Multiple Apache POI vulnerabilities affect IBM PredictiveInsight.
Vulnerability Details
CVEID:
CVE-2012-0213
DESCRIPTION:
Apache POI is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by the improper
handling of memory when processing certain Channel Definition Format (CDF)/
Compound File Binary Format (CFBF) documents. By sending a specially-crafted
CDF / CFBF file to an application using Apache POI, a remote attacker could
exploit this vulnerability to cause a denial of service.
CVSS Base Score: 5
CVSS Temporal Score: See
https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/75558
for the current score
CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined
CVSS Vector: (AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:P)
CVEID:
CVE-2014-3574
DESCRIPTION:
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
https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/95768
for the current score
CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined
CVSS Vector: (AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:P)
CVEID:
CVE-2014-3529
DESCRIPTION:
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
https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/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-2014-9527
DESCRIPTION:
Apache POI is vulnerable to a denial of service. An attacker could exploit
this vulnerability using a specially-crafted PPT file to cause the
application to enter into an infinite loop and deadlock.
CVSS Base Score: 5
CVSS Temporal Score: See
https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/99799
for the current score
CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined
CVSS Vector: (AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:P)
CVEID:
CVE-2016-5000
DESCRIPTION:
Apache POI could allow a remote attacker to obtain sensitive information,
caused by an XML External Entity Injection (XXE) error when XLSX2CSV example
uses Java's XML components to parse OpenXML files. An attacker could exploit
this vulnerability using an XML document containing an external entity
reference to read arbitrary files on the system.
CVSS Base Score: 4.3
