A version of GnuTLS that is vulnerable to the issue is included in past versions of IBM Platform Cluster Manager - Standard Edition. The latest version of GnuTLS addresses the vulnerabilities and can be applied through the fix detailed in the Remediation section. Content Vulnerability Details CVEID: CVE-2014-0092 DESCRIPTION: GnuTLS could allow a remote attacker to bypass security restrictions, caused by an error when verifying unspecified certificates. By persuading a victim to visit a specially-crafted Web site, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to bypass certificate validation checks and gain access to the system. CVE-2014-0092 CVSS Base Score: 4.3 CVSS Temporal Score: See http://xforce.iss.net/xforce/xfdb/91486 for the current score CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined CVSS Vector: (AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:N/I:P/A:N) CVEID: CVE-2009-5138 DESCRIPTION: GnuTLS could allow a remote attacker to bypass security restrictions, caused by the acceptance of version 1 X.509 certificates as intermediate CAs when using default certificate verification settings. By persuading a victim to visit a specially-crafted Web site, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to generate certificates for other hosts or users that would be accepted by GnuTLS.
