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-2016-1901 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Fedoraproject Fedora. 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-2016-1901/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-1901/index.md)","id":"CVE-2016-1901","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-1901/index.md","name":"CVE-2016-1901","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2016-1901","GHSA-r786-p84w-55j2"],"analysis":{"component_type":"web_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution","denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"CGit web interface","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can trigger a buffer overflow via a large Content-Length header in CGit, potentially leading to code execution or denial of service.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"integer_overflow"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"cgit","vendor":"cgit_project"},{"product":"fedora","vendor":"fedoraproject"}],"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":"Integer overflow in the authenticate_post function in CGit before 0.12 allows remote attackers to have unspecified impact via a large value in the Content-Length HTTP header, which triggers a buffer overflow.","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":"Integer overflow in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-1901","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"fedoraproject:fedora","products":["fedoraproject:fedora"],"type":"integer_overflow","year":"2016"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":9,"next":{"headline":"Symfony Cryptographic Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2016-1902"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-1900"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2016-01-20","related":[{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Path traversal in n/a","id":"CVE-2018-14912","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2018-08-03"},{"cvss_score":3.7,"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-1899","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2016-01-20"},{"cvss_score":3.7,"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-1900","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2016-01-20"}],"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 trigger a buffer overflow via a large Content-Length header in CGit, potentially leading to code execution or denial of service.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-1901/"}
