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-2015-8556 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Qemu Qemu. 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-2015-8556/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2015-8556/index.md)","id":"CVE-2015-8556","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2015-8556/index.md","name":"CVE-2015-8556","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-ggvf-46pm-9ccw"],"analysis":{"component_type":"operating_system","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Gentoo QEMU package","requires_auth":"none","summary":"A local privilege escalation vulnerability in the Gentoo QEMU package allows attackers to gain elevated privileges via a race condition.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"race_condition"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"qemu","vendor":"qemu"}],"cvss":{"score":10,"severity":"critical","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-362","name":"Concurrent Execution using Shared Resource with Improper Synchronization"}],"description":"Local privilege escalation vulnerability in the Gentoo QEMU package before 2.5.0-r1.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":1,"first_seen":"2015-12-17","github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2015-12-17","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"39010","stars":null,"title":"QEMU (Gentoo) - Local Privilege Escalation"}],"tier":"poc_unverified"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Race condition in n/a","id":"CVE-2015-8556","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"qemu:qemu","products":["qemu:qemu"],"type":"race_condition","year":"2015"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":3,"next":{"headline":"Command Injection in Pygments","id":"CVE-2015-8557"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Information disclosure in n/a","id":"CVE-2015-8555"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2017-03-24","related":[{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Null dereference in n/a","id":"CVE-2022-36648","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-08-22"},{"cvss_score":9.9,"headline":"Use after free in n/a","id":"CVE-2009-3616","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2009-10-23"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Command injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2019-12928","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-06-24"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Command injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2019-12929","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-06-24"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2018-20815","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-05-31"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-8380","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-08-28"}],"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":"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":"A local privilege escalation vulnerability in the Gentoo QEMU package allows attackers to gain elevated privileges via a race condition.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2015-8556/"}
