It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2016-9642 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: n/a. 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-2016-9642/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-9642/index.md)","id":"CVE-2016-9642","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-9642/index.md","name":"CVE-2016-9642","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-v9jj-hfg8-mx43","UBUNTU-CVE-2016-9642"],"analysis":{"component_type":"browser","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"WebKit JavaScriptCore","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can cause a denial of service via out-of-bounds heap read in WebKit's JavaScriptCore engine using a crafted JavaScript file.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"memory_corruption"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"webkit","vendor":"webkit"}],"cvss":{"score":5.5,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/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":"JavaScriptCore in WebKit allows attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds heap read) via a crafted Javascript file.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-9642","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"memory_corruption","year":"2016"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":4,"next":{"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-9643"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Salt allows deleted minions to read or write to minions with the same id","id":"CVE-2016-9639"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2017-02-03","related":[{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-9643","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-03-07"},{"cvss_score":5,"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2009-3933","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2009-11-12"},{"cvss_score":5,"headline":"Information disclosure in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-6059","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2009-02-05"}],"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":"Attackers can cause a denial of service via out-of-bounds heap read in WebKit's JavaScriptCore engine using a crafted JavaScript file.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-9642/"}
