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-2018-20348 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: n/a. 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-2018-20348/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-20348/index.md)","id":"CVE-2018-20348","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-20348/index.md","name":"CVE-2018-20348","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2018-20348","GHSA-8pp8-7wvw-f67f","UBUNTU-CVE-2018-20348"],"analysis":{"component_type":"library","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"libpff library","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can cause a denial of service via infinite recursion in libpff by providing a crafted file, affecting applications using this library.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"denial_of_service"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"libpff","vendor":"libpff_project"}],"cvss":{"score":5.5,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-835","name":"Loop with Unreachable Exit Condition"}],"description":"libpff_item_tree_create_node in libpff_item_tree.c in libpff before experimental-20180714 allows attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite recursion) via a crafted file, related to libfdata_tree_get_node_value in libfdata_tree.c.","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":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2018-20348","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"denial_of_service","year":"2018"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Null dereference in n/a","id":"CVE-2018-20349"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"DO NOT USE THIS CANDIDATE NUMBER.","id":"CVE-2018-20347"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2018-12-22","related":[{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Use after free in n/a","id":"CVE-2020-18897","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-08-19"},{"cvss_score":5.5,"headline":"Information disclosure in n/a","id":"CVE-2018-11723","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2018-06-19"}],"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":["n/a"]},"summary":"Attackers can cause a denial of service via infinite recursion in libpff by providing a crafted file, affecting applications using this library.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-20348/"}
