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-2017-8929 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-2017-8929/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-8929/index.md)","id":"CVE-2017-8929","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-8929/index.md","name":"CVE-2017-8929","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2017-8929","GHSA-xxqj-m8p7-rjq7","UBUNTU-CVE-2017-8929"],"analysis":{"component_type":"library","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"YARA malware analysis library","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can cause a denial of service via a crafted rule in the YARA library, impacting systems using this malware analysis tool.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"use_after_free"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"yara","vendor":"virustotal"}],"cvss":{"score":7.5,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-416","name":"Use After Free"}],"description":"The sized_string_cmp function in libyara/sizedstr.c in YARA 3.5.0 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (use-after-free and application crash) via a crafted rule.","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":"Use after free in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-8929","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"use_after_free","year":"2017"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"Cross-site request forgery in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-8930"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Cross-site request forgery in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-8928"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2017-05-14","related":[{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2023-40857","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-08-28"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2018-12034","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2018-06-15"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2018-12035","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2018-06-15"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-9438","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-06-05"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-9304","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-05-31"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-8294","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-04-27"}],"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":"2024-09-16","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Remote attackers can cause a denial of service via a crafted rule in the YARA library, impacting systems using this malware analysis tool.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-8929/"}
