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-2017-16637 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-2017-16637/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-16637/index.md)","id":"CVE-2017-16637","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-16637/index.md","name":"CVE-2017-16637","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-vw8f-v82q-4wv8"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"no_fix_stated","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"VPN client software","requires_auth":"high_privilege","summary":"Local attackers can cause a crash and process corruption in the VPN client by resetting network data while connected, leading to denial of service.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"denial_of_service"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"vpn_manager","vendor":"perfect-privacy"}],"cvss":{"score":4.4,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-20","name":"Improper Input Validation"}],"description":"In Vectura Perfect Privacy VPN Manager v1.10.10 and v1.10.11, when resetting the network data via the software client, with a running VPN connection, a critical error occurs which leads to a \"FrmAdvancedProtection\" crash.

The software client is still attempting to maintain the connection even though the network connection information is being reset live. In that insecure mode, the \"FrmAdvancedProtection\" component crashes, but the process continues to run with different errors and process corruptions.
