It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2019-3844 exists.\n\nAffected product: Canonical Ubuntu Linux. 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-2019-3844/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2019-3844/index.md)","id":"CVE-2019-3844","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2019-3844/index.md","name":"CVE-2019-3844","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2019-3844","GHSA-h647-28xp-2hc8","UBUNTU-CVE-2019-3844"],"analysis":{"component_type":"operating_system","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["privilege_escalation","data_read"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":true,"product_category":"systemd service manager","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Local attackers can exploit SUID binaries in DynamicUser services to gain privileges and access resources owned by other services via GID recycling.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"redhat","cpe":[{"product":"ubuntu_linux","vendor":"canonical"},{"product":"cn1610_firmware","vendor":"netapp"},{"product":"hci_management_node","vendor":"netapp"},{"product":"snapprotect","vendor":"netapp"},{"product":"solidfire","vendor":"netapp"},{"product":"systemd","vendor":"systemd_project"}],"cvss":{"score":4.5,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:L","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-268","name":"Privilege Chaining"}],"description":"It was discovered that a systemd service that uses DynamicUser property can get new privileges through the execution of SUID binaries, which would allow to create binaries owned by the service transient group with the setgid bit set.
