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-2017-6437 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-2017-6437/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-6437/index.md)","id":"CVE-2017-6437","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-6437/index.md","name":"CVE-2017-6437","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2017-6437","GHSA-jrc8-cm2r-wc39"],"analysis":{"component_type":"library","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"libplist library","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A local attacker can cause a denial of service via an out-of-bounds read in the libplist library by providing a crafted plist file.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"denial_of_service"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"libplist","vendor":"libplist_project"}],"cvss":{"score":5,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-125","name":"Out-of-bounds Read"}],"description":"The base64encode function in base64.c in libimobiledevice libplist 1.12 allows local users to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read) via a crafted plist 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":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-6437","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"denial_of_service","year":"2017"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-6438"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-6436"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2017-03-15","related":[{"cvss_score":7.3,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-6438","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-03-15"},{"cvss_score":5,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-6435","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-03-15"},{"cvss_score":5,"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-6436","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-03-15"},{"cvss_score":5,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-6439","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-03-15"},{"cvss_score":5,"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-6440","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-03-15"}],"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":"A local attacker can cause a denial of service via an out-of-bounds read in the libplist library by providing a crafted plist file.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-6437/"}
