An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2016-0737 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- swift (PyPI): affected all versions; fixed in 2.4.0\n- swift (PyPI): affected all versions; fixed in 2.4.0\n- swift (PyPI): affected all versions; fixed in 2.4.0\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-2016-0737/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-0737/index.md)","id":"CVE-2016-0737","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-0737/index.md","name":"CVE-2016-0737","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2016-0737","GHSA-972c-cfv8-2hq8","PYSEC-2026-929","UBUNTU-CVE-2016-0737"],"analysis":{"component_type":"cloud_service","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"OpenStack Object Storage","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can cause denial of service in OpenStack Swift by sending interrupted requests to Large Object URLs, exhausting proxy-server resources.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"denial_of_service"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"redhat","cpe":[{"product":"swift","vendor":"openstack"}],"cvss":{"score":7.5,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-399","name":null}],"description":"OpenStack Object Storage (Swift) before 2.4.0 does not properly close client connections, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (proxy-server resource consumption) via a series of interrupted requests to a Large Object URL.","ecosystems":["PyPI"],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"OpenStack Object Storage (Swift) allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service","id":"CVE-2016-0737","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":"PyPI","product":null,"products":[],"type":"denial_of_service","year":"2016"},"n_packages":3,"n_references":9,"next":{"headline":"OpenStack Object Storage (Swift) allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service","id":"CVE-2016-0738"},"packages":[{"ecosystem":"PyPI","fixed":["2.4.0"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"swift","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-972c-cfv8-2hq8"},{"ecosystem":"PyPI","fixed":["2.4.0"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"swift","purl":"pkg:pypi/swift","source":"GHSA-972c-cfv8-2hq8"},{"ecosystem":"PyPI","fixed":["2.4.0"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"swift","purl":"pkg:pypi/swift","source":"PYSEC-2026-929"}],"prev":{"headline":"Weak cryptography in Apache HTTP Server","id":"CVE-2016-0736"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2016-01-29","related":[{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"OpenStack Object Storage (Swift) allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service","id":"CVE-2016-0738","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2016-01-29"},{"cvss_score":7.1,"headline":"OpenStack Swift: s3api middleware enters an infinite loop when processing a truncated aws-chunked PUT request body","id":"CVE-2026-49017","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-05-27"},{"cvss_score":5.8,"headline":"Python Swift client is vulnerable to Missing SSL Certificate Check","id":"CVE-2013-6396","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2014-02-18"},{"cvss_score":5.3,"headline":"OpenStack Swift vulnerable to authenticated server-side request forgery","id":"CVE-2026-50221","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-06-23"},{"cvss_score":5,"headline":"OpenStack Object Storage (Swift) Sensitive Data Exposure","id":"CVE-2015-5223","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2015-10-26"},{"cvss_score":4.3,"headline":"Temporary urls leaked via logging","id":"CVE-2017-8761","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-06-02"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CC BY 4.0","name":"GitHub Advisory Database","prefix":"GHSA"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CC BY 4.0","name":"PyPA Advisory Database","prefix":"PYSEC"},{"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":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-05","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Remote attackers can cause denial of service in OpenStack Swift by sending interrupted requests to Large Object URLs, exhausting proxy-server resources.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-0737/"}
