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-2018-16140 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Canonical Ubuntu Linux. 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-2018-16140/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-16140/index.md)","id":"CVE-2018-16140","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-16140/index.md","name":"CVE-2018-16140","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2018-16140","GHSA-8j2g-wgpq-4f6c","MGASA-2019-0064","SUSE-SU-2019:1291-1","UBUNTU-CVE-2018-16140","USN-3760-1","openSUSE-SU-2019:1455-1"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"fig2dev image converter","requires_auth":"none","summary":"A buffer underwrite in fig2dev allows attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted .fig file, impacting users of this image conversion tool.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"memory_corruption"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"ubuntu_linux","vendor":"canonical"},{"product":"fig2dev","vendor":"fig2dev_project"}],"cvss":{"score":7.8,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-787","name":"Out-of-bounds Write"}],"description":"A buffer underwrite vulnerability in get_line() (read.c) in fig2dev 3.2.7a allows an attacker to write prior to the beginning of the buffer via a crafted .fig file.","ecosystems":["SUSE:Linux Enterprise Workstation Extension 15","openSUSE:Leap 15.0","openSUSE:Leap 15.1"],"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-2018-16140","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"canonical:ubuntu_linux","products":["canonical:ubuntu_linux"],"type":"memory_corruption","year":"2018"},"n_packages":3,"n_references":3,"next":{"headline":"Path traversal in n/a","id":"CVE-2018-16141"},"packages":[{"ecosystem":"SUSE:Linux Enterprise Workstation Extension 15","fixed":["3.2.6a-4.3.51"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"transfig","purl":"pkg:rpm/suse/transfig\u0026distro=SUSE%20Linux%20Enterprise%20Workstation%20Extension%2015","source":"SUSE-SU-2019:1291-1"},{"ecosystem":"openSUSE:Leap 15.0","fixed":["3.2.6a-lp151.4.3.1"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"transfig","purl":"pkg:rpm/opensuse/transfig\u0026distro=openSUSE%20Leap%2015.0","source":"openSUSE-SU-2019:1455-1"},{"ecosystem":"openSUSE:Leap 15.1","fixed":["3.2.6a-lp151.4.3.1"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"transfig","purl":"pkg:rpm/opensuse/transfig\u0026distro=openSUSE%20Leap%2015.1","source":"openSUSE-SU-2019:1455-1"}],"prev":{"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2018-16139"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2018-08-30","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"SaltStack Salt Authentication Bypass","id":"CVE-2020-11651","kev_date_added":"2021-11-03","published":"2020-04-30"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"OpenSMTPD Remote Code Execution","id":"CVE-2020-7247","kev_date_added":"2022-03-25","published":"2020-01-29"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Exim Out-of-bounds Write","id":"CVE-2019-16928","kev_date_added":"2022-03-03","published":"2019-09-27"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Exim Buffer Overflow","id":"CVE-2018-6789","kev_date_added":"2021-11-03","published":"2018-02-08"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Oracle Java SE and Java SE Embedded Remote Code Execution","id":"CVE-2015-2590","kev_date_added":"2022-03-03","published":"2015-07-16"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Oracle JRE Remote Code Execution","id":"CVE-2013-0422","kev_date_added":"2022-05-25","published":"2013-01-10"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Oracle Java SE Runtime Environment (JRE) Arbitrary Code Execution","id":"CVE-2011-3544","kev_date_added":"2022-03-03","published":"2011-10-19"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CC BY 4.0","name":"SUSE","prefix":"SUSE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CC BY 4.0","name":"SUSE","prefix":"openSUSE"},{"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 buffer underwrite in fig2dev allows attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted .fig file, impacting users of this image conversion tool.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-16140/"}
