Security Bulletin
Summary
The IBM Emptoris Strategic Supply Management suite of products, including IBM
Emptoris Contract Management, IBM Emptoris Sourcing, IBM Emptoris Strategic
Supply Management Platform and IBM Emptoris Program Management are affected
by multiple security vulnerabilities related to XML DoS vulnerabilities
in the consumed 3rd party APIs: Apache POI API and NextApp Echo API.
Vulnerability Details
CVEID: CVE-2014-6212
DESCRIPTION: IBM Emptoris Strategic Supply Management Platform, IBM
Emptoris Program Management, could allow a remote attacker to obtain
sensitive information, caused by an XML External Entity Injection (XXE)
error when processing XML data in Echo API. By sending specially-crafted
XML data, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to obtain local
system files and other sensitive information.
CVSS Base Score: 3.5
CVSS Temporal Score: See http://xforce.iss.net/xforce/xfdb/98689 for the
current score
CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined
CVSS Vector: (AV:N/AC:M/Au:S/C:P/I:N/A:N)
CVEID: CVE-2014-3529
DESCRIPTION: Apache POI is consumed by IBM Emptoris Contract Management,
IBM Emptoris Sourcing, IBM Emptoris Strategic Supply Management Platform
and IBM Emptoris Program Management. Apache POI could allow a remote
attacker to obtain sensitive information, caused by an XML External Entity
Injection (XXE) error within the OPC SAX setup. An attacker could exploit
this vulnerability using a specially-crafted OpenXML file containing an
XML external entity declaration to read arbitrary files on the system.
CVSS Base Score: 5
CVSS Temporal Score: See http://xforce.iss.net/xforce/xfdb/95770 for the
current score
CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined
CVSS Vector: (AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:N/A:N)
CVEID: CVE-2014-3574
DESCRIPTION: Apache POI is consumed by IBM Emptoris Contract Management,
IBM Emptoris Sourcing, IBM Emptoris Strategic Supply Management Platform
and IBM Emptoris Program Management. Apache POI is vulnerable to a denial
of service, caused by an XML External Entity Injection (XXE) error when
processing XML data. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability using
a specially-crafted OOXML file to consume all available CPU resources and
cause a denial of service.
CVSS Base Score: 4.3
CVSS Temporal Score: See http://xforce.iss.net/xforce/xfdb/95768 for the
current score
CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined
CVSS Vector: (AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:P)
