It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2017-14159 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Openldap Openldap. 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-2017-14159/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-14159/index.md)","id":"CVE-2017-14159","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-14159/index.md","name":"CVE-2017-14159","record":{"aliases":["ALPINE-CVE-2017-14159","CLEANSTART-2026-AF08303","DEBIAN-CVE-2017-14159","GHSA-xxfr-gfjr-h844"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["privilege_escalation","denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"OpenLDAP server","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Local attackers can kill arbitrary processes or escalate privileges by modifying the PID file before root scripts execute kill commands.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"race_condition"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"openldap","vendor":"openldap"},{"product":"blockchain_platform","vendor":"oracle"}],"cvss":{"score":4.7,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-665","name":"Improper Initialization"}],"description":"slapd in OpenLDAP 2.4.45 and earlier creates a PID file after dropping privileges to a non-root account, which might allow local users to kill arbitrary processes by leveraging access to this non-root account for PID file modification before a root script executes a \"kill `cat /pathname`\" command, as demonstrated by openldap-initscript.","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":"Race condition in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-14159","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"openldap:openldap","products":["openldap:openldap"],"type":"race_condition","year":"2017"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-14160"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Scrapy denial of service vulnerability","id":"CVE-2017-14158"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2017-09-05","related":[{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Weak cryptography in n/a","id":"CVE-2015-3276","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2015-12-07"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2002-1378","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2002-12-17"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Code injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2002-1379","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2002-12-17"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Missing authorization in n/a","id":"CVE-2002-0045","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2002-06-25"},{"cvss_score":7.2,"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2005-4442","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2005-12-21"},{"cvss_score":7.1,"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2007-5707","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2007-10-30"},{"cvss_score":7.1,"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2007-5708","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2007-10-30"}],"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":"2024-08-05","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Local attackers can kill arbitrary processes or escalate privileges by modifying the PID file before root scripts execute kill commands.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-14159/"}
