It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2026-79516 exists.\n\nAffected product: n/a. 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-2026-79516/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-79516/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-79516","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-79516/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-79516","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2026-79516","GHSA-65qg-r8w5-5wxq","UBUNTU-CVE-2026-79516"],"analysis":{"component_type":"library","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"C string formatting library","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can cause a Denial of Service via crafted input due to an out-of-bounds read in the stb_sprintf library.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"denial_of_service"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":4,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AC:H/AV:L/A:L/C:N/I:L/PR:N/S:U/UI:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-125","name":"Out-of-bounds Read"}],"description":"An out-of-bounds read in the stbsp_vsnprintf function (stb_sprintf.h) of nothings stb commit 31c1ad3 allows attackers to cause a Denial of Service (DoS) via sending a crafted input.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":false,"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2026-79516","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"denial_of_service","year":"2026"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2026-79522"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2026-79515"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2026-09-09","related":[],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"poc","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-09-14","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Attackers can cause a Denial of Service via crafted input due to an out-of-bounds read in the stb_sprintf library.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-79516/"}
