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: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2016-3991 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Libtiff Libtiff. 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-2016-3991/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-3991/index.md)","id":"CVE-2016-3991","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-3991/index.md","name":"CVE-2016-3991","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2016-3991","GHSA-58qw-mp64-h579","UBUNTU-CVE-2016-3991"],"analysis":{"component_type":"library","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution","denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"LibTIFF image library","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can execute arbitrary code or cause denial of service via crafted TIFF images in LibTIFF's tiffcrop tool.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"memory_corruption"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"libtiff","vendor":"libtiff"},{"product":"vm_server","vendor":"oracle"}],"cvss":{"score":7.8,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-787","name":"Out-of-bounds Write"},{"id":"CWE-119","name":"Improper Restriction of Operations within the Bounds of a Memory Buffer"}],"description":"Heap-based buffer overflow in the loadImage function in the tiffcrop tool in LibTIFF 4.0.6 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds write) or execute arbitrary code via a crafted TIFF image with zero tiles.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-3991","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"libtiff:libtiff","products":["libtiff:libtiff"],"type":"memory_corruption","year":"2016"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":11,"next":{"headline":"Path traversal in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-3992"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-3990"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2016-09-21","related":[{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Integer overflow in n/a","id":"CVE-2004-1308","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2004-12-22"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2004-0929","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2004-10-26"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2025-61144","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-02-23"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-9533","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2016-11-22"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-9534","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2016-11-22"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-9535","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2016-11-22"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-9536","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2016-11-22"}],"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":"2024-08-06","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Remote attackers can execute arbitrary code or cause denial of service via crafted TIFF images in LibTIFF's tiffcrop tool.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-3991/"}
