An attacker needs administrator access to exploit it, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2016-8998 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: IBM Corporation Tivoli Storage Manager. 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-2016-8998/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-8998/index.md)","id":"CVE-2016-8998","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-8998/index.md","name":"CVE-2016-8998","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-48w8-mmwr-cpgc"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"IBM Tivoli Storage Manager","requires_auth":"high_privilege","summary":"An authenticated administrator can trigger a buffer overflow via a crafted SQL query to execute arbitrary code on the server.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"memory_corruption"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"ibm","cpe":[{"product":"tivoli_storage_manager","vendor":"ibm"}],"cvss":{"score":7.2,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-119","name":"Improper Restriction of Operations within the Bounds of a Memory Buffer"}],"description":"IBM Tivoli Storage Manager Server 7.1 could allow an authenticated user with TSM administrator privileges to cause a buffer overflow using a specially crafted SQL query and execute arbitrary code on the server.
