An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim."},"fix_prompt":"Check this codebase for CVE-2017-7555 and fix it if it is affected.\n\nWhat it is: CVE-2017-7555 is a critical memory corruption vulnerability in Red Hat, Inc. augeas, published on 17 Aug 2017. 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-2017-7555 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Red Hat, Inc. augeas. 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-2017-7555/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-7555/index.md)","id":"CVE-2017-7555","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-7555/index.md","name":"CVE-2017-7555","record":{"aliases":["ALPINE-CVE-2017-7555","DEBIAN-CVE-2017-7555","DLA-1067-1","DSA-3949-1","GHSA-r8cq-v6vf-645g","MGASA-2017-0306","RHSA-2017:2788","RHSA-2019:2403","SUSE-SU-2018:0650-1","SUSE-SU-2018:0652-1","UBUNTU-CVE-2017-7555","USN-3400-1"],"analysis":{"component_type":"library","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution","denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Augeas configuration library","requires_auth":"none","summary":"A heap-based buffer overflow in the Augeas library allows attackers to cause crashes or execute arbitrary code via crafted strings.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"memory_corruption"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"redhat","cpe":[{"product":"augeas","vendor":"augeas"}],"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"},{"id":"CWE-122","name":"Heap-based Buffer Overflow"}],"description":"Augeas versions up to and including 1.8.0 are vulnerable to heap-based buffer overflow due to improper handling of escaped strings.
