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-2016-10012 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: OpenSSH. 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-2016-10012/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-10012/index.md)","id":"CVE-2016-10012","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-10012/index.md","name":"CVE-2016-10012","record":{"aliases":["ALPINE-CVE-2016-10012","CLSA-2022-1658171011","CLSA-2022-1658171690","DEBIAN-CVE-2016-10012","GHSA-f4jf-rwp2-rx83","UBUNTU-CVE-2016-10012"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":true,"product_category":"OpenSSH server","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Local attackers can escalate privileges by exploiting a bounds check failure in the OpenSSH shared memory manager when pre-authentication compression is enabled.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"openssh","vendor":"openbsd"}],"cvss":{"score":7.8,"severity":"high","source":"cisa-adp","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-119","name":"Improper Restriction of Operations within the Bounds of a Memory Buffer"}],"description":"The shared memory manager (associated with pre-authentication compression) in sshd in OpenSSH before 7.4 does not ensure that a bounds check is enforced by all compilers, which might allows local users to gain privileges by leveraging access to a sandboxed privilege-separation process, related to the m_zback and m_zlib data structures.","ecosystems":[],"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":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-10012","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"openbsd:openssh","products":["openbsd:openssh"],"type":"privilege_escalation","year":"2016"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":12,"next":{"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-10013"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Information disclosure in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-10011"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2017-01-05","related":[{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Auth bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2003-0786","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2003-09-25"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2003-0693","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2003-09-17"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2002-0640","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2003-04-02"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Integer overflow in n/a","id":"CVE-2001-0144","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2001-05-07"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2000-0999","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2000-11-29"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2000-0525","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2000-10-13"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Auth bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2010-4478","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2010-12-06"}],"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":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"total"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-05-29","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Local attackers can escalate privileges by exploiting a bounds check failure in the OpenSSH shared memory manager when pre-authentication compression is enabled.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-10012/"}
