Security Bulletin

Summary

 IBM Netezza Host Management is affected by multiple Open Source security 
vulnerabilities in: GNU glibc, NTP address spoofing and NTP, NTPd and 
ntp_crypto.c disclosure.

Vulnerability Details

CVE-ID: CVE-2014-9297

Description: Network Time Protocol (NTP) Project NTP daemon (ntpd) could allow
a remote attacker to conduct spoofing attacks, caused by insufficient entropy
in PRNG. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to spoof the IPv6 
address ::1 to bypass ACLs and launch further attacks on the system.

CVSS Base Score: 5.000

CVSS Temporal Score: http://xforce.iss.net/xforce/xfdb/100004 for more 
information

CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined

CVSS Vector: (AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:P/A:N)

CVE-ID: CVE-2014-9298

Description: Network Time Protocol (NTP) Project NTP daemon (ntpd) could allow
a remote attacker to obtain sensitive information, caused by the improper 
validation of the length value in extension field pointers. An attacker could
exploit this vulnerability to obtain sensitive information.

CVSS Base Score: 5.000

CVSS Temporal Score: http://xforce.iss.net/xforce/xfdb/100005 for more 
information

CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined

CVSS Vector: (AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:N/A:N)

CVEID: CVE-2014-7817

Description: GNU C Library (glibc) could allow a local attacker to execute 
arbitrary commands on the system, caused by an error in the wordexp() 
function. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary 
commands on the system.

CVSS Base Score: 4.6

CVSS Temporal Score: See http://xforce.iss.net/xforce/xfdb/98852 for the 
current score

CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined

CVSS Vector: (AV:L/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P)

CVE-ID: CVE-2014-9750

Description: NTP NTPd could allow a remote attacker to obtain sensitive 
information, caused by an error in ntp_crypto.c when Autokey Authentication is
enabled. By sending a malformed packet, a remote attacker could exploit this 
vulnerability to obtain sensitive information or cause a denial of service.

CVSS Base Score: 4.800

CVSS Temporal Score: 
https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/109527 for more 
information

CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined

CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:L)

CVE-ID: CVE-2014-9751

Description: Network Time Protocol (NTP) could allow a remote attacker to 
conduct spoofing attacks, caused by the failure to properly determine whether
a source IP address is an IPv6 loopback address by the read_network_packet 
function. By sending a specially crafted packet, an attacker could exploit 
this vulnerability to spoof restricted packets.

CVSS Base Score: 5.300

CVSS Temporal Score: 
https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/109548 for more 
information
