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-2016-4076 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Wireshark Wireshark. 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-2016-4076/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-4076/index.md)","id":"CVE-2016-4076","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-4076/index.md","name":"CVE-2016-4076","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2016-4076","GHSA-rrp6-4j2r-8qvq","UBUNTU-CVE-2016-4076"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Wireshark network analyzer","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can crash Wireshark via crafted packets due to uninitialized memory in the NCP dissector, requiring an upgrade to fix.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"null_dereference"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"wireshark","vendor":"wireshark"}],"cvss":{"score":5.9,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-284","name":"Improper Access Control"}],"description":"epan/dissectors/packet-ncp2222.inc in the NCP dissector in Wireshark 2.0.x before 2.0.3 does not properly initialize memory for search patterns, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a crafted packet.","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":"Null dereference in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-4076","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"wireshark:wireshark","products":["wireshark:wireshark"],"type":"null_dereference","year":"2016"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":4,"next":{"headline":"Use after free in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-4077"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Open redirect in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-4075"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2016-04-25","related":[{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2011-0444","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2011-01-12"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2010-2994","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2010-08-13"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2010-2995","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2010-08-13"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Other in n/a","id":"CVE-2009-1266","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2009-04-21"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2009-1210","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2009-04-01"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-3146","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2008-09-02"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2007-6112","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2007-11-23"}],"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 crash Wireshark via crafted packets due to uninitialized memory in the NCP dissector, requiring an upgrade to fix.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-4076/"}
