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-2016-5408 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Oracle 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-2016-5408/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-5408/index.md)","id":"CVE-2016-5408","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-5408/index.md","name":"CVE-2016-5408","record":{"aliases":["DLA-556-1","GHSA-5f9j-8ghm-9gxx","RHSA-2016:1573"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Squid proxy server","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can execute arbitrary code via a stack-based buffer overflow in the Squid proxy server's cache manager CGI script.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"memory_corruption"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"redhat","cpe":[{"product":"linux","vendor":"oracle"},{"product":"enterprise_linux_server","vendor":"redhat"},{"product":"enterprise_linux_workstation","vendor":"redhat"}],"cvss":{"score":9.8,"severity":"critical","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/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":"Stack-based buffer overflow in the munge_other_line function in cachemgr.cgi in the squid package before 3.1.23-16.el6_8.6 in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via unspecified vectors.
