Security Bulletin

Summary

Security vulnerabilities were disclosed on Nov 1, 2017 and Dec 6, 2017 by the
OpenSSL Project. OpenSSl is used by IBM Sterling Connect:Express for UNIX. IBM
Sterling Connect:Express for UNIX has addressed the applicable CVEs.

Vulnerability Details

CVE-ID: CVE-2017-3736
Description: OpenSSL could allow a remote attacker to obtain sensitive
information, caused by a carry propagation flaw in the the x86_64 Montgomery
squaring function bn_sqrx8x_internal(). An attacker with online access to an
unpatched system could exploit this vulnerability to obtain information about
the private key.

CVSS Base Score: 5.9
CVSS Temporal Score: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/
134397 for more information
CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N)

CVE-ID: CVE-2017-3737

Description: An unspecified vulnerability in multiple Oracle products could
allow an unauthenticated attacker to cause low confidentiality impact, low
integrity impact, and high availability impact.

CVSS Base Score: 5.3
CVSS Temporal Score: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/
136077 for more informationCVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N)

CVE-ID: CVE-2017-3736

Description: OpenSSL could allow a remote attacker to obtain sensitive
information, caused by an overflow bug in the AVX2 Montgomery multiplication
procedure used in exponentiation with 1024-bit moduli. An attacker could
exploit this vulnerability to obtain information about the private key.
Note: In order to exploit this vulnerability, the server would have to share
the DH1024 private key among multiple clients, which is no longer an option
since CVE-2016-0701.

CVSS Base Score: 3.1
CVSS Temporal Score: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/
136078 for more information
CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined
