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-2021-42373 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Fedoraproject Fedora. 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-2021-42373/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-42373/index.md)","id":"CVE-2021-42373","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-42373/index.md","name":"CVE-2021-42373","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2021-42373","GHSA-6w3h-h7gw-72qf"],"analysis":{"component_type":"operating_system","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"BusyBox utility","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A NULL pointer dereference in BusyBox's man applet allows attackers to cause a denial of service by supplying a section name without a page argument.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"null_dereference"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"JFROG","cpe":[{"product":"busybox","vendor":"busybox"},{"product":"fedora","vendor":"fedoraproject"},{"product":"cloud_backup","vendor":"netapp"},{"product":"h300e_firmware","vendor":"netapp"},{"product":"h300s_firmware","vendor":"netapp"},{"product":"h410s_firmware","vendor":"netapp"},{"product":"h500e_firmware","vendor":"netapp"},{"product":"h500s_firmware","vendor":"netapp"},{"product":"h700e_firmware","vendor":"netapp"},{"product":"h700s_firmware","vendor":"netapp"},{"product":"hci_management_node","vendor":"netapp"},{"product":"solidfire","vendor":"netapp"}],"cvss":{"score":5.5,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-476","name":"NULL Pointer Dereference"}],"description":"A NULL pointer dereference in Busybox's man applet leads to denial of service when a section name is supplied but no page argument is given","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":"Null dereference in busybox","id":"CVE-2021-42373","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"fedoraproject:fedora","products":["fedoraproject:fedora","netapp:cloud_backup","netapp:h300e_firmware","netapp:h300s_firmware","netapp:h410s_firmware","netapp:h500e_firmware","netapp:h500s_firmware","netapp:h700e_firmware","netapp:h700s_firmware","netapp:hci_management_node","netapp:solidfire"],"type":"null_dereference","year":"2021"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":5,"next":{"headline":"Information disclosure in busybox","id":"CVE-2021-42374"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Command injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2021-42372"},"products":["busybox"],"published":"2021-11-15","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2022-48174","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-08-22"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in busybox","id":"CVE-2021-42377","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-11-15"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-2148","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-02-09"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Command injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2022-28391","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-04-03"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Code injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-16544","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-11-20"},{"cvss_score":8,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2018-1000517","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2018-06-26"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Path traversal in n/a","id":"CVE-2023-39810","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-08-28"}],"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":"2024-08-04","vendors":["busybox"]},"summary":"A NULL pointer dereference in BusyBox's man applet allows attackers to cause a denial of service by supplying a section name without a page argument.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-42373/"}
