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-2016-2233 in the wild and no public exploit code.\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-2016-2233/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-2233/index.md)","id":"CVE-2016-2233","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-2233/index.md","name":"CVE-2016-2233","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2016-2233","GHSA-xgr5-8gm5-gj39","UBUNTU-CVE-2016-2233"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"IRC client","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote IRC servers can crash HexChat via a stack-based buffer overflow in CAP LS message handling.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"memory_corruption"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"hexchat","vendor":"hexchat_project"}],"cvss":{"score":7.5,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-119","name":"Improper Restriction of Operations within the Bounds of a Memory Buffer"}],"description":"Stack-based buffer overflow in the inbound_cap_ls function in common/inbound.c in HexChat 2.10.2 allows remote IRC servers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a large number of options in a CAP LS message.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":1,"first_seen":"2016-04-04","github_poc":1,"max_poc_stars":0,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2016-04-04","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"39657","stars":null,"title":"Hexchat IRC Client 2.11.0 - CAP LS Handling Buffer Overflow"},{"date":"2018-12-03T02:55:06Z","kind":"github_poc","ref":"https://github.com/fath0218/CVE-2016-2233","stars":0,"title":"This is an exploitation guide for CVE-2016-2233"}],"tier":"poc_unverified"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-2233","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"memory_corruption","year":"2016"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":3,"next":{"headline":"Code injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-2242"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Null dereference in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-2232"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2017-01-18","related":[{"cvss_score":7.4,"headline":"Path traversal in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-2087","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-01-18"}],"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"},{"class":"open","licence":"CC0","name":"PoC-in-GitHub"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-05","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Remote IRC servers can crash HexChat via a stack-based buffer overflow in CAP LS message handling.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-2233/"}
