Security Bulletin
Summary
A potential security vulnerability exists in IBM Rational Performance Tester
related to OpenSAML. OpenSAML could allow a remote authenticated attacker to
obtain sensitive information, caused by an error when parsing XML entities. By
persuading a victim to open a specially-crafted XML document containing
external entity references, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to
obtain sensitive information. The vulnerability has been eliminated in the
latest version of IBM Rational Performance Tester.
Vulnerability Details
CVE ID: CVE-2013-6440
Description: OpenSAML could allow a remote authenticated attacker to obtain
sensitive information, caused by an error when parsing XML entities.
CVSS Base Score: 4.3
CVSS Temporal Score: See http://xforce.iss.net/xforce/xfdb/89714 for the
current score
CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined
CVSS Vector: (AV:N/AC:M/Au:S/C:N/I:P/A:N)
Affected Products
Rational Performance Tester versions 8.2.x, 8.3.x, 8.5.x.
Remediation/Fixes
Upgrade to Rational Performance Tester Fix Pack 2 (8.5.1.2) for 8.5.1
