An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim."},"fix_prompt":"Check this codebase for CVE-2016-6437 and fix it if it is affected.\n\nWhat it is: CVE-2016-6437 is a medium-severity denial of service vulnerability in Cisco Wide Area Application Services (WAAS) before 5.3(5g)1 and 6.x before 6.2(2.32), published on 27 Oct 2016. 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-2016-6437 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Cisco Wide Area Application Services (WAAS) before 5.3(5g)1 and 6.x before 6.2(2.32). 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-2016-6437/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-6437/index.md)","id":"CVE-2016-6437","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-6437/index.md","name":"CVE-2016-6437","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-mpwr-fprg-72gv"],"analysis":{"component_type":"network_device","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Cisco WAAS","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Unauthenticated remote attackers can cause denial of service in Cisco WAAS by exhausting disk space via SSL session cache management.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"denial_of_service"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"cisco","cpe":[{"product":"wide_area_application_services","vendor":"cisco"}],"cvss":{"score":5.9,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-399","name":null}],"description":"A vulnerability in the SSL session cache management of Cisco Wide Area Application Services (WAAS) could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to cause a denial of service (DoS) condition due to high consumption of disk space.
