Security Bulletin
Summary
A security vulnerability in NGINX ffects IBM Cloud Automation Manager.
Vulnerability Details
CVEID: CVE-2021-3618
DESCRIPTION: Sendmail, vsftpd and NGINX could provide weaker than expected security, caused by an ALPACA (application layer protocol content confusion) attack, which exploits TLS servers implementing different protocols but using compatible certificates. By using man-in the-middle attack techniques, a remote attacker with access to victim's traffic at the TCP/IP layer could redirect traffic from one subdomain to another, resulting in a valid TLS session. The session breaks the authentication of TLS and the packages become vulnerable to cross-protocol attacks.
