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-2016-4705 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Apple Xcode. 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-2016-4705/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-4705/index.md)","id":"CVE-2016-4705","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-4705/index.md","name":"CVE-2016-4705","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-4c7c-hrw4-4546"],"analysis":{"component_type":"developer_tool","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["privilege_escalation","denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Apple Xcode otool","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Local attackers can exploit memory corruption in Apple Xcode's otool to gain privileges or cause a denial of service.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"memory_corruption"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"apple","cpe":[{"product":"xcode","vendor":"apple"}],"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-119","name":"Improper Restriction of Operations within the Bounds of a Memory Buffer"}],"description":"otool in Apple Xcode before 8 allows local users to gain privileges or cause a denial of service (memory corruption and application crash) via unspecified vectors, a different vulnerability than CVE-2016-4704.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-4705","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"apple:xcode","products":["apple:xcode"],"type":"memory_corruption","year":"2016"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":4,"next":{"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-4706"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-4704"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2016-09-18","related":[{"cvss_score":8.1,"headline":"Git Link Following","id":"CVE-2025-48384","kev_date_added":"2025-08-25","published":"2025-07-08"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"JGit Improper Input Validation vulnerability","id":"CVE-2014-9390","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-02-12"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Deserialization of untrusted data in FasterXML jackson-databind","id":"CVE-2019-14379","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-07-29"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"An issue was discovered in certain Apple products.","id":"CVE-2018-4164","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2018-04-03"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Use after free in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-0746","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2016-02-15"},{"cvss_score":9.3,"headline":"Missing authorization in n/a","id":"CVE-2004-2687","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2007-09-23"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"This issue was addressed by enforcing library validation on the affected binaries.","id":"CVE-2026-86948","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-10-20"}],"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":"Local attackers can exploit memory corruption in Apple Xcode's otool to gain privileges or cause a denial of service.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-4705/"}
