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-2016-3672 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-2016-3672/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-3672/index.md)","id":"CVE-2016-3672","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-3672/index.md","name":"CVE-2016-3672","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2016-3672","GHSA-mr57-vcj3-9pgx","UBUNTU-CVE-2016-3672"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["security_bypass"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Local attackers can bypass ASLR protections for setuid programs by disabling stack limits, facilitating exploitation of other vulnerabilities.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"security_feature_bypass"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"ubuntu_linux","vendor":"canonical"},{"product":"linux_kernel","vendor":"linux"},{"product":"suse_linux_enterprise_desktop","vendor":"novell"},{"product":"suse_linux_enterprise_live_patching","vendor":"novell"},{"product":"suse_linux_enterprise_module_for_public_cloud","vendor":"novell"},{"product":"suse_linux_enterprise_real_time_extension","vendor":"novell"},{"product":"suse_linux_enterprise_server","vendor":"novell"},{"product":"suse_linux_enterprise_software_development_kit","vendor":"novell"},{"product":"suse_linux_enterprise_workstation_extension","vendor":"novell"}],"cvss":{"score":7.8,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-254","name":null}],"description":"The arch_pick_mmap_layout function in arch/x86/mm/mmap.c in the Linux kernel through 4.5.2 does not properly randomize the legacy base address, which makes it easier for local users to defeat the intended restrictions on the ADDR_NO_RANDOMIZE flag, and bypass the ASLR protection mechanism for a setuid or setgid program, by disabling stack-consumption resource limits.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":1,"first_seen":"2016-04-06","github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2016-04-06","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"39669","stars":null,"title":"Linux Kernel (x86) - Disable ASLR by Setting the RLIMIT_STACK Resource to Unlimited"}],"tier":"poc_unverified"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"Security feature bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-3672","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"canonical:ubuntu_linux","products":["canonical:ubuntu_linux","linux:linux_kernel","novell:suse_linux_enterprise_desktop","novell:suse_linux_enterprise_server","novell:suse_linux_enterprise_software_development_kit"],"type":"security_feature_bypass","year":"2016"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":28,"next":{"headline":"DO NOT USE THIS CANDIDATE NUMBER.","id":"CVE-2016-3673"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Liferay Portal Vulnerable to XSS in Profile Search Functionality","id":"CVE-2016-3670"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2016-04-27","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"SaltStack Salt Authentication Bypass","id":"CVE-2020-11651","kev_date_added":"2021-11-03","published":"2020-04-30"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"OpenSMTPD Remote Code Execution","id":"CVE-2020-7247","kev_date_added":"2022-03-25","published":"2020-01-29"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Exim Out-of-bounds Write","id":"CVE-2019-16928","kev_date_added":"2022-03-03","published":"2019-09-27"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Exim Buffer Overflow","id":"CVE-2018-6789","kev_date_added":"2021-11-03","published":"2018-02-08"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Oracle Java SE and Java SE Embedded Remote Code Execution","id":"CVE-2015-2590","kev_date_added":"2022-03-03","published":"2015-07-16"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Oracle JRE Remote Code Execution","id":"CVE-2013-0422","kev_date_added":"2022-05-25","published":"2013-01-10"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Oracle Java SE Runtime Environment (JRE) Arbitrary Code Execution","id":"CVE-2011-3544","kev_date_added":"2022-03-03","published":"2011-10-19"}],"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":"2024-08-06","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Local attackers can bypass ASLR protections for setuid programs by disabling stack limits, facilitating exploitation of other vulnerabilities.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-3672/"}
