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-2018-5996 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Debian Debian 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-2018-5996/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-5996/index.md)","id":"CVE-2018-5996","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-5996/index.md","name":"CVE-2018-5996","record":{"aliases":["ALPINE-CVE-2018-5996","AZL-35093","AZL-6784","DEBIAN-CVE-2018-5996","GHSA-2jr3-p4jr-g977","UBUNTU-CVE-2018-5996"],"analysis":{"component_type":"library","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution","denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"7-Zip compression library","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can execute arbitrary code or cause denial of service via crafted RAR archives due to memory corruption in 7-Zip and p7zip.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"memory_corruption"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"7-zip","vendor":"7-zip"},{"product":"p7zip","vendor":"7-zip"},{"product":"debian_linux","vendor":"debian"}],"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-119","name":"Improper Restriction of Operations within the Bounds of a Memory Buffer"}],"description":"Insufficient exception handling in the method NCompress::NRar3::CDecoder::Code of 7-Zip before 18.00 and p7zip can lead to multiple memory corruptions within the PPMd code, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (segmentation fault) or execute arbitrary code via a crafted RAR archive.","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-2018-5996","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"debian:debian_linux","products":["debian:debian_linux"],"type":"memory_corruption","year":"2018"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":5,"next":{"headline":"File upload in n/a","id":"CVE-2018-5997"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Information disclosure in n/a","id":"CVE-2018-5995"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2018-01-31","related":[{"cvss_score":7,"headline":"7-Zip Mark of the Web Bypass","id":"CVE-2025-0411","kev_date_added":"2025-02-06","published":"2025-01-25"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Other in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-6536","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2009-03-30"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"GHSL-2026-140_7-Zip: 7-Zip has a heap buffer overflow via NTFS compressed stream buffer under-allocation","id":"CVE-2026-48095","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-06-05"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2018-10172","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2018-04-16"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-2335","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2016-06-07"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"7-Zip Zstandard Decompression Integer Underflow Remote Code Execution Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2024-11477","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-11-22"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"7-Zip SquashFS File Parsing Out-Of-Bounds Write Remote Code Execution Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2023-40481","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-05-03"}],"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":"2025-01-10","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Remote attackers can execute arbitrary code or cause denial of service via crafted RAR archives due to memory corruption in 7-Zip and p7zip.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-5996/"}
