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-2018-12178 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Extensible Firmware Interface Development Kit (EDK II). 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-2018-12178/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-12178/index.md)","id":"CVE-2018-12178","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-12178/index.md","name":"CVE-2018-12178","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2018-12178","GHSA-85f7-wwh2-8hrc","UBUNTU-CVE-2018-12178"],"analysis":{"component_type":"hardware_firmware","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["privilege_escalation","denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"EDK II firmware","requires_auth":"none","summary":"A buffer overflow in the EDK II network stack allows unprivileged users to escalate privileges or cause denial of service via network access.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"memory_corruption"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"intel","cpe":[{"product":"edk_ii","vendor":"tianocore"}],"cvss":{"score":9.1,"severity":"critical","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:H","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-119","name":"Improper Restriction of Operations within the Bounds of a Memory Buffer"}],"description":"Buffer overflow in network stack for EDK II may allow unprivileged user to potentially enable escalation of privilege and/or denial of service via network.","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":"Memory corruption in Extensible Firmware Interface Development Kit (EDK II)","id":"CVE-2018-12178","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"memory_corruption","year":"2018"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":5,"next":{"headline":"Privilege escalation in Extensible Firmware Interface Development Kit (EDK II)","id":"CVE-2018-12179"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Privilege escalation in Intel(R) PROSet/Wireless WiFi Software","id":"CVE-2018-12177"},"products":["Extensible Firmware Interface Development Kit (EDK II)"],"published":"2019-03-27","related":[{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in EDK II","id":"CVE-2021-28216","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-08-05"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Privilege escalation in Extensible Firmware Interface Development Kit (EDK II)","id":"CVE-2018-12179","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-03-27"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Privilege escalation in Extensible Firmware Interface Development Kit (EDK II)","id":"CVE-2018-3613","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-03-27"},{"cvss_score":6.8,"headline":"Other in Tianocore","id":"CVE-2019-11098","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-07-14"},{"cvss_score":6.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in Extensible Firmware Interface Development Kit (EDK II)","id":"CVE-2018-12183","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-03-27"},{"cvss_score":6.7,"headline":"Privilege escalation in Extensible Firmware Interface Development Kit (EDK II)","id":"CVE-2018-12182","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-03-27"}],"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":"2024-08-05","vendors":["Extensible Firmware Interface Development Kit (EDK II)"]},"summary":"A buffer overflow in the EDK II network stack allows unprivileged users to escalate privileges or cause denial of service via network access.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-12178/"}
