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: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2016-2226 exists.\n\nAffected product: n/a. 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-2016-2226/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-2226/index.md)","id":"CVE-2016-2226","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-2226/index.md","name":"CVE-2016-2226","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2016-2226","GHSA-pcjp-97ph-pm6p","UBUNTU-CVE-2016-2226"],"analysis":{"component_type":"library","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"libiberty library","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can execute arbitrary code via a crafted executable due to an integer overflow in libiberty's string handling.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"integer_overflow"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"libiberty","vendor":"gnu"}],"cvss":{"score":7.8,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-190","name":"Integer Overflow or Wraparound"},{"id":"CWE-119","name":"Improper Restriction of Operations within the Bounds of a Memory Buffer"}],"description":"Integer overflow in the string_appends function in cplus-dem.c in libiberty allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted executable, which triggers a buffer overflow.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":1,"first_seen":"2017-07-27","github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2017-07-27","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"42386","stars":null,"title":"GNU libiberty - Buffer Overflow"}],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"Integer overflow in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-2226","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"integer_overflow","year":"2016"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":4,"next":{"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-2228"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-2225"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2017-02-24","related":[{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-6131","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-02-07"},{"cvss_score":5.5,"headline":"Use after free in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-4487","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-02-24"},{"cvss_score":5.5,"headline":"Use after free in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-4488","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-02-24"},{"cvss_score":5.5,"headline":"Integer overflow in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-4489","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-02-24"},{"cvss_score":5.5,"headline":"Integer overflow in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-4490","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-02-24"},{"cvss_score":5.5,"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-4491","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-02-24"}],"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)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"GPL-2.0-or-later","name":"Exploit-DB"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-05","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Remote attackers can execute arbitrary code via a crafted executable due to an integer overflow in libiberty's string handling.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-2226/"}
