An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2021-20209 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: privoxy. 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-2021-20209/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-20209/index.md)","id":"CVE-2021-20209","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-20209/index.md","name":"CVE-2021-20209","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2021-20209","GHSA-qf5g-m559-vx7x","UBUNTU-CVE-2021-20209"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":true,"product_category":"Privoxy web proxy","requires_auth":"none","summary":"A memory leak in Privoxy's status handler can lead to resource exhaustion and denial of service when action files are not configured.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"denial_of_service"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"redhat","cpe":[{"product":"privoxy","vendor":"privoxy"}],"cvss":{"score":7.5,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-401","name":"Missing Release of Memory after Effective Lifetime"}],"description":"A memory leak vulnerability was found in Privoxy before 3.0.29 in the show-status CGI handler when no action files are configured.","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 privoxy","id":"CVE-2021-20209","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"denial_of_service","year":"2021"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":4,"next":{"headline":"Denial of service in privoxy","id":"CVE-2021-20210"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Privilege escalation in cifs-utils","id":"CVE-2021-20208"},"products":["privoxy"],"published":"2021-05-25","related":[{"cvss_score":7.7,"headline":"Local privilege escalation from user privoxy to root","id":"CVE-2019-3699","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-01-24"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Denial of service in Privoxy","id":"CVE-2021-44540","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-12-23"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Denial of service in Privoxy","id":"CVE-2021-44541","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-12-23"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Denial of service in Privoxy","id":"CVE-2021-44542","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-12-23"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Denial of service in privoxy","id":"CVE-2020-35502","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-03-25"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Denial of service in privoxy","id":"CVE-2021-20210","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-03-25"}],"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":"2024-08-03","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"A memory leak in Privoxy's status handler can lead to resource exhaustion and denial of service when action files are not configured.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-20209/"}
