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-2016-4331 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Hdfgroup Hdf5. 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-2016-4331/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-4331/index.md)","id":"CVE-2016-4331","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-4331/index.md","name":"CVE-2016-4331","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2016-4331","GHSA-4hhr-jhmc-r3cj","UBUNTU-CVE-2016-4331"],"analysis":{"component_type":"library","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"HDF5 library","requires_auth":"none","summary":"A memory corruption vulnerability in the HDF5 library allows arbitrary code execution when decoding NBIT-encoded datasets.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"memory_corruption"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"certcc","cpe":[{"product":"hdf5","vendor":"hdfgroup"}],"cvss":{"score":8.6,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-787","name":"Out-of-bounds Write"}],"description":"When decoding data out of a dataset encoded with the H5Z_NBIT decoding, the HDF5 1.8.16 library will fail to ensure that the precision is within the bounds of the size leading to arbitrary code execution.","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-2016-4331","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"hdfgroup:hdf5","products":["hdfgroup:hdf5"],"type":"memory_corruption","year":"2016"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":4,"next":{"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-4332"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-4330"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2016-11-18","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2024-32608","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-10-09"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2024-29157","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-05-09"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2024-29159","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-05-09"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2024-29164","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-05-09"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Other in n/a","id":"CVE-2024-32611","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-05-09"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2024-32615","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-05-09"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2024-32621","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-05-09"}],"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":"A memory corruption vulnerability in the HDF5 library allows arbitrary code execution when decoding NBIT-encoded datasets.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-4331/"}
