It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2016-2984 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Ibm Spectrum Scale. 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-2016-2984/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-2984/index.md)","id":"CVE-2016-2984","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-2984/index.md","name":"CVE-2016-2984","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-f573-78g9-q6g7"],"analysis":{"component_type":"operating_system","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"IBM Spectrum Scale","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Local attackers can gain elevated privileges by exploiting a setuid program in IBM Spectrum Scale via crafted command-line parameters.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"ibm","cpe":[{"product":"general_parallel_file_system","vendor":"ibm"},{"product":"spectrum_scale","vendor":"ibm"}],"cvss":{"score":7,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-264","name":null}],"description":"IBM Spectrum Scale 4.1.1.x before 4.1.1.8 and 4.2.x before 4.2.0.4 and General Parallel File System (GPFS) 3.5.x before 3.5.0.32 and 4.1.x before 4.1.1.8 allow local users to gain privileges via crafted command-line parameters to a /usr/lpp/mmfs/bin/ setuid program.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-2984","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"ibm:spectrum_scale","products":["ibm:spectrum_scale"],"type":"privilege_escalation","year":"2016"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-2985"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Information disclosure in Tealeaf Customer Experience","id":"CVE-2016-2983"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2016-11-25","related":[{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Auth bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2015-0198","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2015-03-24"},{"cvss_score":7.4,"headline":"Privilege escalation in Spectrum Scale","id":"CVE-2018-1431","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2018-06-13"},{"cvss_score":7.2,"headline":"Memory corruption in Spectrum Scale","id":"CVE-2016-6115","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-02-01"},{"cvss_score":7.2,"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2015-4974","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2015-10-26"},{"cvss_score":7.2,"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2015-0197","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2015-03-24"},{"cvss_score":7,"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-2985","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2016-11-25"}],"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":"Local attackers can gain elevated privileges by exploiting a setuid program in IBM Spectrum Scale via crafted command-line parameters.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-2984/"}
