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-2016-6172 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Opensuse Leap. 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-2016-6172/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-6172/index.md)","id":"CVE-2016-6172","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-6172/index.md","name":"CVE-2016-6172","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2016-6172","GHSA-fr33-w8fm-p45j","UBUNTU-CVE-2016-6172"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"PowerDNS Authoritative Server","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote primary DNS servers can cause denial of service in PowerDNS Authoritative Server via large AXFR or IXFR responses, exhausting memory and crashing the secondary server.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"denial_of_service"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"redhat","cpe":[{"product":"leap","vendor":"opensuse"},{"product":"opensuse","vendor":"opensuse"},{"product":"authoritative_server","vendor":"powerdns"}],"cvss":{"score":6.8,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:N/I:N/A:H","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-400","name":"Uncontrolled Resource Consumption"}],"description":"PowerDNS (aka pdns) Authoritative Server before 4.0.1 allows remote primary DNS servers to cause a denial of service (memory exhaustion and secondary DNS server crash) via a large (1) AXFR or (2) IXFR response.","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":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-6172","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"opensuse:leap","products":["opensuse:leap","opensuse:opensuse"],"type":"denial_of_service","year":"2016"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":11,"next":{"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-6173"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-6171"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2016-09-26","related":[{"cvss_score":5.3,"headline":"Oracle Java SE Integrity Check","id":"CVE-2015-4902","kev_date_added":"2022-03-03","published":"2015-10-21"},{"cvss_score":9.9,"headline":"package builds could use directory traversal to write outside of target area","id":"CVE-2017-14804","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2018-03-01"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Teeworlds before 0.7.4 has an integer overflow when computing a tilemap size.","id":"CVE-2019-20787","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-04-22"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Code injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2019-8341","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-02-15"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Other in n/a","id":"CVE-2019-6438","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-01-31"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-18215","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2018-03-05"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-6542","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-03-27"}],"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 primary DNS servers can cause denial of service in PowerDNS Authoritative Server via large AXFR or IXFR responses, exhausting memory and crashing the secondary server.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-6172/"}
