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-2016-2374 in the wild and no public exploit code.\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-2016-2374/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-2374/index.md)","id":"CVE-2016-2374","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-2374/index.md","name":"CVE-2016-2374","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2016-2374","GHSA-qm22-h7gg-wr34","UBUNTU-CVE-2016-2374"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution","data_read"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Pidgin instant messenger","requires_auth":"none","summary":"A memory corruption flaw in Pidgin's MXIT protocol allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or disclose sensitive information via crafted messages.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"memory_corruption"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"certcc","cpe":[{"product":"ubuntu_linux","vendor":"canonical"},{"product":"debian_linux","vendor":"debian"},{"product":"pidgin","vendor":"pidgin"}],"cvss":{"score":8.1,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-200","name":"Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor"},{"id":"CWE-125","name":"Out-of-bounds Read"}],"description":"An exploitable memory corruption vulnerability exists in the handling of the MXIT protocol in Pidgin.
