It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2025-68160 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Openssl Openssl. 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-2025-68160/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-68160/index.md)","id":"CVE-2025-68160","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-68160/index.md","name":"CVE-2025-68160","record":{"aliases":["ALPINE-CVE-2025-68160","AZL-75281","AZL-75780","AZL-75887","AZL-76125","AZL-76164","BELL-CVE-2025-68160","DEBIAN-CVE-2025-68160","ECHO-3df5-a3a2-6763","GHSA-g78j-46j5-97cr","JLSEC-2026-261","MINI-98q2-9f23-8398","MINI-cgrv-25qh-c2v4","MINI-rj3h-gp23-63xh","OESA-2026-1464","OESA-2026-1465","OESA-2026-1466","OESA-2026-1467","UBUNTU-CVE-2025-68160"],"analysis":{"component_type":"library","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":true,"product_category":"OpenSSL library","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Heap out-of-bounds write in OpenSSL's line-buffering filter can cause crashes and denial of service when specific non-default configurations are used.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"memory_corruption"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"openssl","cpe":[{"product":"openssl","vendor":"openssl"}],"cvss":{"score":4.7,"severity":"medium","source":"cisa-adp","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-787","name":"Out-of-bounds Write"}],"description":"Issue summary: Writing large, newline-free data into a BIO chain using the\nline-buffering filter where the next BIO performs short writes can trigger\na heap-based out-of-bounds write.\n\nImpact summary: This out-of-bounds write can cause memory corruption which\ntypically results in a crash, leading to Denial of Service for an application.\n\nThe line-buffering BIO filter (BIO_f_linebuffer) is not used by default in\nTLS/SSL data paths.
