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-2017-15945 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Mariadb Mariadb. 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-2017-15945/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-15945/index.md)","id":"CVE-2017-15945","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-15945/index.md","name":"CVE-2017-15945","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-6xg2-c83r-cgwr"],"analysis":{"component_type":"operating_system","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Gentoo database packages","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Local attackers can escalate privileges by exploiting insecure chown calls in Gentoo database installation scripts via symlink attacks.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"mariadb","vendor":"mariadb"},{"product":"mysql","vendor":"mysql"}],"cvss":{"score":7.8,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-732","name":"Incorrect Permission Assignment for Critical Resource"}],"description":"The installation scripts in the Gentoo dev-db/mysql, dev-db/mariadb, dev-db/percona-server, dev-db/mysql-cluster, and dev-db/mariadb-galera packages before 2017-09-29 have chown calls for user-writable directory trees, which allows local users to gain privileges by leveraging access to the mysql account for creation of a link.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":false,"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-15945","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"mariadb:mariadb","products":["mariadb:mariadb","mysql:mysql"],"type":"privilege_escalation","year":"2017"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"SQL injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-15946"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Palo Alto Networks PAN-OS Remote Code Execution","id":"CVE-2017-15944"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2017-10-27","related":[{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"MariaDB server has unsafe parameter handling in `wsrep_notify_cmd`","id":"CVE-2026-49261","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-06-11"},{"cvss_score":9.9,"headline":"MariaDB: Out-of-bound buffer write on in `ST_AsText` of nested GeometryCollections","id":"CVE-2026-85746","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-10-16"},{"cvss_score":9.9,"headline":"MariaDB: Use-after-free with a large number of SYS_REFCURSOR's","id":"CVE-2026-85748","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-10-16"},{"cvss_score":9.9,"headline":"MariaDB: Numerous issues caused by historical #mysql50# tablename encoding bypass.","id":"CVE-2026-92262","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-10-16"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Code injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2023-26785","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-10-17"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"MariaDB: GRANT PROXY with empty password incorrectly checks grantor's privileges","id":"CVE-2026-97380","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-10-16"},{"cvss_score":8.6,"headline":"Heap-based Buffer Overflow in MariaDB","id":"CVE-2026-32710","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-03-20"}],"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 escalate privileges by exploiting insecure chown calls in Gentoo database installation scripts via symlink attacks.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-15945/"}
