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-2016-1503 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Google Android. 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-2016-1503/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-1503/index.md)","id":"CVE-2016-1503","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-1503/index.md","name":"CVE-2016-1503","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2016-1503","GHSA-mj6m-r9v5-hhc6","UBUNTU-CVE-2016-1503"],"analysis":{"component_type":"operating_system","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution","denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Android OS","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can execute arbitrary code or cause denial of service via malformed DHCP responses due to heap-based buffer overflow in dhcpcd.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"memory_corruption"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"dhcpcd","vendor":"dhcpcd_project"},{"product":"android","vendor":"google"}],"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-119","name":"Improper Restriction of Operations within the Bounds of a Memory Buffer"}],"description":"dhcpcd before 6.10.0, as used in Android 4.x before 4.4.4, 5.0.x before 5.0.2, 5.1.x before 5.1.1, and 6.x before 2016-04-01 and other products, mismanages option lengths, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (heap-based buffer overflow) via a malformed DHCP response, aka internal bug 26461634.","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":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-1503","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"google:android","products":["google:android"],"type":"memory_corruption","year":"2016"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":6,"next":{"headline":"dhcpcd before 6.10.0 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (invalid read and crash) via vectors related to the option length.","id":"CVE-2016-1504"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Auth bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-1502"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2016-04-18","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2019-11577","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-04-28"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"dhcpcd before 6.10.0 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (invalid read and crash) via vectors related to the option length.","id":"CVE-2016-1504","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-02-07"},{"cvss_score":7.1,"headline":"dhcpcd Memory Leak DoS via IPv6 Router Advertisement Handling","id":"CVE-2026-56116","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-06-23"},{"cvss_score":6.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2014-7912","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2015-07-30"},{"cvss_score":6.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2014-7913","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2015-07-30"},{"cvss_score":6,"headline":"dhcpcd Heap Use-After-Free in dhcp6_deprecateaddrs via DHCPv6 RENEW","id":"CVE-2026-56113","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-06-23"}],"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":"2024-08-05","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Remote attackers can execute arbitrary code or cause denial of service via malformed DHCP responses due to heap-based buffer overflow in dhcpcd.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-1503/"}
