An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: Yes. Attackers have exploited CVE-2016-1646 in the wild since at least 8 Jun 2022.\n\nAffected product: Canonical Ubuntu Linux. 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-2016-1646/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-1646/index.md)","id":"CVE-2016-1646","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-1646/index.md","name":"CVE-2016-1646","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-93cg-vfx4-pxr4","UBUNTU-CVE-2016-1646"],"analysis":{"component_type":"browser","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["denial_of_service","code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Google Chrome","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can cause denial of service or potentially execute code via crafted JavaScript due to improper type handling in V8.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"memory_corruption"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Chrome","cpe":[{"product":"ubuntu_linux","vendor":"canonical"},{"product":"debian_linux","vendor":"debian"},{"product":"chrome","vendor":"google"},{"product":"leap","vendor":"opensuse"},{"product":"opensuse","vendor":"opensuse"},{"product":"enterprise_linux_desktop","vendor":"redhat"},{"product":"enterprise_linux_eus","vendor":"redhat"},{"product":"enterprise_linux_server","vendor":"redhat"},{"product":"enterprise_linux_workstation","vendor":"redhat"},{"product":"package_hub","vendor":"suse"}],"cvss":{"score":8.8,"severity":"high","source":"cisa-adp","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-125","name":"Out-of-bounds Read"}],"description":"The Array.prototype.concat implementation in builtins.cc in Google V8, as used in Google Chrome before 49.0.2623.108, does not properly consider element data types, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read) or possibly have unspecified other impact via crafted JavaScript code.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"exploited"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"Google Chromium V8 Out-of-Bounds Read","id":"CVE-2016-1646","indexable":true,"kev":{"dateAdded":"2022-06-08","dueDate":"2022-06-22","knownRansomwareCampaignUse":"Unknown","product":"Chromium V8","requiredAction":"Apply updates per vendor instructions.","vendorProject":"Google","vulnerabilityName":"Google Chromium V8 Out-of-Bounds Read Vulnerability"},"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"canonical:ubuntu_linux","products":["canonical:ubuntu_linux","debian:debian_linux","google:chrome","opensuse:leap","opensuse:opensuse","redhat:enterprise_linux_desktop","redhat:enterprise_linux_eus","redhat:enterprise_linux_server","redhat:enterprise_linux_workstation"],"type":"memory_corruption","year":"2016"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":11,"next":{"headline":"Use after free in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-1647"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Integer overflow in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-1645"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2016-03-29","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"SaltStack Salt Authentication Bypass","id":"CVE-2020-11651","kev_date_added":"2021-11-03","published":"2020-04-30"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"OpenSMTPD Remote Code Execution","id":"CVE-2020-7247","kev_date_added":"2022-03-25","published":"2020-01-29"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Exim Out-of-bounds Write","id":"CVE-2019-16928","kev_date_added":"2022-03-03","published":"2019-09-27"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Exim Buffer Overflow","id":"CVE-2018-6789","kev_date_added":"2021-11-03","published":"2018-02-08"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Oracle Java SE and Java SE Embedded Remote Code Execution","id":"CVE-2015-2590","kev_date_added":"2022-03-03","published":"2015-07-16"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Oracle JRE Remote Code Execution","id":"CVE-2013-0422","kev_date_added":"2022-05-25","published":"2013-01-10"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Oracle Java SE Runtime Environment (JRE) Arbitrary Code Execution","id":"CVE-2011-3544","kev_date_added":"2022-03-03","published":"2011-10-19"}],"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":"open","licence":"CC0 1.0","name":"CISA KEV"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"active","technical_impact":"total"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2025-10-21","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Remote attackers can cause denial of service or potentially execute code via crafted JavaScript due to improper type handling in V8.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-1646/"}
