An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2016-5844 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Libarchive Libarchive. 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-2016-5844/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-5844/index.md)","id":"CVE-2016-5844","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-5844/index.md","name":"CVE-2016-5844","record":{"aliases":["ALPINE-CVE-2016-5844","DEBIAN-CVE-2016-5844","GHSA-x263-jxrf-c484","UBUNTU-CVE-2016-5844"],"analysis":{"component_type":"library","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"libarchive","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can cause a denial of service via a crafted ISO file due to an integer overflow in the libarchive ISO parser.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"integer_overflow"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"libarchive","vendor":"libarchive"},{"product":"linux","vendor":"oracle"},{"product":"solaris","vendor":"oracle"},{"product":"enterprise_linux_desktop","vendor":"redhat"},{"product":"enterprise_linux_hpc_node","vendor":"redhat"},{"product":"enterprise_linux_hpc_node_eus","vendor":"redhat"},{"product":"enterprise_linux_server","vendor":"redhat"},{"product":"enterprise_linux_server_aus","vendor":"redhat"},{"product":"enterprise_linux_server_eus","vendor":"redhat"},{"product":"enterprise_linux_workstation","vendor":"redhat"}],"cvss":{"score":6.5,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-190","name":"Integer Overflow or Wraparound"}],"description":"Integer overflow in the ISO parser in libarchive before 3.2.1 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a crafted ISO file.","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":"Integer overflow in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-5844","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"libarchive:libarchive","products":["libarchive:libarchive","oracle:linux","oracle:solaris","redhat:enterprise_linux_desktop","redhat:enterprise_linux_hpc_node","redhat:enterprise_linux_hpc_node_eus","redhat:enterprise_linux_server","redhat:enterprise_linux_server_aus","redhat:enterprise_linux_server_eus","redhat:enterprise_linux_workstation"],"type":"integer_overflow","year":"2016"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":14,"next":{"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-5845"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"SQL injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-5843"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2016-09-21","related":[{"cvss_score":9.1,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2024-37407","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-06-08"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-1541","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2016-05-07"},{"cvss_score":8.6,"headline":"Integer overflow in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-6250","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2016-09-21"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Libarchive: double free at archive_read_format_rar_seek_data() in archive_read_support_format_rar.c","id":"CVE-2025-5914","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-06-09"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2024-48957","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-10-10"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2024-48958","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-10-10"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Integer overflow in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-4300","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2016-09-21"}],"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 cause a denial of service via a crafted ISO file due to an integer overflow in the libarchive ISO parser.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-5844/"}
