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-2016-10156 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Systemd Project Systemd. 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-2016-10156/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-10156/index.md)","id":"CVE-2016-10156","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-10156/index.md","name":"CVE-2016-10156","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2016-10156","GHSA-4r87-5wgm-7h7m","SUSE-SU-2017:0279-1"],"analysis":{"component_type":"operating_system","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"systemd init system","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Local attackers can escalate privileges to root due to world-writable SUID files created by systemd timers.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"systemd","vendor":"systemd_project"}],"cvss":{"score":7.8,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-264","name":null}],"description":"A flaw in systemd v228 in /src/basic/fs-util.c caused world writable suid files to be created when using the systemd timers features, allowing local attackers to escalate their privileges to root.
