Summary

Node.js used by the Cordova platform packaged with IBM Rational Application
Developer for WebSphere Software.
Vulnerability Details
CVE-ID: CVE-2014-3512
Description: OpenSSL is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by an
internal buffer overrun. A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability
using invalid SRP parameters sent from a malicious server or client to cause
a denial of service.
CVSS Base Score: 5
CVSS Temporal Score: See http://xforce.iss.net/xforce/xfdb/95158
CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined
CVSS Vector: (AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:P)
CVE-ID: CVE-2014-3509
Description: OpenSSL is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by a race
condition in the ssl_parse_serverhello_tlsext() code. If a multithreaded
client connects to a malicious server using a resumed session, a remote
attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause a denial of service.
CVSS Base Score: 4.3
CVSS Temporal Score: See http://xforce.iss.net/xforce/xfdb/95159
CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined
CVSS Vector: (AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:P)
CVE-ID: CVE-2014-3506
Description: OpenSSL is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by an error
when processing DTLS handshake messages. A remote attacker could exploit this
vulnerability to consume an overly large amount of memory.
CVSS Base Score: 5
CVSS Temporal Score: See http://xforce.iss.net/xforce/xfdb/95160
CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined
CVSS Vector: (AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:P)
CVE-ID: CVE-2014-3507
Description: OpenSSL is vulnerable to a denial of service. By sending
specially-crafted DTLS packets, a remote attacker could exploit this
vulnerability to leak memory and cause a denial of service.
CVSS Base Score: 5
CVSS Temporal Score: See http://xforce.iss.net/xforce/xfdb/95161
CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined
CVSS Vector: (AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:P)
CVE-ID: CVE-2014-3511
Description: OpenSSL could allow a remote attacker to bypass security
restrictions, caused by the negotiation of TLS 1.0 instead of higher protocol
versions by the OpenSSL SSL/TLS server code when handling a badly fragmented
ClientHello message. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability using
man-in-the-middle techniques to force a downgrade to TLS 1.0.
CVSS Base Score: 4.3
CVSS Temporal Score: See http://xforce.iss.net/xforce/xfdb/95162
CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined
CVSS Vector: (AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:N/I:P/A:N)
CVE-ID: CVE-2014-3505
Description: OpenSSL is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by a
double-free error when handling DTLS packets. A remote attacker could exploit
this vulnerability to cause the system to crash.
CVSS Base Score: 5
CVSS Temporal Score: See http://xforce.iss.net/xforce/xfdb/95163
CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined
CVSS Vector: (AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:P)
CVE-ID: CVE-2014-3510
Description: OpenSSL is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by a NULL
pointer dereference in anonymous ECDH ciphersuites. A remote attacker could
exploit this vulnerability using a malicious handshake to cause the client to
crash.
CVSS Base Score: 4.3
CVSS Temporal Score: See http://xforce.iss.net/xforce/xfdb/95164
CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined
CVSS Vector: (AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:P)
CVE-ID: CVE-2014-3508
Description: OpenSSL could allow a remote attacker to obtain sensitive
information, caused by an error in OBJ_obj2txt. If applications echo pretty
printing output, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to read
information from the stack.
CVSS Base Score: 4.3
CVSS Temporal Score: See http://xforce.iss.net/xforce/xfdb/95165
CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined
CVSS Vector: (AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:P/I:N/A:N)
CVE-ID : CVE-2014-5139
Description: OpenSSL is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by a NULL
pointer dereference when an SRP ciphersuite is specified without being
properly negotiated with the client. A remote attacker could exploit this
vulnerability to cause the client to crash.
CVSS Base Score: 5
CVSS Temporal Score: See http://xforce.iss.net/xforce/xfdb/95166
CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined
CVSS Vector: (AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:P)
CVE-ID: CVE-2014-5256
Description: Node.js 0.8 before 0.8.28 and 0.10 before 0.10.30 does not
consider the possibility of recursive processing that triggers V8 garbage
collection in conjunction with a V8 interrupt, which allows remote attackers
to cause a denial of service (memory corruption and application crash) via
deep JSON objects whose parsing lets this interrupt mask an overflow of the
program stack.
CVSS Base Score: 5.0
CVSS Temporal Score: See http://xforce.iss.net/xforce/xfdb/95057
CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined
CVSS Vector: (AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:P)
