Security Bulletin: Multiple vulnerabilities in IBM Cognos Business Intelligence affect Rational Insight

Description

## Summary There are vulnerabilities in IBM® Cognos Business Intelligence, and the components it ships with, that are used by Rational Insight. There are multiple vulnerabilities in IBM® Runtime Environment Java™ Technology Edition Version 7 that is used by IBM Cognos Business Intelligence. These issues were disclosed as part of the IBM Java SDK updates in January and April 2018. Multiple Open Source OpenSSL vulnerabilities affect IBM Cognos Business Intelligence versions prior to 10.2.2. IBM Cognos Business Intelligence uses the IBM WAS Liberty Profile (WLP). There is a potential denial of service in Apache CXF that is used by WebSphere Application Server . IBM Cognos Business Intelligence has upgraded WLP to a version that addresses the vulnerability. A deserialization flaw was discovered in the jackson-databind library which is used by IBM Cognos Business Intelligence. IBM Cognos Business Intelligence is vulnerable to Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) where the application allows a users input to be integrated with client-side application code in an unsafe manner. ## Vulnerability Details **CVEID:** [CVE-2017-3735](<https://vulners.com/cve/CVE-2017-3735>) **DESCRIPTION:** OpenSSL could allow a remote attacker to obtain sensitive information, caused by an error while parsing an IPAdressFamily extension in an X.509 certificate. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to trigger an out-of-bounds read, resulting in an incorrect text display of the certificate.
