Security Bulletin: IBM Planning Analytics Local is affected by multiple Node.js vulnerabilities

Summary

The Planning Analytics Workspace component of IBM Planning Analytics is vulnerable to multiple Node.js vulnerabilities including OpenSSL vulnerabilities in Node.js. The version of Node.js use by IBM Planning Analytics Workspace has been upgraded to address these vulnerabilities.

Vulnerability Details

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&gt; 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-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&gt; 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-2018-7158 DESCRIPTION: Node.js path module is vulnerable to a denial of service. By sending a specially crafted file path, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause a regular expression denial of service.
CVSS Base Score: 5.9
CVSS Temporal Score: See <https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/143449&gt; 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:H)

CVEID: CVE-2018-7159 DESCRIPTION: Node.js http module could allow a remote attacker to bypass security restrictions, caused by the acceptance of incorrect Content-Length values, containing spaces within the value, in HTTP headers. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to confuse the script and launch further attacks on the system.
CVSS Base Score: 5.3
CVSS Temporal Score: See <https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/143448&gt; for the current score

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

CVEID: CVE-2018-7160 DESCRIPTION: Node.js inspector module could allow a remote attacker to bypass security restrictions, caused by the failure to properly validate the Host header. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to bypass same-origin policy and conduct a DNS rebinding attack.
CVSS Base Score: 5.8
CVSS Temporal Score: See <https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/143447&gt; for the current score
CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:L)

CVEID: CVE-2018-7166 DESCRIPTION: Node.js could allow a remote attacker to obtain sensitive information, caused by the return of uninitialized memory by the Buffer.alloc() function. By sending a specially crafted argument, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to obtain sensitive information.
CVSS Base Score: 7.5
CVSS Temporal Score: See <https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/148425&gt; 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:N/A:N)

CVEID: CVE-2018-12115 DESCRIPTION: Node.js is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by an out-of-bounds write in Buffer. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to write to memory outside of a Buffer’'s memory space, corrupt Buffer objects or cause the process to crash.
CVSS Base Score: 8.2
