CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined
CVSS Vector: (AV:L/AC:H/Au:N/C:N/I:P/A:N)
CVEID: CVE-2014-3571
DESCRIPTION: OpenSSL is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by a flaw when handling malicious messages. A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause a denial of service.
CVSS Base Score: 5
CVSS Temporal Score: See https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/#/vulnerabilities/99703 for the current score
CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined
CVSS Vector: (AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:P)
CVEID: CVE-2014-3572
DESCRIPTION: OpenSSL could provide weaker than expected security. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to launch further attacks on the system.
CVSS Base Score: 1.2
CVSS Temporal Score: See https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/#/vulnerabilities/99705 for the current score
CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined
CVSS Vector: (AV:L/AC:H/Au:N/C:N/I:P/A:N)
CVEID: CVE-2014-8275
DESCRIPTION: OpenSSL could allow a local attacker to bypass security restrictions. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability and perform unauthorized actions.
CVSS Base Score: 1.2
CVSS Temporal Score: See https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/#/vulnerabilities/99709 for the current score
CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined
CVSS Vector: (AV:L/AC:H/Au:N/C:N/I:P/A:N)
CVEID: CVE-2015-0204
DESCRIPTION: OpenSSL could provide weaker than expected security when using RSA. RSA is one of the algorithms used for secure data transmission. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to launch further attacks on the system.
CVSS Base Score: 1.2
CVSS Temporal Score: See https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/#/vulnerabilities/99707 for the current score
CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined
CVSS Vector: (AV:L/AC:H/Au:N/C:N/I:P/A:N)
CVEID: CVE-2015-0205
DESCRIPTION: OpenSSL could allow a remote authenticated attacker to bypass security restrictions. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to authenticate without the use of a private key.
CVSS Base Score: 2.1
CVSS Temporal Score: See https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/#/vulnerabilities/99708 for the current score
CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined
CVSS Vector: (AV:N/AC:H/Au:S/C:N/I:P/A:N)
CVEID: CVE-2015-0206
DESCRIPTION: OpenSSL is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by a memory leak in one of its functions. A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to exhaust all available memory resources, resulting in a denial of service.
CVSS Base Score: 5
CVSS Temporal Score: See https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/#/vulnerabilities/99704 for the current score
CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined
CVSS Vector: (AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:P)
