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-2018-1517 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Redhat Enterprise Linux Desktop. 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-2018-1517/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-1517/index.md)","id":"CVE-2018-1517","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-1517/index.md","name":"CVE-2018-1517","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-m9w3-gv68-h6xv"],"analysis":{"component_type":"library","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Java SDK","requires_auth":"none","summary":"An attacker can cause a denial of service in IBM Java SDK by sending specially crafted String data to the java.math component.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"denial_of_service"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"ibm","cpe":[{"product":"software_development_kit","vendor":"ibm"},{"product":"enterprise_linux_desktop","vendor":"redhat"},{"product":"enterprise_linux_server","vendor":"redhat"},{"product":"enterprise_linux_workstation","vendor":"redhat"},{"product":"satellite","vendor":"redhat"}],"cvss":{"score":5.9,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.0/A:H/AC:H/AV:N/C:N/I:N/PR:N/S:U/UI:N/E:U/RC:C/RL:O","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-20","name":"Improper Input Validation"}],"description":"A flaw in the java.math component in IBM SDK, Java Technology Edition 6.0, 7.0, and 8.0 may allow an attacker to inflict a denial-of-service attack with specially crafted String data.
