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-2016-7244 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Microsoft Office. 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-2016-7244/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-7244/index.md)","id":"CVE-2016-7244","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-7244/index.md","name":"CVE-2016-7244","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-4rpx-hqr3-rp6m"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Microsoft Office","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can cause a denial of service in Microsoft Office 2007 by tricking users into opening a crafted document.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"denial_of_service"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"microsoft","cpe":[{"product":"office","vendor":"microsoft"}],"cvss":{"score":5.5,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-284","name":"Improper Access Control"}],"description":"Microsoft Office 2007 SP3 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application hang) via a crafted Office document, aka \"Microsoft Office Denial of Service Vulnerability.\"","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-2016-7244","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"microsoft:office","products":["microsoft:office"],"type":"denial_of_service","year":"2016"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":3,"next":{"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-7245"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"ChakraCore RCE Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2016-7243"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2016-11-10","related":[{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Microsoft Office Memory Corruption","id":"CVE-2018-0798","kev_date_added":"2021-11-03","published":"2018-01-10"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Microsoft Office Uninitialized Memory Use","id":"CVE-2015-1770","kev_date_added":"2022-03-28","published":"2015-06-10"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Microsoft Word Malformed Object Pointer","id":"CVE-2006-2492","kev_date_added":"2022-06-08","published":"2006-05-20"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Microsoft Office Memory Corruption","id":"CVE-2018-0802","kev_date_added":"2021-11-03","published":"2018-01-10"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Microsoft Office Memory Corruption","id":"CVE-2017-11882","kev_date_added":"2021-11-03","published":"2017-11-15"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Microsoft Office Remote Code Execution","id":"CVE-2017-8570","kev_date_added":"2022-02-25","published":"2017-07-11"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Microsoft Office Use-After-Free","id":"CVE-2017-0261","kev_date_added":"2022-03-03","published":"2017-05-12"}],"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":"no","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-10-15","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Remote attackers can cause a denial of service in Microsoft Office 2007 by tricking users into opening a crafted document.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-7244/"}
