It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link."},"fix_prompt":"Check this codebase for CVE-2017-16711 and fix it if it is affected.\n\nWhat it is: CVE-2017-16711 is a medium-severity vulnerability in Swftools Swftools, published on 9 Nov 2017. 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-2017-16711 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Swftools Swftools. 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-2017-16711/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-16711/index.md)","id":"CVE-2017-16711","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-16711/index.md","name":"CVE-2017-16711","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-q324-vx8w-2xr5","UBUNTU-CVE-2017-16711"],"analysis":{"component_type":"library","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"SWFTools library","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can cause a denial of service via a NULL pointer dereference in SWFTools when processing malformed SWF files.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"null_dereference"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"swftools","vendor":"swftools"}],"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-476","name":"NULL Pointer Dereference"}],"description":"The swf_DefineLosslessBitsTagToImage function in lib/modules/swfbits.c in SWFTools 0.9.2 mishandles an uncompress failure, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and application crash) because of extractDefinitions in lib/readers/swf.c and fill_line_bitmap in lib/devices/render.c, as demonstrated by swfrender.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":false,"headline":"Null dereference in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-16711","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"swftools:swftools","products":["swftools:swftools"],"type":"null_dereference","year":"2017"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"Information disclosure in Thermal Management Center","id":"CVE-2017-16714"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-16710"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2017-11-09","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2022-40008","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-09-20"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Use after free in n/a","id":"CVE-2022-40009","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-09-20"},{"cvss_score":9.3,"headline":"Integer overflow in n/a","id":"CVE-2010-1516","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2010-08-17"},{"cvss_score":9.1,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2024-26339","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-03-05"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2024-25165","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-02-14"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Null dereference in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-11096","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-07-07"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Null dereference in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-11097","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-07-07"}],"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":"Remote attackers can cause a denial of service via a NULL pointer dereference in SWFTools when processing malformed SWF files.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-16711/"}
