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-2015-8981 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Podofo Project Podofo. 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-2015-8981/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2015-8981/index.md)","id":"CVE-2015-8981","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2015-8981/index.md","name":"CVE-2015-8981","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2015-8981","GHSA-w4xc-2f8w-q8h5","UBUNTU-CVE-2015-8981"],"analysis":{"component_type":"library","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution","denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"PoDoFo PDF library","requires_auth":"none","summary":"A heap-based buffer overflow in the PoDoFo PDF parsing library allows attackers to cause denial of service or potentially execute arbitrary code.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"memory_corruption"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"podofo","vendor":"podofo_project"}],"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-119","name":"Improper Restriction of Operations within the Bounds of a Memory Buffer"}],"description":"Heap-based buffer overflow in the PdfParser::ReadXRefSubsection function in base/PdfParser.cpp in PoDoFo allows attackers to have unspecified impact via vectors related to m_offsets.size.","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":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2015-8981","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"podofo_project:podofo","products":["podofo_project:podofo"],"type":"memory_corruption","year":"2015"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":4,"next":{"headline":"Integer overflow in n/a","id":"CVE-2015-8982"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Code injection in php-gettext","id":"CVE-2015-8980"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2017-03-16","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-8378","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-05-01"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2023-31556","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-05-10"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Use after free in n/a","id":"CVE-2023-31566","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-05-10"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2023-31567","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-05-10"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2023-31568","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-05-10"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Null dereference in n/a","id":"CVE-2018-20751","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-02-04"}],"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 heap-based buffer overflow in the PoDoFo PDF parsing library allows attackers to cause denial of service or potentially execute arbitrary code.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2015-8981/"}
