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-2016-1517 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- opencv-contrib-python (PyPI): affected all versions; fixed in 3.3.1.11\n- opencv-contrib-python (PyPI): affected all versions; fixed in 3.3.1.11\n- opencv-contrib-python (PyPI): affected all versions; fixed in 3.3.1.11\n- opencv-python (PyPI): affected all versions; fixed in 3.3.1.11\n- opencv-python (PyPI): affected all versions; fixed in 3.3.1.11\n- opencv-python (PyPI): affected all versions; fixed in 3.3.1.11\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-2016-1517/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-1517/index.md)","id":"CVE-2016-1517","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-1517/index.md","name":"CVE-2016-1517","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2016-1517","GHSA-fffj-9qwg-qmh5","PYSEC-2026-2817","PYSEC-2026-708","UBUNTU-CVE-2016-1517"],"analysis":{"component_type":"library","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"OpenCV computer vision library","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can cause a denial of service via segfaults in OpenCV by exploiting corrupt chunks, affecting applications using the library.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"denial_of_service"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"certcc","cpe":[{"product":"opencv","vendor":"opencv"}],"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-20","name":"Improper Input Validation"}],"description":"OpenCV 3.0.0 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (segfault) via vectors involving corrupt chunks.","ecosystems":["PyPI"],"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":"Improper Input Validation in OpenCV","id":"CVE-2016-1517","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":"PyPI","product":null,"products":[],"type":"denial_of_service","year":"2016"},"n_packages":6,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"Missing authorization in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-1518"},"packages":[{"ecosystem":"PyPI","fixed":["3.3.1.11"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"opencv-contrib-python","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-fffj-9qwg-qmh5"},{"ecosystem":"PyPI","fixed":["3.3.1.11"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"opencv-contrib-python","purl":"pkg:pypi/opencv-contrib-python","source":"GHSA-fffj-9qwg-qmh5"},{"ecosystem":"PyPI","fixed":["3.3.1.11"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"opencv-contrib-python","purl":"pkg:pypi/opencv-contrib-python","source":"PYSEC-2026-708"},{"ecosystem":"PyPI","fixed":["3.3.1.11"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"opencv-python","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-fffj-9qwg-qmh5"},{"ecosystem":"PyPI","fixed":["3.3.1.11"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"opencv-python","purl":"pkg:pypi/opencv-python","source":"GHSA-fffj-9qwg-qmh5"},{"ecosystem":"PyPI","fixed":["3.3.1.11"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"opencv-python","purl":"pkg:pypi/opencv-python","source":"PYSEC-2026-2817"}],"prev":{"headline":"Double Free in OpenCV","id":"CVE-2016-1516"},"products":["OpenCV 3.0.0"],"published":"2017-04-10","related":[{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Out-of-bounds Write in OpenCV","id":"CVE-2019-5063","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-01-03"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Out-of-bounds Write in OpenCV","id":"CVE-2019-5064","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-01-03"},{"cvss_score":8.2,"headline":"Out-of-bounds Read in OpenCV","id":"CVE-2019-14491","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-08-01"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Out-of-bounds Read and Out-of-bounds Write in OpenCV","id":"CVE-2019-14492","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-08-01"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2018-7712","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2018-03-05"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2018-7713","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2018-03-05"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2018-7714","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2018-03-05"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CC BY 4.0","name":"GitHub Advisory Database","prefix":"GHSA"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CC BY 4.0","name":"PyPA Advisory Database","prefix":"PYSEC"},{"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 cause a denial of service via segfaults in OpenCV by exploiting corrupt chunks, affecting applications using the library.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-1517/"}
