Security Bulletin: Multiple security vulnerabilities affect IBM WebSphere Application Server in IBM Cloud

Description

## Summary There are multiple security vulnerabilities that affect IBM WebSphere Application Server in IBM Cloud. ## Vulnerability Details **CVEID:** [CVE-2017-1743](<https://vulners.com/cve/CVE-2017-1743>) **DESCRIPTION:** IBM WebSphere Application Server could allow a remote attacker to obtain sensitive information caused by improper handling of Administrative Console panel fields. When exploited an attacker could browse the file system. CVSS Base Score: 4.3 CVSS Temporal Score: See <https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/134933> for the current score CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N) **CVEID:** [CVE-2015-0899](<https://vulners.com/cve/CVE-2015-0899>) **DESCRIPTION:** Apache Struts could allow a remote attacker to bypass security restrictions, caused by an error in the MultiPageValidator implementation. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability using a modified page parameter to bypass restrictions and launch further attacks on the system. This vulnerability also affects other products. CVSS Base Score: 4.3 CVSS Temporal Score: See <https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/101770> for the current score CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined CVSS Vector: (AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:N/I:P/A:N) **CVEID:** [CVE-2018-1447](<https://vulners.com/cve/CVE-2018-1447>) **DESCRIPTION:** The GSKit CMS KDB logic fails to salt the hash function resulting in weaker than expected protection of passwords. A weak password may be recovered. Note: After update the customer should change password to ensure the new password is stored more securely. Products should encourage customers to take this step as a high priority action. CVSS Base Score: 5.1 CVSS Temporal Score: See <https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/139972> for the current score CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N) **CVEID:** [CVE-2018-1553](<https://vulners.com/cve/CVE-2018-1553>) **DESCRIPTION:** IBM WebSphere Application Server Liberty could allow a remote attacker to obtain sensitive information, caused by mishandling of exceptions by the SAML Web SSO feature. CVSS Base Score: 5.3 CVSS Temporal Score: See <https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/142890> for the current score CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N) **CVEID:** [CVE-2012-5783](<https://vulners.com/cve/CVE-2012-5783>) **DESCRIPTION:** Apache Commons HttpClient, as used in Amazon Flexible Payments Service (FPS) merchant Java SDK and other products, could allow a remote attacker to conduct spoofing attacks, caused by the failure to verify that the server hostname matches a domain name in the subject's Common Name (CN) field of the X.509 certificate. By persuading a victim to visit a Web site containing a specially-crafted certificate, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability using man-in-the-middle techniques to spoof an SSL server. CVSS Base Score: 4.3 CVSS Temporal Score: See <https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/79984> for the current score CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined CVSS Vector: (AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:N/I:P/A:N) **CVEID:** [CVE-2014-0114](<https://vulners.com/cve/CVE-2014-0114>) **DESCRIPTION:** Apache Struts could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the system, caused by the failure to restrict the setting of Class Loader attributes. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability using the class parameter of an ActionForm object to manipulate the ClassLoader and execute arbitrary code on the system. CVSS Base Score: 7.5 CVSS Temporal Score: See <https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/92889> for the current score CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined CVSS Vector: (AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P) **CVEID:** [CVE-2012-1007](<https://vulners.com/cve/CVE-2012-1007>) **DESCRIPTION:** Apache Struts is vulnerable to cross-site scripting, caused by improper validation of user-supplied input by the upload-submit.do, processSimple.do and struts-cookbook/processDyna.do scripts. A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability using the name or message parameter in a specially-crafted URL to execute script in a victim''s Web browser within the security context of the hosting Web site, once the URL is clicked. An attacker could use this vulnerability to steal the victim''s cookie-based authentication credentials. CVSS Base Score: 4.3 CVSS Temporal Score: See <https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/73052> for the current score CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined CVSS Vector: (AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:N/I:P/A:N) **CVEID:** [CVE-2016-1182](<https://vulners.com/cve/CVE-2016-1182>) **DESCRIPTION:** Apache Struts could allow a remote attacker to bypass security restrictions, caused by the failure to properly properly restrict the Validator configuration bin ActionServlet.java. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to modify validation rules and error messages. CVSS Base Score: 4.8 CVSS Temporal Score: See <https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/113853> 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:L/A:L) **CVEID:** [CVE-2016-1181](<https://vulners.com/cve/CVE-2016-1181>) **DESCRIPTION:** Apache Struts could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the system, caused by the failure to protect against unintended remote operations against components on server memory by the ActionForm instance. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code on the system. CVSS Base Score: 8.1 CVSS Temporal Score: See <https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/113852> for the current score CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H) **CVEID:** [CVE-2017-3732](<https://vulners.com/cve/CVE-2017-3732>) **DESCRIPTION:** OpenSSL could allow a remote attacker to obtain sensitive information, caused by a carry propagating bug in the x86_64 Montgomery squaring procedure.
