It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2016-10255 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-2016-10255/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-10255/index.md)","id":"CVE-2016-10255","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-10255/index.md","name":"CVE-2016-10255","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2016-10255","GHSA-j343-3qch-m53h","UBUNTU-CVE-2016-10255"],"analysis":{"component_type":"library","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"ELF file utility library","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can cause a denial of service via crafted ELF header values in elfutils, leading to a crash.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"denial_of_service"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"elfutils","vendor":"elfutils_project"}],"cvss":{"score":5.5,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-119","name":"Improper Restriction of Operations within the Bounds of a Memory Buffer"}],"description":"The __libelf_set_rawdata_wrlock function in elf_getdata.c in elfutils before 0.168 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a crafted (1) sh_off or (2) sh_size ELF header value, which triggers a memory allocation failure.","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":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-10255","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"denial_of_service","year":"2016"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":6,"next":{"headline":"Cross-site scripting in ProxySG","id":"CVE-2016-10256"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-10254"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2017-03-23","related":[{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2018-8769","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2018-03-18"},{"cvss_score":6.8,"headline":"Integer overflow in n/a","id":"CVE-2014-0172","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2014-04-11"},{"cvss_score":6.5,"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2019-7148","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-01-29"},{"cvss_score":6.4,"headline":"Path traversal in n/a","id":"CVE-2014-9447","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2015-01-02"},{"cvss_score":5.5,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2020-21047","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-08-22"},{"cvss_score":5.5,"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2021-33294","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-07-18"},{"cvss_score":5.5,"headline":"Integer overflow in n/a","id":"CVE-2019-7664","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-02-09"}],"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":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-06","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Remote attackers can cause a denial of service via crafted ELF header values in elfutils, leading to a crash.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-10255/"}
