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-2016-6254 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Debian Debian Linux. 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-2016-6254/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-6254/index.md)","id":"CVE-2016-6254","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-6254/index.md","name":"CVE-2016-6254","record":{"aliases":["ALPINE-CVE-2016-6254","CLEANSTART-2024-KC01798","DEBIAN-CVE-2016-6254","DLA-575-1","DSA-3636-1","GHSA-w8rr-j32h-prm7","SUSE-SU-2016:2187-1","UBUNTU-CVE-2016-6254","openSUSE-SU-2024:10462-1"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["denial_of_service","code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"collectd monitoring daemon","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary code via a crafted network packet in the collectd monitoring daemon.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"memory_corruption"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"collectd","vendor":"collectd"},{"product":"debian_linux","vendor":"debian"},{"product":"fedora","vendor":"fedoraproject"}],"cvss":{"score":9.1,"severity":"critical","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:H","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-119","name":"Improper Restriction of Operations within the Bounds of a Memory Buffer"}],"description":"Heap-based buffer overflow in the parse_packet function in network.c in collectd before 5.4.3 and 5.x before 5.5.2 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (daemon crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted network packet.","ecosystems":["SUSE:Lifecycle Management Server 1.3","SUSE:WebYast 1.3"],"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":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-6254","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"debian:debian_linux","products":["debian:debian_linux","fedoraproject:fedora"],"type":"memory_corruption","year":"2016"},"n_packages":2,"n_references":5,"next":{"headline":"Path traversal in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-6255"},"packages":[{"ecosystem":"SUSE:Lifecycle Management Server 1.3","fixed":["4.9.4-0.25.1"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"collectd","purl":"pkg:rpm/suse/collectd\u0026distro=SUSE%20Lifecycle%20Management%20Server%201.3","source":"SUSE-SU-2016:2187-1"},{"ecosystem":"SUSE:WebYast 1.3","fixed":["4.9.4-0.25.1"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"collectd","purl":"pkg:rpm/suse/collectd\u0026distro=SUSE%20WebYast%201.3","source":"SUSE-SU-2016:2187-1"}],"prev":{"headline":"Path traversal in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-6253"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2016-08-19","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Use after free in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-16820","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-11-14"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-7401","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-04-03"},{"cvss_score":5.5,"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-18240","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2018-03-19"},{"cvss_score":5,"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2010-4336","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2010-12-17"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CC BY 4.0","name":"SUSE","prefix":"SUSE"},{"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 or execute arbitrary code via a crafted network packet in the collectd monitoring daemon.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-6254/"}
