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-2016-5992 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: n/a. 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-2016-5992/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-5992/index.md)","id":"CVE-2016-5992","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-5992/index.md","name":"CVE-2016-5992","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-rwwr-2w57-v9q5"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"IBM Sterling Connect:Direct","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Local users can cause a denial of service in IBM Sterling Connect:Direct on Windows via unspecified vectors.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"denial_of_service"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"ibm","cpe":[{"product":"sterling_connect\\","vendor":"ibm"}],"cvss":{"score":2.5,"severity":"low","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[],"description":"IBM Sterling Connect:Direct 4.5.00, 4.5.01, 4.6.0 before 4.6.0.6 iFix008, and 4.7.0 before 4.7.0.4 on Windows allows local users to cause a denial of service via unspecified vectors.","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":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-5992","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"denial_of_service","year":"2016"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":3,"next":{"headline":"Path traversal in InfoSphere Information Server","id":"CVE-2016-5994"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-5991"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2016-11-25","related":[{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"IBM Connect:Express for UNIX denial of service","id":"CVE-2023-32331","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-03-04"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Memory corruption in Sterling Connect Direct for Microsoft Windows","id":"CVE-2020-4767","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-10-28"},{"cvss_score":7.2,"headline":"IBM Sterling Connect:Direct for UNIX command execution","id":"CVE-2025-36137","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-10-30"},{"cvss_score":6.7,"headline":"Privilege escalation in Sterling Connect:Direct for UNIX","id":"CVE-2018-1903","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-04-10"},{"cvss_score":6.5,"headline":"IBM Sterling Connect:Express for UNIX server-side request forgery","id":"CVE-2023-29260","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-07-19"},{"cvss_score":6.3,"headline":"Multiple vulnerabilities were addressed in IBM Sterling Connect:Express for UNIX.","id":"CVE-2025-36063","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-01-20"},{"cvss_score":6.3,"headline":"Multiple vulnerabilities were addressed in IBM Sterling Connect:Express for UNIX.","id":"CVE-2025-36065","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-01-20"}],"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":"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 users can cause a denial of service in IBM Sterling Connect:Direct on Windows via unspecified vectors.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-5992/"}
