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-2016-5759 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Novell Suse Linux Enterprise Desktop. 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-2016-5759/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-5759/index.md)","id":"CVE-2016-5759","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-5759/index.md","name":"CVE-2016-5759","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-wp6g-h882-vcw2","SUSE-SU-2016:2553-1","openSUSE-SU-2024:10892-1"],"analysis":{"component_type":"operating_system","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution","privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"SUSE Linux","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Local attackers can trick administrators into executing malicious code as root by exploiting insecure script execution paths in the mkdumprd utility.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"path_traversal"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"microfocus","cpe":[{"product":"suse_linux_enterprise_desktop","vendor":"novell"},{"product":"suse_linux_enterprise_server","vendor":"novell"},{"product":"leap","vendor":"opensuse"}],"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-20","name":"Improper Input Validation"}],"description":"The mkdumprd script called \"dracut\" in the current working directory \".\" allows local users to trick the administrator into executing code as root.","ecosystems":["SUSE:Linux Enterprise Desktop 12 SP1","SUSE:Linux Enterprise Server 12 SP1","SUSE:Linux Enterprise Server for SAP Applications 12 SP1","openSUSE:Tumbleweed"],"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":"Path traversal in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-5759","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"novell:suse_linux_enterprise_desktop","products":["novell:suse_linux_enterprise_desktop","novell:suse_linux_enterprise_server","opensuse:leap"],"type":"path_traversal","year":"2016"},"n_packages":4,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-5760"},"packages":[{"ecosystem":"SUSE:Linux Enterprise Desktop 12 SP1","fixed":["0.8.15-29.1"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"kdump","purl":"pkg:rpm/suse/kdump\u0026distro=SUSE%20Linux%20Enterprise%20Desktop%2012%20SP1","source":"SUSE-SU-2016:2553-1"},{"ecosystem":"SUSE:Linux Enterprise Server 12 SP1","fixed":["0.8.15-29.1"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"kdump","purl":"pkg:rpm/suse/kdump\u0026distro=SUSE%20Linux%20Enterprise%20Server%2012%20SP1","source":"SUSE-SU-2016:2553-1"},{"ecosystem":"SUSE:Linux Enterprise Server for SAP Applications 12 SP1","fixed":["0.8.15-29.1"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"kdump","purl":"pkg:rpm/suse/kdump\u0026distro=SUSE%20Linux%20Enterprise%20Server%20for%20SAP%20Applications%2012%20SP1","source":"SUSE-SU-2016:2553-1"},{"ecosystem":"openSUSE:Tumbleweed","fixed":["0.9.1-3.2"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"kdump","purl":"pkg:rpm/opensuse/kdump\u0026distro=openSUSE%20Tumbleweed","source":"openSUSE-SU-2024:10892-1"}],"prev":{"headline":"Cross-site request forgery in NetIQ Access Manager","id":"CVE-2016-5758"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2017-09-08","related":[{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2015-0459","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2015-04-16"},{"cvss_score":9.3,"headline":"Other in n/a","id":"CVE-2015-0437","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2015-01-21"},{"cvss_score":7.6,"headline":"Other in n/a","id":"CVE-2015-0458","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2015-04-16"},{"cvss_score":6.9,"headline":"Other in n/a","id":"CVE-2015-0403","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2015-01-21"},{"cvss_score":6.9,"headline":"Other in n/a","id":"CVE-2015-0421","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2015-01-21"},{"cvss_score":5.8,"headline":"Other in n/a","id":"CVE-2015-0406","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2015-01-21"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CC BY 4.0","name":"SUSE","prefix":"SUSE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CC BY 4.0","name":"SUSE","prefix":"openSUSE"},{"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 trick administrators into executing malicious code as root by exploiting insecure script execution paths in the mkdumprd utility.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-5759/"}
