Security Bulletin: IBM Security Information Queue uses database components with known vulnerabilities (CVE-2016-3506, CVE-2018-1058, CVE-2018-10936, CVE-2019-9193)

Summary

IBM Security Information Queue (ISIQ) relies on older Oracle JDBC and PostgreSQL JAR files that have known vulnerabilities. As of v1.0.5, ISIQ switched to newer, secure versions of the JAR files.

Vulnerability Details

CVEID:CVE-2016-3506
**DESCRIPTION:**Unspecified vulnerability in the JDBC component in Oracle Database Server 11.2.0.4, 12.1.0.1, and 12.1.0.2; the Oracle Retail Xstore Point of Service 5.5, 6.0, 6.5, 7.0, 7.1, 15.0, and 16.0; the Oracle Retail Warehouse Management System 14.04, 14.1.3, and 15.0.1; the Oracle Retail Workforce Management 1.60.7, and 1.64.0; the Oracle Retail Clearance Optimization Engine 13.4; the Oracle Retail Markdown Optimization 13.4 and 14.0; and Oracle Retail Merchandising System 16.0 allows remote attackers to affect confidentiality, integrity, and availability via unknown vectors.

CVEID:CVE-2018-1058
**DESCRIPTION:**A flaw was found in the way Postgresql allowed a user to modify the behavior of a query for other users. An attacker with a user account could use this flaw to execute code with the permissions of superuser in the database. Versions 9.3 through 10 are affected.
CVSS Base score: 6.3
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/139844 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:L)

CVEID:CVE-2018-10936
**DESCRIPTION:**A weakness was found in postgresql-jdbc before version 42.2.5. It was possible to provide an SSL Factory and not check the host name if a host name verifier was not provided to the driver. This could lead to a condition where a man-in-the-middle attacker could masquerade as a trusted server by providing a certificate for the wrong host, as long as it was signed by a trusted CA.
CVSS Base score: 5.9
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/149157 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:L/A:N)

CVEID:CVE-2019-9193
**DESCRIPTION:**DISPUTED In PostgreSQL 9.3 through 11.2, the “COPY TO/FROM PROGRAM” function allows superusers and users in the ‘pg_execute_server_program’ group to execute arbitrary code in the context of the database’s operating system user. This functionality is enabled by default and can be abused to run arbitrary operating system commands on Windows, Linux, and macOS. NOTE: Third parties claim/state this is not an issue because PostgreSQL functionality for ?COPY TO/FROM PROGRAM? is acting as intended. References state that in PostgreSQL, a superuser can execute commands as the server user without using the ?COPY FROM PROGRAM?.
CVSS Base score: 7.8
