It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2006-6496 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-2006-6496/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2006-6496/index.md)","id":"CVE-2006-6496","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2006-6496/index.md","name":"CVE-2006-6496","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-q2f4-cwwh-9hgx"],"analysis":{"component_type":"operating_system","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"CA Anti-Virus driver","requires_auth":"high_privilege","summary":"Local administrators can crash the system via specific IOCTLs due to improper NULL buffer handling in CA Anti-Virus kernel drivers.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"null_dereference"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"etrust_antivirus","vendor":"broadcom"},{"product":"internet_security_suite","vendor":"broadcom"}],"cvss":{"score":6.6,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:L/AC:M/Au:S/C:C/I:C/A:C","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[],"description":"The (1) VetMONNT.sys and (2) VetFDDNT.sys drivers in CA Anti-Virus 2007 8.1, Anti-Virus for Vista Beta 8.2, and CA Internet Security Suite 2007 v3.0 do not properly handle NULL buffers, which allows local users with administrative access to cause a denial of service (system crash) via certain IOCTLs.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Null dereference in n/a","id":"CVE-2006-6496","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"null_dereference","year":"2006"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":11,"next":{"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2006-6497"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2006-6495"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2006-12-13","related":[{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Integer overflow in n/a","id":"CVE-2005-1693","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2005-05-24"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Other in n/a","id":"CVE-2006-3223","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2006-06-27"},{"cvss_score":5.1,"headline":"Security feature bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2005-3372","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2005-10-29"},{"cvss_score":5.1,"headline":"Security feature bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2005-3225","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2005-10-14"}],"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":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-07","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Local administrators can crash the system via specific IOCTLs due to improper NULL buffer handling in CA Anti-Virus kernel drivers.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2006-6496/"}
