Security Bulletin: Potential Denial of Service (DoS) security vulnerability in
IBM Rational Synergy
Flash (Alert)
Abstract
Potential Denial of Service (DoS) security vulnerability in IBM Rational
Synergy due to a Java HashTable security vulnerability in Jetty
(CVE-2011-4461).
Content
VULNERABILITY DETAILS:
CVE ID: CVE-2011-4461
DESCRIPTION: IBM Rational Synergy is potentially vulnerable to Denial of
Service attacks because one of its embedded components, Jetty, has a security
vulnerability. The vulnerability is caused by insufficient randomization of
hash data structures. A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to
cause the consumption of CPU resources. Customers who are using IBM Rational
Synergy may be impacted by this Jetty vulnerability which can cause
performance or Denial of
Service (DoS) issues.

current score
CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined
CVSS Vector: (AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:P)
Affected Platforms: All Rational Synergy supported platforms
Remediation: Rational Synergy 7.2.0.X users should upgrade to Rational Synergy
version 7.2.0.3 (Rational Synergy 7.2.0.3) and Rational Synergy 7.1.0.X users
should move to Rational Synergy version 7.1.0.6 (Rational Synergy 7.1.0.6)
Workarounds: None known; apply fixes
