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-2023-50981 in the wild and no public exploit code.\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-2023-50981/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-50981/index.md)","id":"CVE-2023-50981","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-50981/index.md","name":"CVE-2023-50981","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2023-50981","GHSA-wrgh-jm24-7hv6","JLSEC-2026-1273","SUSE-SU-2024:0157-1","UBUNTU-CVE-2023-50981","openSUSE-SU-2024:13550-1"],"analysis":{"component_type":"library","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Crypto++ library","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can cause a denial of service via infinite loop in Crypto++ by submitting crafted DER public-key data.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"denial_of_service"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"crypto\\+\\+","vendor":"cryptopp"}],"cvss":{"score":7.5,"severity":"high","source":"cisa-adp","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-835","name":"Loop with Unreachable Exit Condition"}],"description":"ModularSquareRoot in Crypto++ (aka cryptopp) through 8.9.0 allows attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite loop) via crafted DER public-key data associated with squared odd numbers, such as the square of 268995137513890432434389773128616504853.","ecosystems":["SUSE:Linux Enterprise Module for Basesystem 15 SP5","SUSE:Linux Enterprise Real Time 15 SP4","openSUSE:Leap 15.5","openSUSE:Tumbleweed"],"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 n/a","id":"CVE-2023-50981","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"denial_of_service","year":"2023"},"n_packages":4,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"File upload in n/a","id":"CVE-2023-50982"},"packages":[{"ecosystem":"SUSE:Linux Enterprise Module for Basesystem 15 SP5","fixed":["8.6.0-150400.3.6.1"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"libcryptopp","purl":"pkg:rpm/suse/libcryptopp\u0026distro=SUSE%20Linux%20Enterprise%20Module%20for%20Basesystem%2015%20SP5","source":"SUSE-SU-2024:0157-1"},{"ecosystem":"SUSE:Linux Enterprise Real Time 15 SP4","fixed":["8.6.0-150400.3.6.1"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"libcryptopp","purl":"pkg:rpm/suse/libcryptopp\u0026distro=SUSE%20Linux%20Enterprise%20Real%20Time%2015%20SP4","source":"SUSE-SU-2024:0157-1"},{"ecosystem":"openSUSE:Leap 15.5","fixed":["8.6.0-150400.3.6.1"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"libcryptopp","purl":"pkg:rpm/opensuse/libcryptopp\u0026distro=openSUSE%20Leap%2015.5","source":"SUSE-SU-2024:0157-1"},{"ecosystem":"openSUSE:Tumbleweed","fixed":["8.9.0-2.1"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"libcryptopp","purl":"pkg:rpm/opensuse/libcryptopp\u0026distro=openSUSE%20Tumbleweed","source":"openSUSE-SU-2024:13550-1"}],"prev":{"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2023-50980"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2023-12-18","related":[{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2023-50980","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-12-18"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Information disclosure in n/a","id":"CVE-2022-48570","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-08-22"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Information disclosure in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-3995","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-02-13"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Use after free in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-7544","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-01-30"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-9939","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-01-30"},{"cvss_score":5.9,"headline":"Information disclosure in n/a","id":"CVE-2023-50979","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-12-18"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CC BY 4.0","name":"SUSE","prefix":"SUSE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CC BY 4.0","name":"SUSE","prefix":"openSUSE"},{"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":"yes","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2025-05-07","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Attackers can cause a denial of service via infinite loop in Crypto++ by submitting crafted DER public-key data.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-50981/"}
