Security Bulletin
Summary
IBM Aspera Shares has addressed the following NGINX vulnerabilities.
Vulnerability Details
CVEID: CVE-2019-7401
DESCRIPTION: NGINX Unit is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by a heap-based buffer overflow in the router process. By sending a specially-crafted request, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause the router process to crash.
CVSS Base Score: 5.3
CVSS Temporal Score: See https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/156770 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-2018-16843
DESCRIPTION: nginx is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by a flaw when complied with ngx_http_v2_module. By sending a specially-crafted HTTP/2 request, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause excessive memory consumption.
CVSS Base Score: 5.3
CVSS Temporal Score: See https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/152679 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-2018-16845
DESCRIPTION: nginx is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by an error when compiled with the ngx_http_mp4_module. By persuading a victim to open a specially-crafted mp4 file, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause the application to enter into an infinite loop or obtain sensitive information from worker process memory.
CVSS Base Score: 4.4
CVSS Temporal Score: See https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/152681 for the current score
CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:L)
CVEID: CVE-2019-13617
DESCRIPTION: njs, used in NGINX, is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by a heap-based buffer over-read in nxt_vsprintf in nxt/nxt_sprintf.c during error handling. By persuading a victim to run a specially-crafted file, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause the application to crash.
CVSS Base Score: 3.3
CVSS Temporal Score: See https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/163760 for the current score
CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L)
CVEID: CVE-2019-12208
DESCRIPTION: NGINX njs is vulnerable to a heap-based buffer overflow, caused by improper bounds checking by the njs_function_native_call function in njs/njs_function.c. By sending overly long data, a remote attacker could overflow a buffer and execute arbitrary code on the system.
CVSS Base Score: 9.8
CVSS Temporal Score: See https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/161282 for the current score
CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H)
CVEID: CVE-2019-12207
DESCRIPTION: NGINX njs is vulnerable to a heap-based buffer overflow, caused by improper bounds checking by the nxt_utf8_encode function in nxt/nxt_utf8.c. By sending overly long data, a remote attacker could overflow a buffer and execute arbitrary code on the system.
CVSS Base Score: 9.8

CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H)
CVE-ID: CVE-2019-12206
DESCRIPTION: NGINX njs is vulnerable to a heap-based buffer overflow, caused by improper bounds checking by the nxt_utf8_encode function in nxt_utf8.c. By sending overly long data, a remote attacker could overflow a buffer and execute arbitrary code on the system.
