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-2017-16898 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Libming Libming. 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-2017-16898/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-16898/index.md)","id":"CVE-2017-16898","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-16898/index.md","name":"CVE-2017-16898","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-7qgm-mc5w-8x5x","UBUNTU-CVE-2017-16898"],"analysis":{"component_type":"library","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"libming library","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can cause a denial of service via a crafted file due to a global buffer overflow in the libming library.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"memory_corruption"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"libming","vendor":"libming"}],"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-119","name":"Improper Restriction of Operations within the Bounds of a Memory Buffer"}],"description":"The printMP3Headers function in util/listmp3.c in libming v0.4.8 or earlier is vulnerable to a global buffer overflow, which may allow attackers to cause a denial of service via a crafted file, a different vulnerability than CVE-2016-9264.","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-2017-16898","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"libming:libming","products":["libming:libming"],"type":"memory_corruption","year":"2017"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"Integer overflow in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-16899"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"passport-wsfed-saml2 vulnerable to Signature Bypass in SAML2 token","id":"CVE-2017-16897"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2017-11-20","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2023-50628","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-12-20"},{"cvss_score":9.1,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2020-11894","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-04-19"},{"cvss_score":9.1,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2020-11895","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-04-19"},{"cvss_score":9.1,"headline":"Information disclosure in n/a","id":"CVE-2019-16705","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-09-23"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2023-36239","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-06-22"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2023-31976","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-05-09"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2020-6628","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-01-09"}],"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":"Attackers can cause a denial of service via a crafted file due to a global buffer overflow in the libming library.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-16898/"}
