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-2017-16549 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-2017-16549/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-16549/index.md)","id":"CVE-2017-16549","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-16549/index.md","name":"CVE-2017-16549","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-qj28-4v7j-mpw3"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["privilege_escalation","code_execution"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"K7 Antivirus Premium","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Local attackers can exploit arbitrary memory writes via IOCTL calls to gain elevated privileges on systems running K7 Antivirus Premium.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"memory_corruption"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"antivirus","vendor":"k7computing"},{"product":"endpoint","vendor":"k7computing"},{"product":"internet_security","vendor":"k7computing"},{"product":"total_security","vendor":"k7computing"},{"product":"ultimate_security","vendor":"k7computing"}],"cvss":{"score":7.8,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-787","name":"Out-of-bounds Write"}],"description":"K7 Antivirus Premium before 15.1.0.53 allows local users to write to arbitrary memory locations, and consequently gain privileges, via a specific set of IOCTL calls.","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":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-16549","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"memory_corruption","year":"2017"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-16550"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-16548"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2018-01-16","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Null dereference in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-17699","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-12-15"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Null dereference in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-17700","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-12-15"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Null dereference in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-17701","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-12-15"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Null dereference in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-17464","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-12-08"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Null dereference in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-17465","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-12-08"},{"cvss_score":9.3,"headline":"Security feature bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-5533","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2008-12-12"}],"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":"2024-08-05","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Local attackers can exploit arbitrary memory writes via IOCTL calls to gain elevated privileges on systems running K7 Antivirus Premium.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-16549/"}
