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-2016-6242 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Openbsd Openbsd. 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-2016-6242/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-6242/index.md)","id":"CVE-2016-6242","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-6242/index.md","name":"CVE-2016-6242","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-jf6q-68vq-p2q4"],"analysis":{"component_type":"operating_system","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"OpenBSD kernel","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Local attackers can cause a kernel panic and denial of service in OpenBSD by passing a large ident value to the kevent system call.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"denial_of_service"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"openbsd","vendor":"openbsd"}],"cvss":{"score":5.5,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-189","name":null}],"description":"OpenBSD 5.8 and 5.9 allows local users to cause a denial of service (assertion failure and kernel panic) via a large ident value in a kevent system call.","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-2016-6242","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"openbsd:openbsd","products":["openbsd:openbsd"],"type":"denial_of_service","year":"2016"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":5,"next":{"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-6243"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Integer overflow in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-6241"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2017-03-07","related":[{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2007-1365","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2007-03-10"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Integer overflow in n/a","id":"CVE-2004-0220","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2004-03-25"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2004-0083","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2004-02-14"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2004-0084","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2004-02-14"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2001-0284","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2001-05-07"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2000-1010","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2001-01-22"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Auth bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2020-16088","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-07-28"}],"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 cause a kernel panic and denial of service in OpenBSD by passing a large ident value to the kevent system call.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-6242/"}
