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-2017-6967 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-2017-6967/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-6967/index.md)","id":"CVE-2017-6967","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-6967/index.md","name":"CVE-2017-6967","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2017-6967","DLA-872-1","GHSA-3fgq-wvwm-xq86","UBUNTU-CVE-2017-6967"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Remote Desktop Server","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Incorrect PAM session initialization in xrdp allows attackers to bypass security limits and potentially escalate privileges.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"xrdp","vendor":"neutrinolabs"}],"cvss":{"score":7.3,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:L","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-287","name":"Improper Authentication"}],"description":"xrdp 0.9.1 calls the PAM function auth_start_session() in an incorrect location, leading to PAM session modules not being properly initialized, with a potential consequence of incorrect configurations or elevation of privileges, aka a pam_limits.so bypass.","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":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-6967","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"privilege_escalation","year":"2017"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":3,"next":{"headline":"GMV Checker ATM Security prior to 5.0.18 allows remote authenticated users to execute arbitrary code via unspecified vectors, aka PT-2017-03.","id":"CVE-2017-6968"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Use after free in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-6966"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2017-03-17","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"xrdp: lib_palette_update Heap Buffer Overflow \u0026 RCE","id":"CVE-2026-41252","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-07-20"},{"cvss_score":9.3,"headline":"xrdp: RDP MAC signature (dataSignature) never verified on receive — integrity bypass in non-TLS mode","id":"CVE-2026-32105","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-04-17"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"xrdp: Channel Data Forwarding Fixed-Size Buffer Overflow","id":"CVE-2026-44178","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-07-20"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"xrdp: Fail-open privilege drop in sesexec — child processes may execute as root if setuid fails","id":"CVE-2026-32107","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-04-17"},{"cvss_score":8.7,"headline":"xrdp: Pre-authentication out-of-bounds reads in channel parsers","id":"CVE-2026-33689","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-04-17"},{"cvss_score":8.7,"headline":"xrdp: Heap buffer overflow in EGFX channel","id":"CVE-2026-35512","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-04-17"},{"cvss_score":8.2,"headline":"xrdp: lib_framebuffer_update Has Integer Overflow Heap Info Leak \u0026 ASLR Bypass","id":"CVE-2026-41521","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-07-20"}],"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":"Incorrect PAM session initialization in xrdp allows attackers to bypass security limits and potentially escalate privileges.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-6967/"}
