An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2017-6553 exists.\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-2017-6553/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-6553/index.md)","id":"CVE-2017-6553","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-6553/index.md","name":"CVE-2017-6553","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-868w-pfx7-q4rp"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution","privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Privilege Manager for Unix","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can achieve full access to the policy server via memory corruption in the pmmasterd daemon, requiring an upgrade to mitigate.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"memory_corruption"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"privilege_manager_for_unix","vendor":"quest"}],"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-119","name":"Improper Restriction of Operations within the Bounds of a Memory Buffer"}],"description":"Buffer Overflow in Quest One Identity Privilege Manager for Unix before 6.0.0.061 allows remote attackers to obtain full access to the policy server via an ACT_ALERT_EVENT request that causes memory corruption in the pmmasterd daemon.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":1,"first_seen":"2017-04-09","github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":1,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2017-04-09","kind":"metasploit","ref":"exploit/linux/misc/quest_pmmasterd_bof","stars":null,"title":"Quest Privilege Manager pmmasterd Buffer Overflow"},{"date":"2017-05-15","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"42010","stars":null,"title":"Quest Privilege Manager - pmmasterd Buffer Overflow (Metasploit)"}],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-6553","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"memory_corruption","year":"2017"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":3,"next":{"headline":"Path traversal in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-6554"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-6552"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2017-04-29","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":"BSD-3-Clause","name":"Metasploit"},{"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":"Remote attackers can achieve full access to the policy server via memory corruption in the pmmasterd daemon, requiring an upgrade to mitigate.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-6553/"}
