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: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2018-17955 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: SUSE yast2-multipath. 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-2018-17955/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-17955/index.md)","id":"CVE-2018-17955","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-17955/index.md","name":"CVE-2018-17955","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-pc25-pjvp-q59p","SUSE-SU-2020:3231-1","SUSE-SU-2021:0182-1","openSUSE-SU-2024:11533-1"],"analysis":{"component_type":"operating_system","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_modify"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"SUSE YaST multipath","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Local attackers can overwrite arbitrary files due to a static temporary filename in the SUSE YaST multipath configuration tool.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"path_traversal"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"microfocus","cpe":[{"product":"yast2-multipath","vendor":"opensuse"}],"cvss":{"score":2.2,"severity":"low","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:H/PR:L/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-59","name":"Improper Link Resolution Before File Access"},{"id":"CWE-377","name":"DEPRECATED: Insecure Temporary File"}],"description":"In yast2-multipath before version 4.1.1 a static temporary filename allows local attackers to overwrite files on systems without symlink protection","ecosystems":["SUSE:Linux Enterprise High Availability Extension 12 SP2","SUSE:Linux Enterprise High Availability Extension 12 SP3","SUSE:Linux Enterprise High Availability Extension 12 SP4","SUSE:Linux Enterprise High Availability Extension 12 SP5","openSUSE:Tumbleweed"],"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":"Static tempfile name allows overwriting of arbitrary files","id":"CVE-2018-17955","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"path_traversal","year":"2018"},"n_packages":5,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Password exposed in process listing","id":"CVE-2018-17956"},"packages":[{"ecosystem":"SUSE:Linux Enterprise High Availability Extension 12 SP2","fixed":["3.1.9-12.3.45"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"yast2-multipath","purl":"pkg:rpm/suse/yast2-multipath\u0026distro=SUSE%20Linux%20Enterprise%20High%20Availability%20Extension%2012%20SP2","source":"SUSE-SU-2021:0182-1"},{"ecosystem":"SUSE:Linux Enterprise High Availability Extension 12 SP3","fixed":["3.2.2-3.3.30"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"yast2-multipath","purl":"pkg:rpm/suse/yast2-multipath\u0026distro=SUSE%20Linux%20Enterprise%20High%20Availability%20Extension%2012%20SP3","source":"SUSE-SU-2020:3231-1"},{"ecosystem":"SUSE:Linux Enterprise High Availability Extension 12 SP4","fixed":["3.2.2-3.3.30"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"yast2-multipath","purl":"pkg:rpm/suse/yast2-multipath\u0026distro=SUSE%20Linux%20Enterprise%20High%20Availability%20Extension%2012%20SP4","source":"SUSE-SU-2020:3231-1"},{"ecosystem":"SUSE:Linux Enterprise High Availability Extension 12 SP5","fixed":["3.2.2-3.3.30"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"yast2-multipath","purl":"pkg:rpm/suse/yast2-multipath\u0026distro=SUSE%20Linux%20Enterprise%20High%20Availability%20Extension%2012%20SP5","source":"SUSE-SU-2020:3231-1"},{"ecosystem":"openSUSE:Tumbleweed","fixed":["4.4.1-1.2"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"yast2-multipath","purl":"pkg:rpm/opensuse/yast2-multipath\u0026distro=openSUSE%20Tumbleweed","source":"openSUSE-SU-2024:11533-1"}],"prev":{"headline":"crowbar provision leaks admin password to all nodes in cleartext","id":"CVE-2018-17954"},"products":["yast2-multipath"],"published":"2019-03-15","related":[],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CC BY 4.0","name":"SUSE","prefix":"SUSE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CC BY 4.0","name":"SUSE","prefix":"openSUSE"},{"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":["SUSE"]},"summary":"Local attackers can overwrite arbitrary files due to a static temporary filename in the SUSE YaST multipath configuration tool.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-17955/"}
