CVEs.
Vulnerability Details
CVEID: CVE-2017-3735
DESCRIPTION: OpenSSL could allow a remote attacker to obtain sensitive
information, caused by an error while parsing an IPAdressFamily extension in an
X.509 certificate. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to trigger an
out-of-bounds read, resulting in an incorrect text display of the certificate.
CVSS Base Score: 4.3
CVSS Temporal Score: See https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/
131047 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-2017-3736
DESCRIPTION: OpenSSL could allow a remote attacker to obtain sensitive
information, caused by a carry propagation flaw in 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: See https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/
134397 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:N/A:N)
CVEID: CVE-2017-15671
DESCRIPTION: GNU C Library is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by a
memory leak in the glob function in glob.c. A remote attacker could exploit
this vulnerability to cause a denial of service condition.
CVSS Base Score: 7.5
CVSS Temporal Score: See https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/

CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H)
CVEID: CVE-2017-15670
DESCRIPTION: GNU C Library is vulnerable to a heap-based buffer overflow,
caused by improper bounds checking by the glob function in glob.c. By sending a
specially-crafted string, a remote attacker could overflow a buffer and execute
arbitrary code on the system.
CVSS Base Score: 7.3
