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-2016-3371 exists.\n\nAffected product: Microsoft Windows 10. 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-2016-3371/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-3371/index.md)","id":"CVE-2016-3371","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-3371/index.md","name":"CVE-2016-3371","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-xvg8-8xmq-7xcx"],"analysis":{"component_type":"operating_system","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["data_read","privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Windows Kernel","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Local attackers can exploit improper kernel permission enforcement to obtain sensitive information and potentially escalate privileges.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"information_disclosure"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"microsoft","cpe":[{"product":"windows_10","vendor":"microsoft"},{"product":"windows_7","vendor":"microsoft"},{"product":"windows_8.1","vendor":"microsoft"},{"product":"windows_rt_8.1","vendor":"microsoft"},{"product":"windows_server_2008","vendor":"microsoft"},{"product":"windows_server_2012","vendor":"microsoft"},{"product":"windows_vista","vendor":"microsoft"}],"cvss":{"score":5.5,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-200","name":"Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor"}],"description":"The kernel API in Microsoft Windows Vista SP2, Windows Server 2008 SP2 and R2 SP1, Windows 7 SP1, Windows 8.1, Windows Server 2012 Gold and R2, Windows RT 8.1, and Windows 10 Gold, 1511, and 1607 does not properly enforce permissions, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information via a crafted application, aka \"Windows Kernel Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability.\"","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":1,"first_seen":"2016-09-26","github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2016-09-26","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"40429","stars":null,"title":"Microsoft Windows 8.1 Update 2 / 10 10586 (x86/x64) - NtLoadKeyEx User Hive Attachment Point Privilege Escalation (MS16-111)"}],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Information disclosure in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-3371","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"microsoft:windows_10","products":["microsoft:windows_10","microsoft:windows_7","microsoft:windows_8.1","microsoft:windows_rt_8.1","microsoft:windows_server_2008","microsoft:windows_server_2012","microsoft:windows_vista"],"type":"information_disclosure","year":"2016"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":4,"next":{"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-3372"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Information disclosure in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-3370"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2016-09-14","related":[{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Microsoft Windows Adobe Type Manager Library Remote Code Execution","id":"CVE-2015-2426","kev_date_added":"2022-03-28","published":"2015-07-20"},{"cvss_score":6.6,"headline":"Microsoft Windows Mount Manager Privilege Escalation","id":"CVE-2015-1769","kev_date_added":"2022-05-25","published":"2015-08-15"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Windows Hard Link Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2020-1467","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-08-17"},{"cvss_score":9.9,"headline":"Windows TCP/IP Remote Code Execution Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2021-26424","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-08-12"},{"cvss_score":9.9,"headline":"Windows Hyper-V Remote Code Execution Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2021-28476","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-05-11"},{"cvss_score":9.9,"headline":"Windows Hyper-V Remote Code Execution Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2021-26867","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-03-11"},{"cvss_score":9.9,"headline":"Security feature bypass in Windows","id":"CVE-2019-1384","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-11-12"}],"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":"Local attackers can exploit improper kernel permission enforcement to obtain sensitive information and potentially escalate privileges.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-3371/"}
