-5237","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":"Go","product":null,"products":[],"type":"memory_corruption","year":"2015"},"n_packages":6,"n_references":32,"next":{"headline":"Integer overflow in QEMU","id":"CVE-2015-5239"},"packages":[{"ecosystem":"Go","fixed":["3.4.0"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"github.com/protocolbuffers/protobuf","purl":"pkg:golang/github.com/protocolbuffers/protobuf","source":"GHSA-jwvw-v7c5-m82h"},{"ecosystem":"Maven","fixed":["3.4.0"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"com.google.protobuf:protobuf-parent","purl":"pkg:maven/com.google.protobuf/protobuf-parent","source":"GHSA-jwvw-v7c5-m82h"},{"ecosystem":"NuGet","fixed":["3.4.0"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"Google.Protobuf","purl":"pkg:nuget/Google.Protobuf","source":"GHSA-jwvw-v7c5-m82h"},{"ecosystem":"Packagist","fixed":["3.4.0"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"google/protobuf","purl":"pkg:composer/google/protobuf","source":"GHSA-jwvw-v7c5-m82h"},{"ecosystem":"PyPI","fixed":["3.4.0"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"protobuf","purl":"pkg:pypi/protobuf","source":"GHSA-jwvw-v7c5-m82h"},{"ecosystem":"PyPI","fixed":["3.4.0"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"protobuf","purl":"pkg:pypi/protobuf","source":"PYSEC-2017-65"}],"prev":{"headline":"Security feature bypass in Icedtea-web","id":"CVE-2015-5236"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2017-09-25","related":[{"cvss_score":8.7,"headline":"Stack overflow in Protocol Buffers Java Lite","id":"CVE-2024-7254","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-09-19"},{"cvss_score":8.2,"headline":"Denial of Service in Python Protobuf","id":"CVE-2026-0994","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-01-23"},{"cvss_score":7.6,"headline":"Use after free in C++ protobuf","id":"CVE-2024-2410","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-05-03"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CC BY 4.0","name":"GitHub Advisory Database","prefix":"GHSA"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CC BY 4.0","name":"PyPA Advisory Database","prefix":"PYSEC"},{"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":"Remote authenticated attackers can trigger a heap-based buffer overflow in the Protocol Buffers library, potentially leading to code execution or denial of service.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2015-5237/"}
