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-2017-9277 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Novell Edirectory. 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-2017-9277/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-9277/index.md)","id":"CVE-2017-9277","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-9277/index.md","name":"CVE-2017-9277","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-c6x5-fqjq-v57c"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["security_bypass"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":true,"product_category":"Novell eDirectory LDAP","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Novell eDirectory LDAP server fails to enforce Enhanced Background Authentication on existing connections, allowing bypass of security controls.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"security_feature_bypass"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"microfocus","cpe":[{"product":"edirectory","vendor":"novell"}],"cvss":{"score":4.2,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:A/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:N","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[],"description":"The LDAP backend in Novell eDirectory before 9.0 SP4 when switched to EBA (Enhanced Background Authentication) kept open connections without EBA.","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":"existing connection is being used even though eDirectory LDAP server is upgraded to EBA","id":"CVE-2017-9277","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"novell:edirectory","products":["novell:edirectory"],"type":"security_feature_bypass","year":"2017"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":3,"next":{"headline":"Avoid password disclosure via EBS event logging in the iManager Oracle driver","id":"CVE-2017-9278"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"XSS Vulnerability in iManager","id":"CVE-2017-9276"},"products":["eDirectory"],"published":"2018-03-02","related":[{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Integer overflow in n/a","id":"CVE-2009-0895","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2009-12-03"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-5091","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2008-11-14"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-5092","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2008-11-14"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-5094","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2008-11-14"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Integer overflow in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-4478","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2008-10-14"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-4479","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2008-10-14"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-4480","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2008-10-14"}],"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":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-09-17","vendors":["Novell"]},"summary":"Novell eDirectory LDAP server fails to enforce Enhanced Background Authentication on existing connections, allowing bypass of security controls.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-9277/"}
