It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2016-5995 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Ibm Db2. 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-2016-5995/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-5995/index.md)","id":"CVE-2016-5995","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-5995/index.md","name":"CVE-2016-5995","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-pv3f-5cc6-gvwc"],"analysis":{"component_type":"database","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"IBM DB2 database","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Local attackers can gain privileges by placing a malicious library in the search path of setuid programs in IBM DB2.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"ibm","cpe":[{"product":"db2","vendor":"ibm"},{"product":"db2_connect","vendor":"ibm"}],"cvss":{"score":7.3,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-264","name":null}],"description":"Untrusted search path vulnerability in IBM DB2 9.7 through FP11, 10.1 through FP5, 10.5 before FP8, and 11.1 GA on Linux, AIX, and HP-UX allows local users to gain privileges via a Trojan horse library that is accessed by a setuid or setgid program.","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":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-5995","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"ibm:db2","products":["ibm:db2"],"type":"privilege_escalation","year":"2016"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":7,"next":{"headline":"Weak cryptography in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-5996"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Path traversal in InfoSphere Information Server","id":"CVE-2016-5994"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2016-10-01","related":[{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"IBM DB2 9.5 uses world-writable permissions for nodes.reg, which has unspecified impact and attack vectors.","id":"CVE-2012-1797","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2012-03-20"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2010-3731","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2010-10-05"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Other in n/a","id":"CVE-2010-3193","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2010-08-31"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Other in n/a","id":"CVE-2009-4335","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2009-12-16"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Missing authorization in n/a","id":"CVE-2009-3473","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2009-09-29"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-6820","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2009-06-03"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-6821","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2009-06-03"}],"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 gain privileges by placing a malicious library in the search path of setuid programs in IBM DB2.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-5995/"}
