It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: Yes. Attackers have exploited CVE-2018-0175 in the wild since at least 3 Mar 2022.\n\nAffected product: Cisco Ios. 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-2018-0175/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-0175/index.md)","id":"CVE-2018-0175","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-0175/index.md","name":"CVE-2018-0175","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-f6hc-7357-x73w"],"analysis":{"component_type":"network_device","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution","denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Cisco IOS","requires_auth":"none","summary":"An unauthenticated adjacent attacker can exploit a format string vulnerability in LLDP to execute arbitrary code or cause denial of service on Cisco IOS devices.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"other"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"cisco","cpe":[{"product":"ios","vendor":"cisco"},{"product":"ios_xe","vendor":"cisco"},{"product":"ios_xr","vendor":"cisco"}],"cvss":{"score":8,"severity":"high","source":"cisa-adp","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:A/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-134","name":"Use of Externally-Controlled Format String"},{"id":"CWE-119","name":"Improper Restriction of Operations within the Bounds of a Memory Buffer"}],"description":"Format String vulnerability in the Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) subsystem of Cisco IOS Software, Cisco IOS XE Software, and Cisco IOS XR Software could allow an unauthenticated, adjacent attacker to cause a denial of service (DoS) condition or execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges on an affected device.
