An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2020-16118 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Opensuse Backports Sle. 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-2020-16118/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-16118/index.md)","id":"CVE-2020-16118","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-16118/index.md","name":"CVE-2020-16118","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2020-16118","GHSA-c2wx-fcx5-8pm2","UBUNTU-CVE-2020-16118","openSUSE-SU-2020:1207-1","openSUSE-SU-2020:1230-1"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Balsa email client","requires_auth":"none","summary":"A malicious server or man-in-the-middle can crash the Balsa email client by sending a specific IMAP response, causing a denial of service.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"null_dereference"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"balsa","vendor":"gnome"},{"product":"backports_sle","vendor":"opensuse"},{"product":"leap","vendor":"opensuse"}],"cvss":{"score":7.5,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-476","name":"NULL Pointer Dereference"}],"description":"In GNOME Balsa before 2.6.0, a malicious server operator or man in the middle can trigger a NULL pointer dereference and client crash by sending a PREAUTH response to imap_mbox_connect in libbalsa/imap/imap-handle.c.","ecosystems":["SUSE:Package Hub 15 SP1","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":"Null dereference in n/a","id":"CVE-2020-16118","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"opensuse:backports_sle","products":["opensuse:backports_sle","opensuse:leap"],"type":"null_dereference","year":"2020"},"n_packages":2,"n_references":4,"next":{"headline":"DCCP CCID structure use-after-free","id":"CVE-2020-16119"},"packages":[{"ecosystem":"SUSE:Package Hub 15 SP1","fixed":["2.5.5-bp151.4.3.1"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"balsa","purl":"pkg:rpm/suse/balsa\u0026distro=SUSE%20Package%20Hub%2015%20SP1","source":"openSUSE-SU-2020:1230-1"},{"ecosystem":"openSUSE:Leap 15.1","fixed":["2.5.5-lp151.3.3.1"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"balsa","purl":"pkg:rpm/opensuse/balsa\u0026distro=openSUSE%20Leap%2015.1","source":"openSUSE-SU-2020:1207-1"}],"prev":{"headline":"Null dereference in n/a","id":"CVE-2020-16117"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2020-07-29","related":[{"cvss_score":6.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2007-5007","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2007-09-20"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"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":"2024-08-04","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"A malicious server or man-in-the-middle can crash the Balsa email client by sending a specific IMAP response, causing a denial of service.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-16118/"}
