Security Bulletin: Multiple open source vulnerabilities affect IBM PureApplication System

Summary

Vulnerabilities in openSSL, glibc, curl, and VMWare that are used in IBM PureApplication System. IBM PureApplication System has addressed these vulnerabilities.

Vulnerability Details

CVEID: CVE-2018-1000301 DESCRIPTION: curl is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by heap-based buffer over-read. By sending a specially crafted RTSP response, a remote attacker could overflow a buffer and possibly obtain sensitive information or cause the application to crash.
CVSS Base Score: 6.5
CVSS Temporal Score: See https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/143390 for the current score
CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:L)

CVEID: CVE-2018-11237 DESCRIPTION: GNU glibc is vulnerable to a buffer overflow, caused by improper bounds of checking by the mempcpy function. By sending a specially-crafted request, a remote attacker could overflow a buffer and execute arbitrary code on the system.
CVSS Base Score: 7.3
CVSS Temporal Score: See https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/143580 for the current score
CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:L)

CVEID: CVE-2018-0737 DESCRIPTION: OpenSSL could allow a local attacker to obtain sensitive information, caused by a cache-timing side channel attack in the RSA Key generation algorithm. An attacker with access to mount cache timing attacks during the RSA key generation process could exploit this vulnerability to recover the private key and obtain sensitive information.
CVSS Base Score: 3.3
CVSS Temporal Score: See https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/141679 for the current score
CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N)

CVEID: CVE-2018-0732 DESCRIPTION: OpenSSL is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by the sending of a very large prime value to the client by a malicious server during key agreement in a TLS handshake. By spending an unreasonably long period of time generating a key for this prime, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause the client to hang.
CVSS Base Score: 3.7
CVSS Temporal Score: See https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/144658 for the current score
CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L)

CVEID: CVE-2019-5518 DESCRIPTION: VMware ESXi, Workstation, and Fusion could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the system, caused by an out-of-bounds read/write flaw in the virtual USB 1.1 UHCI (Universal Host Controller Interface). By sending a specially-crafted request, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code on the host system.
CVSS Base Score: 9.8
CVSS Temporal Score: See https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/158820 for the current score
CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H)

CVEID: CVE-2019-5519 DESCRIPTION: VMware ESXi, Workstation, and Fusion could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the system, caused by a Time-of-check Time-of-use (TOCTOU) vulnerability in the virtual USB 1.1 UHCI (Universal Host Controller Interface). By sending a specially-crafted request, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code on the host system.
CVSS Base Score: 9.8
CVSS Temporal Score: See https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/158821 for the current score
CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined
