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-2015-8983 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Gnu Glibc. 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-2015-8983/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2015-8983/index.md)","id":"CVE-2015-8983","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2015-8983/index.md","name":"CVE-2015-8983","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2015-8983","GHSA-77qx-ffg2-4jrv","UBUNTU-CVE-2015-8983"],"analysis":{"component_type":"library","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["denial_of_service","code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"GNU C Library","requires_auth":"none","summary":"An integer overflow in glibc's wide string handling can lead to heap-based buffer overflows, causing application crashes or arbitrary code execution.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"integer_overflow"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"glibc","vendor":"gnu"}],"cvss":{"score":8.1,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-190","name":"Integer Overflow or Wraparound"}],"description":"Integer overflow in the _IO_wstr_overflow function in libio/wstrops.c in the GNU C Library (aka glibc or libc6) before 2.22 allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via vectors related to computing a size in bytes, which triggers a heap-based buffer overflow.","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":"Integer overflow in n/a","id":"CVE-2015-8983","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"gnu:glibc","products":["gnu:glibc"],"type":"integer_overflow","year":"2015"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":5,"next":{"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2015-8984"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Integer overflow in n/a","id":"CVE-2015-8982"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2017-03-20","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"scanf %mc off-by-one heap buffer overflow","id":"CVE-2026-5450","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-04-20"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2023-25139","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-02-03"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Other in n/a","id":"CVE-1999-0199","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-10-06"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Security feature bypass in glibc","id":"CVE-2019-1010022","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-07-15"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2005-3590","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-04-10"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-18269","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2018-05-18"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Integer overflow in n/a","id":"CVE-2018-11236","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2018-05-18"}],"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":"An integer overflow in glibc's wide string handling can lead to heap-based buffer overflows, causing application crashes or arbitrary code execution.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2015-8983/"}
