Security Bulletin


Summary

IBM Integration Bus & IBM App connect Enterprise V11 ship with Node.js version 8 for which multiple vulnerabilities were reported and have been addressed. Vulnerability details are listed below.

Vulnerability Details

CVEID: CVE-2018-0737
Description: OpenSSL could allow a local attacker to obtain sensitive information, caused by a cache-timing side channel attack in the RSA Key generation algorithm. An attacker with access to mount cache timing attacks during the RSA key generation process could exploit this vulnerability to recover the private key and obtain sensitive information.
CVSS Base Score: 3.3
CVSS Temporal Score: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/141679 for more information

CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N)

CVE-ID: CVE-2018-7166
Description: Node.js could allow a remote attacker to obtain sensitive information, caused by the return of uninitialized memory by the Buffer.alloc() function. By sending a specially crafted argument, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to obtain sensitive information.
CVSS Base Score: 7.5
CVSS Temporal Score:  https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/148425for more information
CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N)

CVE-ID: CVE-2018-12115
Description: Node.js is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by an out-of-bounds write in Buffer. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to write to memory outside of a Buffer's memory space, corrupt Buffer objects or cause the process to crash.
CVSS Base Score: 8.2
CVSS Temporal Score: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/148426 for more information
CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:H)

CVE-ID: CVE-2018-0732
Description: OpenSSL is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by the sending of a very large prime value to the client by a malicious server during key agreement in a TLS handshake. By spending an unreasonably long period of time generating a key for this prime, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause the client to hang.
CVSS Base Score: 3.7
CVSS Temporal Score: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/144658 for more information
CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L)

CVEID: CVE-2018-7167
DESCRIPTION: Node.js is vulnerable to a denial of service. By invoking Buffer.fill() or Buffer.alloc() , a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause the application to hang.
CVSS Base Score: 7.5
CVSS Temporal Score: See https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/144740 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-2018-1000168
DESCRIPTION: nghttp2 is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by a NULL pointer dereference. By sending a specially-crafted packet, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause the application to crash.
CVSS Base Score: 5.3
CVSS Temporal Score: See https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/141584 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:L)

CVEID: CVE-2018-7161
DESCRIPTION: Node.js is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by an error within the http2 implementation. By interacting with the http2 server in an insecure manner, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause the node server providing an http2 server to crash.
CVSS Base Score: 7.5
CVSS Temporal Score: See https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/144736 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-2018-7159
DESCRIPTION: Node.js http module could allow a remote attacker to bypass security restrictions, caused by the acceptance of incorrect Content-Length values, containing spaces within the value, in HTTP headers. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to confuse the script and launch further attacks on the system.
CVSS Base Score: 5.3
CVSS Temporal Score: See https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/143448 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-2018-7160
DESCRIPTION: Node.js inspector module could allow a remote attacker to bypass security restrictions, caused by the failure to properly validate the Host header. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to bypass same-origin policy and conduct a DNS rebinding attack.
CVSS Base Score: 5.8
