|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| CVE-2016-10197 | The search_make_new function in evdns.c in libevent before 2.1.6-beta allows attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read) via an empty hostname. | [email protected] | 7.5 | 1.99% | 2017-03-15 | 2026-05-13 |
| CVE-2016-10196 | Stack-based buffer overflow in the evutil_parse_sockaddr_port function in evutil.c in libevent before 2.1.6-beta allows attackers to cause a denial of service (segmentation fault) via vectors involving a long string in brackets in the ip_as_string argument. | [email protected] | 7.5 | 1.70% | 2017-03-15 | 2026-05-13 |
