An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2017-6952 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- capstone (PyPI): affected all versions; fixed in 3.0.5rc2\n- capstone (PyPI): affected all versions; fixed in 3.0.5rc2\n- capstone (PyPI): affected all versions; fixed in 3.0.5rc2\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-2017-6952/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-6952/index.md)","id":"CVE-2017-6952","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-6952/index.md","name":"CVE-2017-6952","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-3v99-hpv7-9hh9","PYSEC-2017-113"],"analysis":{"component_type":"library","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["denial_of_service","code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Capstone disassembly library","requires_auth":"none","summary":"An integer overflow in Capstone's kernel memory allocator allows attackers to cause a heap-based buffer overflow, leading to denial of service or potential code execution.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"integer_overflow"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"capstone","vendor":"capstone-engine"}],"cvss":{"score":8.8,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-190","name":"Integer Overflow or Wraparound"}],"description":"Integer overflow in the cs_winkernel_malloc function in winkernel_mm.c in Capstone 3.0.4 and earlier allows attackers to cause a denial of service (heap-based buffer overflow in a kernel driver) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a large value.","ecosystems":["PyPI"],"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":"Capstone Integer overflow","id":"CVE-2017-6952","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":"PyPI","product":null,"products":[],"type":"integer_overflow","year":"2017"},"n_packages":3,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-6953"},"packages":[{"ecosystem":"PyPI","fixed":["3.0.5rc2"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"capstone","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-3v99-hpv7-9hh9"},{"ecosystem":"PyPI","fixed":["3.0.5rc2"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"capstone","purl":"pkg:pypi/capstone","source":"GHSA-3v99-hpv7-9hh9"},{"ecosystem":"PyPI","fixed":["3.0.5rc2"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"capstone","purl":"pkg:pypi/capstone","source":"PYSEC-2017-113"}],"prev":{"headline":"Null dereference in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-6951"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2017-03-16","related":[{"cvss_score":5.5,"headline":"Capstone SEGV caused by a read memory access","id":"CVE-2016-7151","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-05-15"},{"cvss_score":5.1,"headline":"Capstone has a NULL Pointer Dereference with 3DNow! opcodes","id":"CVE-2026-47143","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-07-21"},{"cvss_score":4.8,"headline":"Capstone doesn't check Skipdata length, leading to cs_insn.bytes heap buffer overflow","id":"CVE-2025-67873","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-12-17"},{"cvss_score":4.8,"headline":"Capstone doesn't check vsnprintf return in SStream_concat, allows stack buffer underflow and overflow","id":"CVE-2025-68114","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-12-17"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CC BY 4.0","name":"GitHub Advisory Database","prefix":"GHSA"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CC BY 4.0","name":"PyPA Advisory Database","prefix":"PYSEC"},{"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":"An integer overflow in Capstone's kernel memory allocator allows attackers to cause a heap-based buffer overflow, leading to denial of service or potential code execution.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-6952/"}
