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-2020-15904 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- bsdiff4 (PyPI): affected all versions; fixed in 1.2.0\n- bsdiff4 (PyPI): affected all versions; fixed in 1.2.0\n- bsdiff4 (PyPI): affected all versions; fixed in 1.2.0\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-2020-15904/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-15904/index.md)","id":"CVE-2020-15904","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-15904/index.md","name":"CVE-2020-15904","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-f8m3-jpxr-hm5x","PYSEC-2020-30"],"analysis":{"component_type":"library","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Python bsdiff4 library","requires_auth":"none","summary":"A buffer overflow in the bsdiff4 library allows attackers to write to heap memory via crafted patch files, potentially leading to code execution.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"memory_corruption"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"bsdiff4","vendor":"pypi"}],"cvss":{"score":7.8,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-787","name":"Out-of-bounds Write"}],"description":"A buffer overflow in the patching routine of bsdiff4 before 1.2.0 allows an attacker to write to heap memory (beyond allocated bounds) via a crafted patch file.","ecosystems":["PyPI"],"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":"bsdiff4 out-of-bounds write via patch file","id":"CVE-2020-15904","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":"PyPI","product":null,"products":[],"type":"memory_corruption","year":"2020"},"n_packages":3,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"Auth bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2020-15906"},"packages":[{"ecosystem":"PyPI","fixed":["1.2.0"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"bsdiff4","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-f8m3-jpxr-hm5x"},{"ecosystem":"PyPI","fixed":["1.2.0"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"bsdiff4","purl":"pkg:pypi/bsdiff4","source":"GHSA-f8m3-jpxr-hm5x"},{"ecosystem":"PyPI","fixed":["1.2.0"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"bsdiff4","purl":"pkg:pypi/bsdiff4","source":"PYSEC-2020-30"}],"prev":{"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2020-15903"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2020-07-22","related":[],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CC BY 4.0","name":"GitHub Advisory Database","prefix":"GHSA"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CC BY 4.0","name":"PyPA Advisory Database","prefix":"PYSEC"},{"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":"2024-08-04","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"A buffer overflow in the bsdiff4 library allows attackers to write to heap memory via crafted patch files, potentially leading to code execution.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-15904/"}
