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: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2023-42364 exists.\n\nAffected product: n/a. 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-2023-42364/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-42364/index.md)","id":"CVE-2023-42364","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-42364/index.md","name":"CVE-2023-42364","record":{"aliases":["ALPINE-CVE-2023-42364","AZL-33493","AZL-34575","BELL-CVE-2023-42364","CLEANSTART-2026-SM91507","DEBIAN-CVE-2023-42364","ECHO-e4a3-d839-c3a1","GHSA-qqqj-6rp2-5pw4","UBUNTU-CVE-2023-42364"],"analysis":{"component_type":"operating_system","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"BusyBox utility","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can cause denial of service in BusyBox via a crafted awk pattern exploiting a use-after-free vulnerability.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"use_after_free"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"busybox","vendor":"busybox"}],"cvss":{"score":5.5,"severity":"medium","source":"cisa-adp","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-416","name":"Use After Free"}],"description":"A use-after-free vulnerability in BusyBox v.1.36.1 allows attackers to cause a denial of service via a crafted awk pattern in the awk.c evaluate function.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"Use after free in n/a","id":"CVE-2023-42364","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"use_after_free","year":"2023"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Use after free in n/a","id":"CVE-2023-42365"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Use after free in n/a","id":"CVE-2023-42363"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2023-11-27","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":"no","exploitation":"poc","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2025-11-03","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Attackers can cause denial of service in BusyBox via a crafted awk pattern exploiting a use-after-free vulnerability.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-42364/"}
