Security Bulletin: IBM QRadar Network Security is affected by GNU C library (glibc) vulnerabilities

Summary

IBM QRadar Network Security has addressed the following vulnerabilities.

Vulnerability Details

CVEID:CVE-2018-1000001
**DESCRIPTION:*Glibc could allow a local attacker to execute arbitrary code on the system, caused by a buffer underflow in the __realpath() function in stdlib/canonicalize.c. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code on the system and obtain privileges.
CVSS Base Score: 8.4
CVSS Temporal Score: See <https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/137516&gt; for the current score
CVSS Environmental Score: Undefined
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H)

CVEID:CVE-2017-15804
**DESCRIPTION:*GNU C Library (aka glibc or libc6) is vulnerable to a buffer overflow, caused by improper bounds checking by glob function in glob.c. By using a specially-crafted file, a local attacker could overflow a buffer.
CVSS Base Score: 5.3
CVSS Temporal Score: See <https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/133996&gt; for the current score
CVSS Environmental Score: Undefined
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:L)

CVEID:CVE-2017-15670
**DESCRIPTION:*GNU C Library is vulnerable to a heap-based buffer overflow, caused by improper bounds checking by the glob function in glob.c. By sending a specially-crafted string, a remote attacker could overflow a buffer and execute arbitrary code on the system.
CVSS Base Score: 7.3
CVSS Temporal Score: See <https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/133915&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:L/I:L/A:L)

CVEID:CVE-2017-12132
**DESCRIPTION:*GNU C Library (aka glibc or libc6) could allow a remote attacker to conduct spoofing attacks, caused by a flaw in the DNS stub resolver. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to perform off-path DNS spoofing attacks.
CVSS Base Score: 5.3
CVSS Temporal Score: See <https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/129949&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:N/I:L/A:N)

CVEID:CVE-2015-5180
**DESCRIPTION:*glibc is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by a NULL pointer dereference in the res_query function in libresolv. By using a malformed pattern, a remote attacker could cause the process to crash.
CVSS Base Score: 7.5
CVSS Temporal Score: See <https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/130620&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:N/I:N/A:H)

CVEID:CVE-2014-9402
**DESCRIPTION:*glibc is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by an error in the getanswer_r() function. If the DNS backend is activated, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause the application to enter into an infinite loop.
CVSS Base Score: 4.3
