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-2017-7496 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Red Hat, Inc. fedora-arm-installer. 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-2017-7496/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-7496/index.md)","id":"CVE-2017-7496","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-7496/index.md","name":"CVE-2017-7496","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-c5w8-cwh4-jh73"],"analysis":{"component_type":"operating_system","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Fedora ARM installer","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Local attackers can escalate privileges in Fedora ARM installer due to unchecked mount failures on unsafe temporary directories.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"redhat","cpe":[{"product":"arm_installer","vendor":"fedoraproject"}],"cvss":{"score":7,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-755","name":"Improper Handling of Exceptional Conditions"},{"id":"CWE-391","name":"DEPRECATED: Unchecked Error Condition"}],"description":"fedora-arm-installer up to and including 1.99.16 is vulnerable to local privilege escalation due to lack of checking the error condition of mount operation failure on unsafely created temporary directories.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Privilege escalation in fedora-arm-installer","id":"CVE-2017-7496","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"privilege_escalation","year":"2017"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Missing authorization in CFME","id":"CVE-2017-7497"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Information disclosure in Linux kernel before 4.6.2","id":"CVE-2017-7495"},"products":["fedora-arm-installer"],"published":"2017-06-26","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)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-05","vendors":["Red Hat, Inc."]},"summary":"Local attackers can escalate privileges in Fedora ARM installer due to unchecked mount failures on unsafe temporary directories.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-7496/"}
