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-2016-8637 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: The Dracut Project dracut. 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-2016-8637/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-8637/index.md)","id":"CVE-2016-8637","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-8637/index.md","name":"CVE-2016-8637","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2016-8637","GHSA-wf9g-696p-j466","MGASA-2016-0387","SUSE-SU-2017:0641-1","SUSE-SU-2017:0951-1","SUSE-SU-2017:2696-1","UBUNTU-CVE-2016-8637"],"analysis":{"component_type":"operating_system","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_read"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":true,"product_category":"Linux initramfs generator","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Local attackers can read sensitive data like encryption keys from initramfs images if early cpio is enabled, due to world-readable permissions.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"information_disclosure"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"redhat","cpe":[{"product":"dracut","vendor":"dracut_project"}],"cvss":{"score":5,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-200","name":"Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor"},{"id":"CWE-732","name":"Incorrect Permission Assignment for Critical Resource"}],"description":"A local information disclosure issue was found in dracut before 045 when generating initramfs images with world-readable permissions when 'early cpio' is used, such as when including microcode updates.
