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-2016-8620 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Haxx Curl. 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-2016-8620/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-8620/index.md)","id":"CVE-2016-8620","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-8620/index.md","name":"CVE-2016-8620","record":{"aliases":["ALPINE-CVE-2016-8620","CLEANSTART-2026-ER53347","CURL-CVE-2016-8620","DEBIAN-CVE-2016-8620","GHSA-rrg6-wpjx-p5jf","UBUNTU-CVE-2016-8620"],"analysis":{"component_type":"library","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["denial_of_service","data_read"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":true,"product_category":"curl library","requires_auth":"none","summary":"An integer overflow in curl's globbing feature allows attackers to cause out-of-bounds reads, potentially leading to crashes or information disclosure.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"integer_overflow"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"redhat","cpe":[{"product":"curl","vendor":"haxx"}],"cvss":{"score":6.5,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:N","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-190","name":"Integer Overflow or Wraparound"},{"id":"CWE-125","name":"Out-of-bounds Read"},{"id":"CWE-120","name":"Buffer Copy without Checking Size of Input"}],"description":"The 'globbing' feature in curl before version 7.51.0 has a flaw that leads to integer overflow and out-of-bounds read via user controlled input.","ecosystems":[],"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":"Integer overflow in curl","id":"CVE-2016-8620","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"haxx:curl","products":["haxx:curl"],"type":"integer_overflow","year":"2016"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":8,"next":{"headline":"Memory corruption in curl","id":"CVE-2016-8621"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Use after free in curl","id":"CVE-2016-8619"},"products":["curl"],"published":"2018-08-01","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Negotiate ambient user conn reuse","id":"CVE-2026-19931","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-09-06"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"HTTP/2 stream-dependency tree UAF","id":"CVE-2026-10536","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-07-03"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"cross-origin Digest auth state leak","id":"CVE-2026-11856","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-07-03"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"SASL double-free","id":"CVE-2026-8925","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-07-03"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"stale proxy password leak","id":"CVE-2026-9079","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-07-03"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Code injection in curl","id":"CVE-2016-4606","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-02-21"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Information disclosure in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-9953","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2018-03-12"}],"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":"yes","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-04-15","vendors":["The Curl Project"]},"summary":"An integer overflow in curl's globbing feature allows attackers to cause out-of-bounds reads, potentially leading to crashes or information disclosure.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-8620/"}
