It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2016-9093 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Symantec Endpoint Protection. 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-2016-9093/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-9093/index.md)","id":"CVE-2016-9093","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-9093/index.md","name":"CVE-2016-9093","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-x9r7-96pf-frgq"],"analysis":{"component_type":"operating_system","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["privilege_escalation","code_execution"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Endpoint Protection driver","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A local non-admin user can exploit a Symantec Endpoint Protection driver flaw to crash the system or execute arbitrary code with kernel privileges.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"symantec","cpe":[{"product":"endpoint_protection","vendor":"symantec"}],"cvss":{"score":7,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-20","name":"Improper Input Validation"}],"description":"A version of the SymEvent Driver that shipped with Symantec Endpoint Protection 12.1 RU6 MP6 and earlier fails to properly sanitize logged-in user input. SEP 14.0 and later are not impacted by this issue. A non-admin user would need to be able to save an executable file to disk and then be able to successfully run that file. If properly constructed, the file could access the driver interface and potentially manipulate certain system calls. On all 32-bit systems and in most cases on 64-bit systems, this will result in a denial of service that will crash the system. In very narrow circumstances, and on 64-bit systems only, this could allow the user to run arbitrary code on the local machine with kernel-level privileges. This could result in a non-privileged user gaining privileged access on the local machine.","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":"Privilege escalation in Endpoint Protection","id":"CVE-2016-9093","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"symantec:endpoint_protection","products":["symantec:endpoint_protection"],"type":"privilege_escalation","year":"2016"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":3,"next":{"headline":"Code injection in Endpoint Protection","id":"CVE-2016-9094"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Cross-site request forgery in Content Analysis (CA)","id":"CVE-2016-9092"},"products":["Endpoint Protection"],"published":"2018-04-16","related":[{"cvss_score":9.3,"headline":"Code injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2012-0295","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2012-05-23"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Privilege escalation in Symantec Endpoint Protection","id":"CVE-2018-5237","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2018-06-20"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Privilege escalation in Symantec Endpoint Protection","id":"CVE-2020-5836","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-05-11"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Path traversal in Symantec Endpoint Protection","id":"CVE-2020-5837","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-05-11"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Privilege escalation in Symantec Endpoint Protection (SEP) and Symantec Endpoint Protection Small Business Edition (SEP SBE)","id":"CVE-2020-5820","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-02-11"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Code injection in Symantec Endpoint Protection (SEP) and Symantec Endpoint Protection Small Business Edition (SEP SBE)","id":"CVE-2020-5821","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-02-11"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Privilege escalation in Symantec Endpoint Protection (SEP) and Symantec Endpoint Protection Small Business Edition (SEP SBE)","id":"CVE-2020-5822","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-02-11"}],"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":"2024-09-16","vendors":["Symantec Corporation"]},"summary":"A local non-admin user can exploit a Symantec Endpoint Protection driver flaw to crash the system or execute arbitrary code with kernel privileges.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-9093/"}
