{"id":"AZL-48462","summary":"CVE-2024-8006 affecting package nmap for versions less than 7.93-3","details":"Remote packet capture support is disabled by default in libpcap.  When a user builds libpcap with remote packet capture support enabled, one of the functions that become available is pcap_findalldevs_ex().  One of the function arguments can be a filesystem path, which normally means a directory with input data files.  When the specified path cannot be used as a directory, the function receives NULL from opendir(), but does not check the return value and passes the NULL value to readdir(), which causes a NULL pointer derefence.","modified":"2026-04-01T05:17:11.786379Z","published":"2024-08-31T00:15:05Z","upstream":["CVE-2024-8006"],"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2024-8006"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"nmap","ecosystem":"Azure Linux:2","purl":"pkg:rpm/azure-linux/nmap"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"7.93-3"}]}],"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/microsoft/AzureLinuxVulnerabilityData/blob/main/osv/AZL-48462.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.7.5","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H"}]}
