An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim."},"fix_prompt":"Check this codebase for CVE-2016-10442 and fix it if it is affected.\n\nWhat it is: CVE-2016-10442 is a critical vulnerability in Qualcomm Mdm9640 Firmware, published on 18 Apr 2018. 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-2016-10442 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Qualcomm Mdm9640 Firmware. 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-2016-10442/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-10442/index.md)","id":"CVE-2016-10442","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-10442/index.md","name":"CVE-2016-10442","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-3mj2-f6g2-rqg9"],"analysis":{"component_type":"operating_system","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["privilege_escalation","code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Qualcomm Snapdragon Mobile","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Improper access control in Qualcomm Snapdragon kernel modules allows attackers to write to arbitrary memory and alter executable code, leading to privilege escalation.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"qualcomm","cpe":[{"product":"mdm9640_firmware","vendor":"qualcomm"},{"product":"mdm9650_firmware","vendor":"qualcomm"},{"product":"msm8937_firmware","vendor":"qualcomm"},{"product":"msm8952_firmware","vendor":"qualcomm"},{"product":"msm8976_firmware","vendor":"qualcomm"},{"product":"sdm630_firmware","vendor":"qualcomm"},{"product":"sdm845_firmware","vendor":"qualcomm"}],"cvss":{"score":9.8,"severity":"critical","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-284","name":"Improper Access Control"}],"description":"In Android before 2018-04-05 or earlier security patch level on Qualcomm Snapdragon Mobile MDM9640, SDM630, MSM8976, MSM8937, SDM845, MSM8976, and MSM8952, when running module or kernel code with improper access control allowing writing to arbitrary regions of memory, the user may utilize this vector to alter module executable code.","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":"Privilege escalation in Snapdragon Mobile","id":"CVE-2016-10442","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"qualcomm:mdm9640_firmware","products":["qualcomm:mdm9640_firmware","qualcomm:mdm9650_firmware","qualcomm:msm8937_firmware","qualcomm:msm8976_firmware","qualcomm:sdm630_firmware","qualcomm:sdm845_firmware"],"type":"privilege_escalation","year":"2016"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"Other in Snapdragon Automobile, Snapdragon Mobile, Snapdragon Wear","id":"CVE-2016-10443"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Memory corruption in Snapdragon Mobile, Snapdragon Wear","id":"CVE-2016-10441"},"products":["Snapdragon Mobile"],"published":"2018-04-18","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in Snapdragon Mobile","id":"CVE-2016-10419","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2018-04-18"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in Snapdragon Automobile, Snapdragon Mobile","id":"CVE-2016-10486","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2018-04-18"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in Snapdragon Mobile","id":"CVE-2017-18137","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2018-04-11"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Use after free in Snapdragon Auto, Snapdragon Consumer IOT, Snapdragon Mobile, Snapdragon Voice \u0026 Music","id":"CVE-2019-2316","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-07-25"}],"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":"2024-09-17","vendors":["Qualcomm, Inc."]},"summary":"Improper access control in Qualcomm Snapdragon kernel modules allows attackers to write to arbitrary memory and alter executable code, leading to privilege escalation.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-10442/"}
