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-2016-2563 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-2016-2563/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-2563/index.md)","id":"CVE-2016-2563","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-2563/index.md","name":"CVE-2016-2563","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2016-2563","GHSA-4hmm-v4j9-3hw2","MGASA-2016-0112","MGASA-2016-0118"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution","denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"PuTTY SCP client","requires_auth":"none","summary":"A stack-based buffer overflow in PuTTY's SCP utility allows remote servers to execute arbitrary code or cause denial of service via crafted responses.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"memory_corruption"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"kitty","vendor":"9bis"},{"product":"putty","vendor":"simon_tatham"}],"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":"Stack-based buffer overflow in the SCP command-line utility in PuTTY before 0.67 and KiTTY 0.66.6.3 and earlier allows remote servers to cause a denial of service (stack memory corruption) or execute arbitrary code via a crafted SCP-SINK file-size response to an SCP download request.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":1,"first_seen":"2016-03-10","github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2016-03-10","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"39551","stars":null,"title":"Putty pscp 0.66 - Stack Buffer Overwrite"}],"tier":"poc_unverified"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-2563","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"memory_corruption","year":"2016"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":7,"next":{"headline":"Weak cryptography in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-2564"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"phpMyAdmin Improper Input Validation","id":"CVE-2016-2562"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2016-04-07","related":[{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Command injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2024-23749","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-02-09"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2024-25003","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-02-09"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2024-25004","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-02-09"},{"cvss_score":5.9,"headline":"Prefix Truncation Attack against ChaCha20-Poly1305 and Encrypt-then-MAC aka Terrapin","id":"CVE-2023-48795","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-12-18"}],"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"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-05","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"A stack-based buffer overflow in PuTTY's SCP utility allows remote servers to execute arbitrary code or cause denial of service via crafted responses.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-2563/"}
