Security Bulletin Document information More support for: IBM Security QRadar SIEM Software version: 7.1, 7.2 Operating system(s): Linux Software edition: All Editions Reference #: 1994719 Modified date: 05 December 2016 Summary Vulnerabilities affecting Apache Poi as used in IBM QRadar SIEM Vulnerability Details CVE-ID: 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: 5.0 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 CVE-ID: 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: 5.0 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 CVE-ID: 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 CVE-ID: 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.
