Security Bulletin: A vulnerability in OpenSSL affects IBM Cognos Metrics Manager
(CVE-2016-2106, CVE-2016-2107, CVE-2016-2108)
Security Bulletin
Document information
More support for:
Cognos Business Intelligence
Metrics Studio
Software version:
10.1.1, 10.2, 10.2.1, 10.2.2
Operating system(s):
AIX, HP-UX, Linux, Solaris, Windows
Reference #:
1977114
Modified date:
2016-07-05
Summary
OpenSSL vulnerabilities were disclosed on May 3, 2016 by the OpenSSL Project.
OpenSSL is used by IBM Cognos Metrics Manager. IBM Cognos Metrics Manager has
addressed the applicable CVEs.
Vulnerability Details
CVEID:
CVE-2016-2108
DESCRIPTION:
OpenSSL could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the
system, caused by a buffer underflow when deserializing untrusted ASN.1
structures and later reserializes them. An attacker could exploit this
vulnerability to corrupt memory and trigger an out-of-bounds write and
execute arbitrary code on the system.
CVSS Base Score: 8.1
CVSS Temporal Score: See
https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/112853
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-2016-2107
DESCRIPTION:
OpenSSL could allow a remote attacker to obtain sensitive information, caused
by an error when the connection uses an AES CBC cipher and the server support
AES-NI. A remote user with the ability to conduct a man-in-the-middle attack
could exploit this vulnerability via the POODLE (Padding Oracle On Downgraded
Legacy Encryption) attack to decrypt traffic.
CVSS Base Score: 4.3
CVSS Temporal Score: See
https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/112854
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:N/A:N)
CVEID:
CVE-2016-2106
DESCRIPTION:
OpenSSL is vulnerable to a heap-based buffer overflow, caused by improper
bounds checking by the EVP_EncryptUpdate() function. By sending an overly
long argument, a remote attacker could overflow a buffer and execute
arbitrary code on the system or cause the application to crash.
CVSS Base Score: 5.6
CVSS Temporal Score: See
https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/112856
