Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2016-8971 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Ibm Websphere Mq. 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-2016-8971/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-8971/index.md)","id":"CVE-2016-8971","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-8971/index.md","name":"CVE-2016-8971","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-8w7q-8ccf-54c9"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"IBM WebSphere MQ","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"An authenticated user with queue manager permissions can trigger a segmentation fault, causing a denial of service that requires a system reboot.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"denial_of_service"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"ibm","cpe":[{"product":"websphere_mq","vendor":"ibm"}],"cvss":{"score":6.5,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-119","name":"Improper Restriction of Operations within the Bounds of a Memory Buffer"}],"description":"IBM WebSphere MQ 8.0 could allow an authenticated user with queue manager permissions to cause a segmentation fault which would result in the box having to be rebooted to resume normal operations.
