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-2015-8833 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-2015-8833/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2015-8833/index.md)","id":"CVE-2015-8833","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2015-8833/index.md","name":"CVE-2015-8833","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2015-8833","DSA-3528-1","GHSA-r9f9-6pf9-r2c4","MGASA-2016-0125","SUSE-SU-2016:0912-1"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Pidgin OTR plugin","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can execute arbitrary code via a use-after-free flaw in the Pidgin OTR plugin's authentication dialog.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"use_after_free"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"pidgin-otr","vendor":"cypherpunks"}],"cvss":{"score":9.8,"severity":"critical","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[],"description":"Use-after-free vulnerability in the create_smp_dialog function in gtk-dialog.c in the Off-the-Record Messaging (OTR) pidgin-otr plugin before 4.0.2 for Pidgin allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via vectors related to the \"Authenticate buddy\" menu item.","ecosystems":["SUSE:Linux Enterprise Desktop 12","SUSE:Linux Enterprise Desktop 12 SP1","SUSE:Linux Enterprise Workstation Extension 12","SUSE:Linux Enterprise Workstation Extension 12 SP1"],"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":"Use after free in n/a","id":"CVE-2015-8833","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"use_after_free","year":"2015"},"n_packages":4,"n_references":12,"next":{"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2015-8834"},"packages":[{"ecosystem":"SUSE:Linux Enterprise Desktop 12","fixed":["4.0.0-8.1"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"pidgin-otr","purl":"pkg:rpm/suse/pidgin-otr\u0026distro=SUSE%20Linux%20Enterprise%20Desktop%2012","source":"SUSE-SU-2016:0912-1"},{"ecosystem":"SUSE:Linux Enterprise Desktop 12 SP1","fixed":["4.0.0-8.1"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"pidgin-otr","purl":"pkg:rpm/suse/pidgin-otr\u0026distro=SUSE%20Linux%20Enterprise%20Desktop%2012%20SP1","source":"SUSE-SU-2016:0912-1"},{"ecosystem":"SUSE:Linux Enterprise Workstation Extension 12","fixed":["4.0.0-8.1"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"pidgin-otr","purl":"pkg:rpm/suse/pidgin-otr\u0026distro=SUSE%20Linux%20Enterprise%20Workstation%20Extension%2012","source":"SUSE-SU-2016:0912-1"},{"ecosystem":"SUSE:Linux Enterprise Workstation Extension 12 SP1","fixed":["4.0.0-8.1"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"pidgin-otr","purl":"pkg:rpm/suse/pidgin-otr\u0026distro=SUSE%20Linux%20Enterprise%20Workstation%20Extension%2012%20SP1","source":"SUSE-SU-2016:0912-1"}],"prev":{"headline":"File upload in n/a","id":"CVE-2015-8832"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2016-04-08","related":[{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Other in n/a","id":"CVE-2012-2369","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2012-05-23"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CC BY 4.0","name":"SUSE","prefix":"SUSE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"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 attackers can execute arbitrary code via a use-after-free flaw in the Pidgin OTR plugin's authentication dialog.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2015-8833/"}
