An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim."},"fix_prompt":"Check this codebase for CVE-2016-8209 and fix it if it is affected.\n\nWhat it is: CVE-2016-8209 is a high-severity denial of service vulnerability in NetIron XMR/MLX and Brocade CES/CER on NetIron, published on 8 May 2017. 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-2016-8209 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: NetIron XMR/MLX and Brocade CES/CER on NetIron. 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-2016-8209/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-8209/index.md)","id":"CVE-2016-8209","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-8209/index.md","name":"CVE-2016-8209","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-cv9p-c62c-7f95"],"analysis":{"component_type":"network_device","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Brocade NetIron switch","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can cause a denial of service by continuously scanning port 22, crashing the management module of Brocade NetIron switches.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"denial_of_service"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"brocade","cpe":[{"product":"netiron_cer_series_firmware","vendor":"brocade"},{"product":"netiron_ces_series_firmware","vendor":"brocade"},{"product":"netiron_mlx_series_firmware","vendor":"brocade"},{"product":"netiron_xmr_series_firmware","vendor":"brocade"}],"cvss":{"score":7.5,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-754","name":"Improper Check for Unusual or Exceptional Conditions"}],"description":"Improper checks for unusual or exceptional conditions in Brocade NetIron 05.8.00 and later releases up to and including 06.1.00, when the Management Module is continuously scanned on port 22, may allow attackers to cause a denial of service (crash and reload) of the management module.","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 NetIron XMR/MLX and Brocade CES/CER on NetIron","id":"CVE-2016-8209","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"denial_of_service","year":"2016"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"Path traversal in EMC Data Protection Advisor EMC Data Protection Advisor 6.1.x, EMC Data Protection Advisor 6.2, EMC Data Protection Advisor 6.2.1, EMC Data Protection Advisor 6.2.2, EMC Data Protection Advisor 6.2.3 prior to patch 446","id":"CVE-2016-8211"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Path traversal in Brocade Network Advisor versions released prior to and including 14.0.2","id":"CVE-2016-8207"},"products":["NetIron XMR/MLX and Brocade CES/CER on NetIron"],"published":"2017-05-08","related":[],"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":["Brocade Communications Systems, Inc."]},"summary":"Attackers can cause a denial of service by continuously scanning port 22, crashing the management module of Brocade NetIron switches.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-8209/"}
