Security Bulletin: Multiple vulnerabilities in OpenSSL affect IBM API Connect (CVE-2017-3738, CVE-2017-3737)

Summary

IBM API Connect has addressed the following vulnerabilities.

OpenSSL could allow a remote attacker to obtain sensitive information, caused by an overflow bug in the AVX2 Montgomery multiplication procedure used in exponentiation with 1024-bit moduli.

An unspecified vulnerability in multiple Oracle products could allow an unauthenticated attacker to cause low confidentiality impact, low integrity impact, and high availability impact.

Vulnerability Details

CVEID:CVE-2017-3738**
DESCRIPTION: *OpenSSL could allow a remote attacker to obtain sensitive information, caused by an overflow bug in the AVX2 Montgomery multiplication procedure used in exponentiation with 1024-bit moduli. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to obtain information about the private key. Note: In order to exploit this vulnerability, the server would have to share the DH1024 private key among multiple clients, which is no longer an option since CVE-2016-0701.
