Security Bulletin: Vulnerabilities in Node.js, XStream and Apache Commons affect IBM Spectrum Control

Description

## Summary Vulnerabilities in Node.js, XStream and Apache Commons such as denial of service, elevated privileges, and execution of arbitrary code on the system may affect IBM Spectrum Control. ## Vulnerability Details ** CVEID: **[CVE-2021-22918](<https://vulners.com/cve/CVE-2021-22918>) ** DESCRIPTION: **Node.js is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by an out-of-bounds read in the libuv's uv__idna_toascii() function. By invoking the function using dns module's lookup() function, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to obtain sensitive information or cause a denial of service. CVSS Base score: 6.5 CVSS Temporal Score: See: [ https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/204784](<https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/204784>) for the current score. CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:L) ** CVEID: **[CVE-2021-22921](<https://vulners.com/cve/CVE-2021-22921>) ** DESCRIPTION: **Node.js could allow a local attacker to gain elevated privileges on the system, caused by improper configuration of permissions in the installation directory. Under certain conditions. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to perform PATH and DLL hijacking attacks. CVSS Base score: 7.4 CVSS Temporal Score: See: [ https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/204785](<https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/204785>) for the current score. CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H) ** CVEID: **[CVE-2021-35517](<https://vulners.com/cve/CVE-2021-35517>) ** DESCRIPTION: **Apache Commons Compress is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by an out of memory error when allocating large amounts of memory. By persuading a victim to open a specially-crafted TAR archive, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause a denial of service condition against services that use Compress' tar package. CVSS Base score: 5.5 CVSS Temporal Score: See: [ https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/205307](<https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/205307>) for the current score. CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H) ** CVEID: **[CVE-2021-36090](<https://vulners.com/cve/CVE-2021-36090>) ** DESCRIPTION: **Apache Commons Compress is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by an out-of-memory error when large amounts of memory are allocated. By reading a specially-crafted ZIP archive, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause a denial of service condition against services that use Compress' zip package. CVSS Base score: 7.5 CVSS Temporal Score: See: [ https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/205310](<https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/205310>) for the current score. CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H) ** CVEID: **[CVE-2021-29505](<https://vulners.com/cve/CVE-2021-29505>) ** DESCRIPTION: **XStream XStream could allow a remote authenticated attacker to execute arbitrary commands on the system, caused by improper input validation. By manipulating the processed input stream, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary commands on the system. CVSS Base score: 8.8 CVSS Temporal Score: See: [ https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/202795](<https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/202795>) for the current score. CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H) ** CVEID: **[CVE-2021-35515](<https://vulners.com/cve/CVE-2021-35515>) ** DESCRIPTION: **Apache Commons Compress is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by an infinite loop flaw in the construction of the list of codecs that decompress an entry. By persuading a victim to open a specially-crafted 7Z archive, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause a denial of service condition against services that use Compress' sevenz package. CVSS Base score: 5.5 CVSS Temporal Score: See: [ https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/205304](<https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/205304>) for the current score.
