Security Bulletin: IBM Master Data Management vulnerable to remote attack and denial of service from vulnerabilites in OpenSSL (CVE-2022-4304, CVE-2023-0215, CVE-2023-0286)

Security Bulletin

Summary

IBM Master Data Management v11.6, and v12.0 are vulnerable to remote attack and denial of service from vulnerabilites found in OpenSSL. OpenSSL could allow a remote attacker to obtain sensitive information, caused by a timing-based side channel in the RSA Decryption implementation. By sending an overly large number of trial messages for decryption, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to obtain sensitive information. OpenSSL is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by a use-after-free error related to the incorrect handling of streaming ASN.1 data by the BIO_new_NDEF function. A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause a denial of service. OpenSSL is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by a type confusion error related to X.400 address processing inside an X.509 GeneralName. By passing arbitrary pointers to a memcmp call, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to read memory contents or cause a denial of service.

Vulnerability Details

CVEID: CVE-2022-4304
DESCRIPTION: OpenSSL could allow a remote attacker to obtain sensitive information, caused by a timing-based side channel in the RSA Decryption implementation. By sending an overly large number of trial messages for decryption, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to obtain sensitive information.
CWE: CWE-208: Observable Timing Discrepancy
CVSS Source: IBM X-Force
CVSS Base score: 5.9
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N)

CVEID: CVE-2023-0215
DESCRIPTION: OpenSSL is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by a use-after-free error related to the incorrect handling of streaming ASN.1 data by the BIO_new_NDEF function. A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause a denial of service.
CWE: CWE-416: Use After Free
CVSS Source: IBM X-Force
CVSS Base score: 7.5
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H)

CVEID: CVE-2023-0286
DESCRIPTION: OpenSSL is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by a type confusion error related to X.400 address processing inside an X.509 GeneralName. By passing arbitrary pointers to a memcmp call, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to read memory contents or cause a denial of service.
CWE: CWE-843: Access of Resource Using Incompatible Type ('Type Confusion')
CVSS Source: IBM X-Force
CVSS Base score: 8.2
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:H)

Disclaimer

According to the Forum of Incident Response and Security Teams (FIRST), the Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) is an "industry open standard designed to convey vulnerability severity and help to determine urgency and priority of response." IBM PROVIDES THE CVSS SCORES ""AS IS"" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. CUSTOMERS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR ASSESSING THE IMPACT OF ANY ACTUAL OR POTENTIAL SECURITY VULNERABILITY. In addition to other efforts to address potential vulnerabilities, IBM periodically updates the record of components contained in our product offerings. As part of that effort, if IBM identifies previously unidentified packages in a product/service inventory, we address relevant vulnerabilities regardless of CVE date. Inclusion of an older CVEID does not demonstrate that the referenced product has been used by IBM since that date, nor that IBM was aware of a vulnerability as of that date. We are making clients aware of relevant vulnerabilities as we become aware of them. "Affected Products and Versions" referenced in IBM Security Bulletins are intended to be only products and versions that are supported by IBM and have not passed their end-of-support or warranty date. Thus, failure to reference unsupported or extended-support products and versions in this Security Bulletin does not constitute a determination by IBM that they are unaffected by the vulnerability. Reference to one or more unsupported versions in this Security Bulletin shall not create an obligation for IBM to provide fixes for any unsupported or extended-support products or versions.
