Security Bulletin
Summary
There are vulnerabilities in Network Security Services (NSS) to which the IBM® FlashSystem™ V9000 is susceptible. An exploit of these vulnerabilities could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on a vulnerable system, cause the application to crash, or cause a denial of service.
Vulnerability Details
CVEID: CVE-2015-7181
DESCRIPTION: Mozilla Firefox could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the system, caused by a use-after-poison in the sec_asn1d_parse_leaf() function. By persuading a victim to visit a specially-crafted Web site, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability using unknown attack vectors to execute arbitrary code on the vulnerable system or cause a denial of service.
CVSS Base Score: 8.8
CVSS Temporal Score: See https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/107814 for the current score
CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H)
CVEID: CVE-2015-7182
DESCRIPTION: Mozilla Firefox is vulnerable to a heap-based buffer overflow, caused by improper bounds checking when decoding constructed OCTET STRING. By persuading a victim to visit a specially-crafted Web site, a remote attacker could overflow a buffer and execute arbitrary code on the system or cause the application to crash.
CVSS Base Score: 8.8
CVSS Temporal Score: See https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/107815 for the current score
CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H)
CVEID: CVE-2015-7183
DESCRIPTION: Mozilla Firefox is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by an integer overflow in the Netscape Portable Runtime (NSPR) in PL_ARENA_ALLOCATE. By persuading a victim to visit a specially-crafted Web site, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability using unknown attack vectors to cause the application to crash.
CVSS Base Score: 4.3
