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-2016-9167 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Novell Edirectory. 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-2016-9167/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-9167/index.md)","id":"CVE-2016-9167","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-9167/index.md","name":"CVE-2016-9167","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-wqm7-3p5m-h5g8"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["privilege_escalation","data_modify"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Novell eDirectory","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Novell eDirectory allows privilege escalation via incorrect ACL calculation across partition boundaries, enabling unauthorized modification of user attributes.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"microfocus","cpe":[{"product":"edirectory","vendor":"novell"}],"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:H/A:N","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-264","name":null}],"description":"NDSD in Novell eDirectory before 9.0.2 did not calculate ACLs on LDAP objects across partition boundaries correctly, which could lead to a privilege escalation by modifying user attributes that would otherwise be filtered by an ACL.","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 Novell eDirectory","id":"CVE-2016-9167","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"novell:edirectory","products":["novell:edirectory"],"type":"privilege_escalation","year":"2016"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"Security feature bypass in Novell eDirectory","id":"CVE-2016-9168"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Security feature bypass in NetIQ eDirectory","id":"CVE-2016-9166"},"products":["Novell eDirectory"],"published":"2017-03-23","related":[{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Integer overflow in n/a","id":"CVE-2009-0895","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2009-12-03"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-5091","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2008-11-14"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-5092","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2008-11-14"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-5094","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2008-11-14"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Integer overflow in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-4478","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2008-10-14"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-4479","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2008-10-14"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-4480","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2008-10-14"}],"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":"Novell eDirectory allows privilege escalation via incorrect ACL calculation across partition boundaries, enabling unauthorized modification of user attributes.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-9167/"}
