Host Management. IBM Netezza Host Management has addressed the applicable
CVEs.
Vulnerability Details
CVEID:
CVE-2015-7547
DESCRIPTION:
GNU C Library (glibc) is vulnerable to a stack-based buffer overflow, caused
by improper bounds checking by the nss_dns backend for the getaddrinfo()
function when performing dual A/AAAA DNS queries. By sending a specially
crafted DNS response, a remote attacker could overflow a buffer and execute
arbitrary code on the system or cause the application to crash.
CVSS Base Score: 8.1
CVSS Temporal Score: See
https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/110662
for the current score
CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H)
CVEID:
CVE-2016-0701
DESCRIPTION:
OpenSSL could allow a remote attacker to conduct man-in-the-middle attacks,
caused by the use of weak Diffie-Hellman parameters based on unsafe primes
that are generated and stored in X9.42-style parameter files. By performing
multiple handshakes using the same private DH exponent, an attacker could
exploit this vulnerability to conduct man-in-the-middle attacks.
CVSS Base Score: 5.4
CVSS Temporal Score: See
https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/110234
for the current score
CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:N)
CVEID:
CVE-2015-3197
DESCRIPTION:
OpenSSL could allow a remote attacker to conduct man-in-the-middle attacks,
caused by an error related to the negotiation of disabled SSLv2 ciphers by
malicious SSL/TLS clients. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to
conduct man-in-the-middle attacks.
CVSS Base Score: 5.4
CVSS Temporal Score: See
https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/110235
for the current score
CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:N)
CVEID:
CVE-2015-8704
DESCRIPTION:
ISC BIND is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by improper bounds
checking in apl_42.c. By sending specially crafted Address Prefix List (APL)
data, a remote authenticated attacker could exploit this vulnerability to
trigger an INSIST assertion failure and cause the named process to terminate.
CVSS Base Score: 6.5
CVSS Temporal Score: See
https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/109701
