An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2016-8875 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Foxitsoftware Phantompdf. 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-2016-8875/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-8875/index.md)","id":"CVE-2016-8875","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-8875/index.md","name":"CVE-2016-8875","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-22hq-4pp4-cw6m"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":true,"product_category":"PDF reader","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can cause a denial of service via a crafted TIFF image in Foxit Reader when the gflags app is enabled.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"denial_of_service"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"phantompdf","vendor":"foxitsoftware"},{"product":"reader","vendor":"foxitsoftware"}],"cvss":{"score":5.3,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-125","name":"Out-of-bounds Read"}],"description":"The ConvertToPDF plugin in Foxit Reader and PhantomPDF before 8.1 on Windows, when the gflags app is enabled, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read and application crash) via a crafted TIFF image, aka \"Data from Faulting Address is used as one or more arguments in a subsequent Function Call starting at ConvertToPDF_x86!CreateFXPDFConvertor.\"","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-2016-8875","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"foxitsoftware:phantompdf","products":["foxitsoftware:phantompdf","foxitsoftware:reader"],"type":"denial_of_service","year":"2016"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-8876"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Information disclosure in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-8871"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2016-10-31","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"An issue was discovered in Foxit PhantomPDF before 8.3.6.","id":"CVE-2018-21242","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-06-04"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"File upload in n/a","id":"CVE-2018-21244","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-06-04"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2019-20825","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-06-04"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2019-20827","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-06-04"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2019-20830","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-06-04"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Hardcoded credentials in n/a","id":"CVE-2020-13804","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-06-04"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Security feature bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2020-13805","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-06-04"}],"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 a crafted TIFF image in Foxit Reader when the gflags app is enabled.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-8875/"}
