It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link."},"fix_prompt":"Check this codebase for CVE-2021-29098 and fix it if it is affected.\n\nWhat it is: CVE-2021-29098 is a high-severity memory corruption vulnerability in Esri ArcGIS Desktop, published on 25 Mar 2021. 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-2021-29098 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Esri ArcGIS Desktop. 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-2021-29098/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-29098/index.md)","id":"CVE-2021-29098","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-29098/index.md","name":"CVE-2021-29098","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-5gqj-6vcf-6f45"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"GIS desktop software","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Uninitialized pointer vulnerabilities in Esri ArcGIS products allow attackers to execute arbitrary code via crafted files.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"memory_corruption"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Esri","cpe":[{"product":"arcgis_engine","vendor":"esri"},{"product":"arcgis_pro","vendor":"esri"},{"product":"arcmap","vendor":"esri"},{"product":"arcreader","vendor":"esri"}],"cvss":{"score":7.8,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-824","name":"Access of Uninitialized Pointer"}],"description":"Multiple uninitialized pointer vulnerabilities when parsing a specially crafted file in Esri ArcReader, ArcGIS Desktop, ArcGIS Engine 10.8.1 (and earlier) and ArcGIS Pro 2.7 (and earlier) allow an unauthenticated attacker to achieve arbitrary code execution in the context of the current user.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"ArcGIS general raster security update: uninitialized pointer","id":"CVE-2021-29098","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"memory_corruption","year":"2021"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":4,"next":{"headline":"There is a SQL injection vulnerability in ArcGIS Server","id":"CVE-2021-29099"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"ArcGIS general raster security update: buffer overflow","id":"CVE-2021-29097"},"products":["ArcGIS Desktop","ArcGIS Desktop Background Geoprocessing","ArcGIS Engine","ArcGIS Pro","ArcReader"],"published":"2021-03-25","related":[{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"ArcGIS general raster security update: use-after-free","id":"CVE-2021-29096","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-03-25"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"ArcGIS general raster security update: buffer overflow","id":"CVE-2021-29097","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":"no","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"total"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2025-04-10","vendors":["Esri"]},"summary":"Uninitialized pointer vulnerabilities in Esri ArcGIS products allow attackers to execute arbitrary code via crafted files.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-29098/"}
