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-2016-8689 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Libarchive Libarchive. 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-2016-8689/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-8689/index.md)","id":"CVE-2016-8689","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-8689/index.md","name":"CVE-2016-8689","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2016-8689","GHSA-55v8-px3p-89m5","UBUNTU-CVE-2016-8689"],"analysis":{"component_type":"library","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"libarchive library","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can cause a denial of service via out-of-bounds read in libarchive when processing malicious 7zip archives.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"denial_of_service"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"libarchive","vendor":"libarchive"},{"product":"leap","vendor":"opensuse"}],"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-125","name":"Out-of-bounds Read"}],"description":"The read_Header function in archive_read_support_format_7zip.c in libarchive 3.2.1 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read) via multiple EmptyStream attributes in a header in a 7zip archive.","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":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-8689","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"libarchive:libarchive","products":["libarchive:libarchive","opensuse:leap"],"type":"denial_of_service","year":"2016"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":8,"next":{"headline":"Null dereference in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-8690"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-8688"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2017-02-15","related":[{"cvss_score":9.1,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2024-37407","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-06-08"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-1541","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2016-05-07"},{"cvss_score":8.6,"headline":"Integer overflow in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-6250","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2016-09-21"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Libarchive: double free at archive_read_format_rar_seek_data() in archive_read_support_format_rar.c","id":"CVE-2025-5914","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-06-09"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2024-48957","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-10-10"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2024-48958","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-10-10"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Integer overflow in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-4300","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2016-09-21"}],"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":["n/a"]},"summary":"Remote attackers can cause a denial of service via out-of-bounds read in libarchive when processing malicious 7zip archives.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-8689/"}
