{"id":"DEBIAN-CVE-2004-2372","details":"Buffer overflow in Bochs before 2.1.1, if installed setuid, allows local users to execute arbitrary code via a long HOME environment variable, which is used if the .bochsrc, bochsrc, and bochsrc.txt cannot be found in a known path.  NOTE: some external documents recommend that Bochs be installed setuid root, so this should be treated as a vulnerability.","modified":"2026-09-15T06:47:28.717319403Z","published":"2004-12-31T05:00:00Z","upstream":["CVE-2004-2372"],"references":[{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/CVE-2004-2372"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"bochs","ecosystem":"Debian:12","purl":"pkg:deb/debian/bochs?arch=source&distro=bookworm"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"2.1.1-1"}]}],"ecosystem_specific":{"urgency":"not yet assigned"},"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/debian-osv/debian-cve-osv/DEBIAN-CVE-2004-2372.json"}},{"package":{"name":"bochs","ecosystem":"Debian:13","purl":"pkg:deb/debian/bochs?arch=source&distro=trixie"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"2.1.1-1"}]}],"ecosystem_specific":{"urgency":"not yet assigned"},"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/debian-osv/debian-cve-osv/DEBIAN-CVE-2004-2372.json"}},{"package":{"name":"bochs","ecosystem":"Debian:14","purl":"pkg:deb/debian/bochs?arch=source&distro=forky"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"2.1.1-1"}]}],"ecosystem_specific":{"urgency":"not yet assigned"},"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/debian-osv/debian-cve-osv/DEBIAN-CVE-2004-2372.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.9.0"}
