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-2015-8949 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Debian Debian Linux. 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-2015-8949/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2015-8949/index.md)","id":"CVE-2015-8949","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2015-8949/index.md","name":"CVE-2015-8949","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2015-8949","GHSA-48mj-69cx-pcqg","UBUNTU-CVE-2015-8949"],"analysis":{"component_type":"library","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution","denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Perl MySQL driver","requires_auth":"none","summary":"A use-after-free flaw in the DBD::mysql Perl module allows attackers to potentially execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"use_after_free"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"dbd-mysql","vendor":"dbd-mysql_project"},{"product":"debian_linux","vendor":"debian"}],"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":[{"id":"CWE-416","name":"Use After Free"}],"description":"Use-after-free vulnerability in the my_login function in DBD::mysql before 4.033_01 allows attackers to have unspecified impact by leveraging a call to mysql_errno after a failure of my_login.","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":"Use after free in n/a","id":"CVE-2015-8949","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"debian:debian_linux","products":["debian:debian_linux"],"type":"use_after_free","year":"2015"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":9,"next":{"headline":"Information disclosure in n/a","id":"CVE-2015-8950"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Information disclosure in n/a","id":"CVE-2015-8948"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2016-08-19","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Use after free in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-10788","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-07-01"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Use after free in n/a","id":"CVE-2014-9906","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2016-08-19"},{"cvss_score":8.1,"headline":"Use after free in DBD::mysql before 4.041","id":"CVE-2016-1251","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2016-11-29"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-1246","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2016-10-05"},{"cvss_score":5.9,"headline":"Security feature bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-10789","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-07-01"},{"cvss_score":5.9,"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-1249","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-02-16"}],"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 use-after-free flaw in the DBD::mysql Perl module allows attackers to potentially execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2015-8949/"}
