Abstract

IBM Sterling Control Center has various Denial-of-Service (DOS) and Cross Site 
Scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities.

Content

VULNERABILITY DETAILS:
CVE ID: CVE-2013-2968

DESCRIPTION: - Denial of Service
IBM Sterling Control Center (SCC) uses a buffer read method which can 
potentially result in a Denial of Service (DoS) if a user causes SCC to read a 
file and the file is large and has no EOL characters.

CVSS Base Score: 6.3
CVSS Temporal Score: See http://xforce.iss.net/xforce/xfdb/83859 for the 
current score
CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined
CVSS Vector: (AV:N/AC:M/AU:S/C:N/I:N/A:C)


CVE ID: CVE-2013-2969

DESCRIPTION: - Cross Site Scripting
IBM Sterling Control Center allows some invalid characters to be returned to 
the user, whereby a cross-site scripting (XSS) attack could occur. When a web 
application uses input from a user in the output it generates without 
filtering it, an attacker can insert an attack in that input and the web 
application sends the attack to other users.

CVSS Base Score: 3.5
CVSS Temporal Score: See http://xforce.iss.net/xforce/xfdb/83860 for the 
current score
CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined
CVSS Vector: (AV:N/AC:M/AU:S/C:N/I:P/A:N) 


AFFECTED PRODUCTS AND VERSIONS: 
IBM Sterling Control Center 5.4 through 5.4.0.1
