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-2017-5953 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Vim Vim. 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-2017-5953/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-5953/index.md)","id":"CVE-2017-5953","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-5953/index.md","name":"CVE-2017-5953","record":{"aliases":["ALPINE-CVE-2017-5953","DEBIAN-CVE-2017-5953","DLA-822-1","DSA-3786-1","GHSA-j83f-g7mr-qg5h","SUSE-SU-2017:1775-1","UBUNTU-CVE-2017-5953"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution","denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Vim text editor","requires_auth":"none","summary":"An integer overflow in Vim's spell file handling can lead to a buffer overflow, potentially allowing code execution or denial of service.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"integer_overflow"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"vim","vendor":"vim"}],"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-190","name":"Integer Overflow or Wraparound"}],"description":"vim before patch 8.0.0322 does not properly validate values for tree length when handling a spell file, which may result in an integer overflow at a memory allocation site and a resultant buffer overflow.","ecosystems":["SUSE:Linux Enterprise Server 11 SP4","SUSE:Linux Enterprise Server for SAP Applications 11 SP4"],"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-2017-5953","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"vim:vim","products":["vim:vim"],"type":"integer_overflow","year":"2017"},"n_packages":2,"n_references":7,"next":{"headline":"Code Execution Through IIFE in serialize-to-js","id":"CVE-2017-5954"},"packages":[{"ecosystem":"SUSE:Linux Enterprise Server 11 SP4","fixed":["7.2-8.20.8"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"vim","purl":"pkg:rpm/suse/vim\u0026distro=SUSE%20Linux%20Enterprise%20Server%2011%20SP4","source":"SUSE-SU-2017:1775-1"},{"ecosystem":"SUSE:Linux Enterprise Server for SAP Applications 11 SP4","fixed":["7.2-8.20.8"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"vim","purl":"pkg:rpm/suse/vim\u0026distro=SUSE%20Linux%20Enterprise%20Server%20for%20SAP%20Applications%2011%20SP4","source":"SUSE-SU-2017:1775-1"}],"prev":{"headline":"Null dereference in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-5951"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2017-02-10","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2020-20703","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-06-20"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Integer overflow in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-6349","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-02-27"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Integer overflow in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-6350","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-02-27"},{"cvss_score":9.3,"headline":"Command injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-3075","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2009-02-21"},{"cvss_score":9.3,"headline":"Command injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-3076","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2009-02-21"},{"cvss_score":9.3,"headline":"Command injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-6235","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2009-02-21"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CC BY 4.0","name":"SUSE","prefix":"SUSE"},{"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":"An integer overflow in Vim's spell file handling can lead to a buffer overflow, potentially allowing code execution or denial of service.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-5953/"}
