An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2023-51885 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-2023-51885/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-51885/index.md)","id":"CVE-2023-51885","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-51885/index.md","name":"CVE-2023-51885","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2023-51885","GHSA-8h9j-pxfp-9p97","UBUNTU-CVE-2023-51885"],"analysis":{"component_type":"library","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"LaTeX rendering library","requires_auth":"none","summary":"A remote attacker can execute arbitrary code via a buffer overflow in the Mathtex library by manipulating the length of a LaTeX string.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"memory_corruption"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"mathtex","vendor":"ctan"}],"cvss":{"score":9.8,"severity":"critical","source":"cisa-adp","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-120","name":"Buffer Copy without Checking Size of Input"}],"description":"Buffer Overflow vulnerability in Mathtex v.1.05 and before allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code via the length of the LaTeX string component.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":false,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2023-51885","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"memory_corruption","year":"2023"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2023-51886"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2023-51847"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2024-01-24","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Command injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2023-51887","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-01-24"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2023-51889","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-01-24"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2023-51886","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-01-24"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2023-51888","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-01-24"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2023-51890","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-01-24"}],"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":"yes","exploitation":"poc","technical_impact":"total"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2025-05-30","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"A remote attacker can execute arbitrary code via a buffer overflow in the Mathtex library by manipulating the length of a LaTeX string.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-51885/"}
