{"id":"UBUNTU-CVE-2013-2038","details":"The NMEA0183 driver in gpsd before 3.9 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (daemon termination) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a GPS packet with a malformed $GPGGA interpreted sentence that lacks certain fields and a terminator.  NOTE: a separate issue in the AIS driver was also reported, but it might not be a vulnerability.","modified":"2026-02-04T02:29:11.539213Z","published":"2013-05-02T00:00:00Z","withdrawn":"2025-07-18T16:42:51Z","related":["USN-1820-1"],"upstream":["CVE-2013-2038"],"references":[{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://ubuntu.com/security/CVE-2013-2038"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"http://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/gpsd-dev/2013-05/msg00000.html"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"http://www.openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2013/05/02/20"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://ubuntu.com/security/notices/USN-1820-1"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2013-2038"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"gpsd","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:14.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/gpsd@3.9-3?arch=source&distro=trusty"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"3.9-3"}]}],"versions":["3.9-2"],"ecosystem_specific":{"availability":"No subscription required","binaries":[{"binary_name":"gpsd","binary_version":"3.9-3"},{"binary_name":"gpsd-clients","binary_version":"3.9-3"},{"binary_name":"gpsd-dbg","binary_version":"3.9-3"},{"binary_name":"libgps-dev","binary_version":"3.9-3"},{"binary_name":"libgps20","binary_version":"3.9-3"},{"binary_name":"libqgpsmm-dev","binary_version":"3.9-3"},{"binary_name":"libqgpsmm20","binary_version":"3.9-3"},{"binary_name":"python-gps","binary_version":"3.9-3"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2013/UBUNTU-CVE-2013-2038.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.7.3","severity":[{"type":"Ubuntu","score":"medium"}]}
