Vulnerability Details
IBM SONAS is shipped with Mozilla Firefox. There are vulnerabilities in certain versions of Mozilla Firefox shipped in certain versions of IBM SONAS. These vulnerabilities concern the potential ability of a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on a vulnerable system or cause a denial of service.
CVEID: CVE-2018-12364
DESCRIPTION: Mozilla Firefox is vulnerable to cross-site request forgery, caused by improper validation of user-supplied input. By persuading an authenticated user to visit a malicious Web site, a remote attacker could use 307 redirects and NPAPI plugins to perform unauthorized actions. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to perform cross-site scripting attacks, Web cache poisoning, and other malicious activities.

CVEID: CVE-2018-5188
DESCRIPTION: Mozilla Firefox could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the system, caused by memory safety bugs within the browser engine. 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.

Affected Products and Versions
IBM SONAS
The product is affected when running code releases 1.5.1.0 to 1.5.2.9
Remediation/Fixes
A fix for these issues is in version 1.5.2.10 of IBM SONAS. Customers running an affected version of IBM SONAS should upgrade to 1.5.2.10 or a later version, so that the fix gets applied.
Workarounds and Mitigations
Workaround(s) :
Normal operation of IBM SONAS does not require or call for customers to use Firefox to access the Internet. Although IBM recommends that you install a level of IBM SONAS code with a fix, you can avoid these vulnerabilities by not using Mozilla Firefox within your IBM SONAS system to access the Internet.
Mitigation: None
