It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2020-4492 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Ibm Spectrum Scale. 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-2020-4492/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-4492/index.md)","id":"CVE-2020-4492","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-4492/index.md","name":"CVE-2020-4492","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-pch5-pgjv-2p83"],"analysis":{"component_type":"operating_system","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"IBM Spectrum Scale","requires_auth":"none","summary":"A local attacker can crash the kernel by sending invalid arguments via ioctls, causing a denial of service in IBM Spectrum Scale.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"denial_of_service"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"ibm","cpe":[{"product":"spectrum_scale","vendor":"ibm"}],"cvss":{"score":6.2,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.0/I:N/C:N/UI:N/AC:L/A:H/PR:N/S:U/AV:L/RC:C/E:U/RL:O","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-88","name":"Improper Neutralization of Argument Delimiters in a Command"}],"description":"IBM Spectrum Scale V5.0.0.0 through V5.0.4.3 and V4.2.0.0 through V4.2.3.21 could allow a local attacker to cause a denial of service crashing the kernel by sending a subset of ioctls on the device with invalid arguments.
