Summary
IBM Waston Explorer is affected by vulnerabilities in OpenSSL and IBM
Java Runtime.
Vulnerability Details
CVEID: CVE-2014-3513
DESCRIPTION: OpenSSL is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by
a memory leak in the DTLS Secure Real-time Transport Protocol (SRTP)
extension parsing code. By sending multiple specially-crafted handshake
messages, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to exhaust all
available memory of an SSL/TLS or DTLS server.
CVSS Base Score: 5
CVSS Temporal Score: See http://xforce.iss.net/xforce/xfdb/97035 for the
current score
CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined
CVSS Vector: (AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:P)
CVEID: CVE-2014-3568
DESCRIPTION: OpenSSL could allow a remote attacker bypass security
restrictions. When configured with "no-ssl3" as a build option, servers
could accept and complete a SSL 3.0 handshake. An attacker could exploit
this vulnerability to perform unauthorized actions.
CVSS Base Score: 2.6
CVSS Temporal Score: See http://xforce.iss.net/xforce/xfdb/97037 for the
current score
CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined
CVSS Vector: (AV:N/AC:H/Au:N/C:N/I:P/A:N)
CVEID: CVE-2014-3571
DESCRIPTION: OpenSSL is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by a
NULL pointer dereference when handling malicious messages. By sending
a specially-crafted DTLS message, a remote attacker could exploit this
vulnerability to cause a segmentation fault.
CVSS Base Score: 5
CVSS Temporal Score: See http://xforce.iss.net/xforce/xfdb/99703 for the
current score
CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined
CVSS Vector: (AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:P)
CVEID: CVE-2015-0206
DESCRIPTION: OpenSSL is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by a
memory leak in the dtls1_buffer_record function. By sending repeated DTLS
records with the same sequence number, a remote attacker could exploit
this vulnerability to exhaust all available memory resources
CVSS Base Score: 5
CVSS Temporal Score: See http://xforce.iss.net/xforce/xfdb/99704 for the
current score
CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined
CVSS Vector: (AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:P)
CVEID: CVE-2014-3567
DESCRIPTION: OpenSSL is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by
a memory leak when handling failed session ticket integrity checks. By
sending an overly large number of invalid session tickets, an attacker
could exploit this vulnerability to exhaust all available memory of an
SSL/TLS or DTLS server.
CVSS Base Score: 5
CVSS Temporal Score: See http://xforce.iss.net/xforce/xfdb/97036 for the
current score
CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined
CVSS Vector: (AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:P)
CVEID: CVE-2014-3566
DESCRIPTION: Product could allow a remote attacker to obtain sensitive
information, caused by a design error when using the SSLv3 protocol. A
remote user with the ability to conduct a man-in-the-middle attack could
exploit this vulnerability via a POODLE (Padding Oracle On Downgraded
Legacy Encryption) attack to decrypt SSL sessions and access the plaintext
of encrypted connections.
CVSS Base Score: 4.3
CVSS Temporal Score: See http://xforce.iss.net/xforce/xfdb/97013 for the
current score
CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined
CVSS Vector: (AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:P/I:N/A:N)
