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-2022-38496 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- lief (PyPI): affected all versions; fixed in 0.12.2\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-2022-38496/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-38496/index.md)","id":"CVE-2022-38496","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-38496/index.md","name":"CVE-2022-38496","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-8j78-7q6f-p35c","PYSEC-2022-43137","UBUNTU-CVE-2022-38496"],"analysis":{"component_type":"library","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"LIEF binary parsing library","requires_auth":"none","summary":"A reachable assertion abort in the LIEF library allows attackers to cause a denial of service via crafted binary input.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"denial_of_service"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"lief","vendor":"lief-project"}],"cvss":{"score":5.5,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-617","name":"Reachable Assertion"}],"description":"LIEF commit 365a16a was discovered to contain a reachable assertion abort via the component BinaryStream.hpp.","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":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2022-38496","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":"PyPI","product":null,"products":[],"type":"denial_of_service","year":"2022"},"n_packages":1,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"LIEF contains a segmentation violation","id":"CVE-2022-38497"},"packages":[{"ecosystem":"PyPI","fixed":["0.12.2"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"lief","purl":"pkg:pypi/lief","source":"PYSEC-2022-43137"}],"prev":{"headline":"LIEF vulnerable to heap based buffer overflow via print_binary function","id":"CVE-2022-38495"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2022-09-13","related":[{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"LIEF heap-buffer-overflow","id":"CVE-2021-32297","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-09-20"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"LIEF vulnerable to heap based buffer overflow","id":"CVE-2022-38306","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-09-13"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"LIEF vulnerable to heap based buffer overflow via print_binary function","id":"CVE-2022-38495","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-09-13"},{"cvss_score":6.5,"headline":"LIEF heap buffer overflow in the LIEF::MachO::BinaryParser::parse_dyldinfo_generic_bind","id":"CVE-2022-43171","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-11-17"},{"cvss_score":6.5,"headline":"LIEF vulnerable to denial of service through segmentation fault","id":"CVE-2022-40922","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-10-03"},{"cvss_score":6.5,"headline":"LIEF vulnerable to denial of service through segmentation fault","id":"CVE-2022-40923","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-09-30"},{"cvss_score":5.5,"headline":"LIEF contains segmentation violation","id":"CVE-2022-38307","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-09-13"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"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":"2024-08-03","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"A reachable assertion abort in the LIEF library allows attackers to cause a denial of service via crafted binary input.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-38496/"}
