Security Bulletin
Summary
EMC RSA BSAFE-C Toolkits, utilized by WebSphere Transformation Extender Secure Adapter Collection, could allow a remote attacker to obtain sensitive information.
Additionally, SSLv3 contains a vulnerability that has been referred to as the Padding Oracle On Downgraded Legacy Encryption (POODLE) attack. SSLv3 is enabled in WebSphere Transformation Extender Secure Adapter Collection.
Vulnerability Details
CVE ID: CVE-2014-4192
Description: EMC RSA BSAFE-C Toolkits could allow a remote attacker to obtain sensitive information, caused by the processing of certain requests for output bytes by the Dual_EC_DRBG implementation. By recovering the algorithm's inner state, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to obtain sensitive information.
CVSS Base Score: 5
CVSS Temporal Score: See https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/93832 for the current score
CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined
CVSS Vector: (AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:N/A:N)
CVE ID: CVE-2014-4191
Description: EMC RSA BSAFE-C Toolkits could allow a remote attacker to obtain sensitive information, caused by the sending of a long series of random bytes during use of the Dual_EC_DRBG algorithm by the TLS implementation. By recovering the algorithm's inner state, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to obtain sensitive information.
