Security Bulletin
Summary
Multiple vulnerabilities were remediated in IBM Observability with Instana build 269
Vulnerability Details
CVEID: CVE-2020-15522
DESCRIPTION: Bouncy Castle BC Java, BC C# .NET, BC-FJA, BC-FNA could allow a remote attacker to obtain sensitive information, caused by a timing issue within the EC math library. By utilize cryptographic attack techniques, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to obtain the private key information, and use this information to launch further attacks against the affected system.
CVSS Base score: 5.9
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/202188 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N)
CVEID: CVE-2020-26939
DESCRIPTION: Legion of the Bouncy Castle BC and Legion of the Bouncy Castle BC-FJA could allow a remote attacker to obtain sensitive information, caused by observable differences in behavior to rrror inputs in org.bouncycastle.crypto.encodings.OAEPEncoding. By using the OAEP Decoder to send invalid ciphertext that decrypts to a short payload, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to obtain sensitive information and use this information to launch further attacks against the affected system.
CVSS Base score: 5.3
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/191108 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N)
CVEID: CVE-2019-17359
DESCRIPTION: Bouncy Castle Crypto is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by OutOfMemoryError error in ASN.1 parser. By sending specially crafted ASN.1 data, a local attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause the application to crash.
CVSS Base score: 4
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/168581 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L)
CVEID: CVE-2023-33201
DESCRIPTION: The Bouncy Castle Crypto Package For Java (bc-java) could allow a remote attacker to obtain sensitive information, caused by not validating the X.500 name of any certificate in the implementation of the X509LDAPCertStoreSpi.java class. By using blind LDAP injection attack techniques, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to obtain sensitive information, and use this information to launch further attacks against the affected system.
CVSS Base score: 7.1
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/258653 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:L/A:N)
CVEID: CVE-2018-1000180
DESCRIPTION: Bouncy Castle could provide weaker than expected security, caused by an error in the Low-level interface to RSA key pair generator. The RSA Key Pairs generated in low-level API with added certainty may have less M-R tests than expected. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to launch further attacks on the system.
CVSS Base score: 5.3
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/144810 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N)
CVEID: CVE-2022-25647
DESCRIPTION: Google Gson is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by the deserialization of untrusted data. By using the writeReplace() method, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause a denial of service.
CVSS Base score: 7.7
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/217225 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:H/A:H)
IBM X-Force ID: 217225
DESCRIPTION: Google Gson is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by the deserialization of untrusted data. By using the writeReplace() method, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause a denial of service.

Disclaimer
According to the Forum of Incident Response and Security Teams (FIRST), the Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) is an "industry open standard designed to convey vulnerability severity and help to determine urgency and priority of response." IBM PROVIDES THE CVSS SCORES ""AS IS"" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. CUSTOMERS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR ASSESSING THE IMPACT OF ANY ACTUAL OR POTENTIAL SECURITY VULNERABILITY. In addition to other efforts to address potential vulnerabilities, IBM periodically updates the record of components contained in our product offerings. As part of that effort, if IBM identifies previously unidentified packages in a product/service inventory, we address relevant vulnerabilities regardless of CVE date. Inclusion of an older CVEID does not demonstrate that the referenced product has been used by IBM since that date, nor that IBM was aware of a vulnerability as of that date. We are making clients aware of relevant vulnerabilities as we become aware of them. "Affected Products and Versions" referenced in IBM Security Bulletins are intended to be only products and versions that are supported by IBM and have not passed their end-of-support or warranty date. Thus, failure to reference unsupported or extended-support products and versions in this Security Bulletin does not constitute a determination by IBM that they are unaffected by the vulnerability. Reference to one or more unsupported versions in this Security Bulletin shall not create an obligation for IBM to provide fixes for any unsupported or extended-support products or versions.
