Security Bulletin: Multiple vulnerabilities affect IBM Planning Analytics

Summary

This Security Bulletin addresses multiple vulnerabilities that have been remediated in IBM Planning Analytics 2.0.8.

There are multiple vulnerabilities in IBM® Runtime Environment Java™ used by IBM Planning Analytics 2.0.7 and lower. IBM Planning Analytics 2.0.8 has addressed the applicable CVEs by upgrading to IBM® Runtime Environment Java™ Version 8 Service Refresh 5 Fix Pack 35.

As of version 2.0.6, IBM Planning Analytics is no longer compatible with IBM® Runtime Environment Java™ Version 7. IBM Planning Analytics 2.0.8 (Windows) will install IBM® Runtime Environment Java™ Version 8.

If you run your own Java code using the IBM Java Runtime delivered with this product, you should evaluate your code to determine whether additional Java vulnerabilities are applicable to your code. For a complete list of vulnerabilities, refer to the “IBM Java SDK Security Bulletin”, located in the References section for more information.

A vulnerability exists where the IBM Planing Analytics TM1 Server could allow a local user with specialized access to exploit an unquoted Windows search path vulnerability which could allow local users to gain privileges via a malicious “program.exe” file. This vulnerability has been addressed.

Multiple vulnerabilities in ICU used by IBM Planning Analytics have been addressed in the IBM Planning Analytics Common Core Library (CCL).

There are vulnerabilities in IBM WebSphere Application Server Liberty used by IBM Planning Analytics. IBM Planning Analytics has addressed the applicable CVEs in IBM Planning Analytics 2.0.8 and Planning Analytics Workspace Release 43.

A vulnerability in Faster XML Jackson-Databind used by IBM Planning Analytics and IBM Planning Analytics Workspace has been addressed.

Vulnerability Details

CVEID: CVE-2018-12547

DESCRIPTION: Eclipse OpenJ9 is vulnerable to a buffer overflow, caused by improper bounds checking by the jio_snprintf() and jio_vsnprintf() functions. By sending an overly long argument, a remote attacker could overflow a buffer and execute arbitrary code on the system or cause the application to crash.

CVEID: CVE-2019-4245 DESCRIPTION: Multiple vendor applications designed for Microsoft Windows platforms make insecure calls to the CreateProcess() and CreateProcessAsUser() functions using unquoted Windows search paths, which could allow a local attacker to execute arbitrary code on the system. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by placing malicious files on the victim’'s system that have the same name as legitimate files, which would be called by one of the affected applications allowing the attacker to execute arbitrary code on the system with elevated privileges.
