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-2017-6178 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: n/a. 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-2017-6178/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-6178/index.md)","id":"CVE-2017-6178","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-6178/index.md","name":"CVE-2017-6178","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-9573-wpfg-j5fh"],"analysis":{"component_type":"operating_system","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"USBPcap driver","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Local attackers can escalate privileges via a crafted IOCTL call triggering a NULL pointer dereference in the USBPcap driver.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"null_dereference"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"usbpcap","vendor":"usbpcap_project"}],"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-476","name":"NULL Pointer Dereference"}],"description":"The IofCallDriver function in USBPcap 1.1.0.0 allows local users to gain privileges via a crafted 0x00090028 IOCTL call, which triggers a NULL pointer dereference.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":1,"first_seen":"2017-03-07","github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2017-03-07","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"41542","stars":null,"title":"USBPcap 1.1.0.0 (WireShark 2.2.5) - Local Privilege Escalation"}],"tier":"poc_unverified"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Null dereference in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-6178","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"null_dereference","year":"2017"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":3,"next":{"headline":"Cross-site request forgery in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-6180"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"DO NOT USE THIS CANDIDATE NUMBER.","id":"CVE-2017-6177"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2017-03-20","related":[],"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)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"GPL-2.0-or-later","name":"Exploit-DB"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-05","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Local attackers can escalate privileges via a crafted IOCTL call triggering a NULL pointer dereference in the USBPcap driver.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-6178/"}
