CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N)

CVEID: CVE-2016-8617

Description: cURL/libcurl could allow a remote authenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code on the system, caused by an out of bounds write in the base64 encode function. By using a specially crafted username, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code on the system.

CVSS Base Score: 5
CVSS Temporal Score: See https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/118636 for the current score
CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:L)

CVEID: CVE-2016-8619
