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 IBM Sterling Control Center 5.3 through 5.3.0.3 IBM Sterling Control Center 5.2 through 5.2.0.8 REMEDIATION: The recommended solution is to upgrade to the current release as soon as practical.
