Security Bulletin: Vulnerabilities in PostgreSQL, Node.js, and Data Tables from Spry Media may affect IBM Spectrum Protect Plus

Security Bulletin


Summary

Vulnerabilities in PostgreSQL, Node.js, and Data Tables from Spry Media such as SQL injection, HTTP request smuggling, cross-site scripting, bypass of security restrictions, and weaker than expected security, may affect IBM Spectrum Protect Plus.

Vulnerability Details

CVEID:   CVE-2021-23214
DESCRIPTION:   PostgreSQL is vulnerable to SQL injection. A remote attacker could send specially-crafted SQL statements when the server is configured to use trust authentication with a clientcert requirement or to use cert authentication, which could allow the attacker to view, add, modify or delete information in the back-end database.
CVSS Base score: 8.1
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/213379 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H)

CVEID:   CVE-2021-22959
DESCRIPTION:   Node.js is vulnerable to HTTP request smuggling, caused by an error related to a space in headers. A remote attacker could send a specially-crafted request with a space (SP) right after the header name before the colon to lead to HTTP Request Smuggling (HRS). An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to poison the web cache, bypass web application firewall protection, and conduct XSS attacks.
CVSS Base score: 6.5
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/211168 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:N)

CVEID:   CVE-2021-23445
DESCRIPTION:   datatables.net is vulnerable to cross-site scripting, caused by improper validation of user-supplied input. A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to inject malicious script into a web page which would be executed in a victim's Web browser within the security context of the hosting Web site, once the page is viewed. An attacker could use this vulnerability to steal the victim's cookie-based authentication credentials.
CVSS Base score: 7.2
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/210144 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N)

CVEID:   CVE-2021-44532
DESCRIPTION:   Node.js could allow a remote attacker to bypass security restrictions, caused by a string injection vulnerability when name constraints were used within a certificate chain. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to bypass the name constraints.
CVSS Base score: 5.3
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/216931 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N)

CVEID:   CVE-2021-44531
DESCRIPTION:   Node.js could allow a remote attacker to bypass security restrictions, caused by the improper handling of URI Subject Alternative Name (SAN) types. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to bypass name-constrained intermediates.
CVSS Base score: 5.3
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/216930 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N)

CVEID:   CVE-2022-21824
DESCRIPTION:   Node.js could provide weaker than expected security, caused by an error related to the formatting logic of the console.table() function. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability using console.table properties to allow an empty string to be assigned to numerical keys of the object prototype.
CVSS Base score: 5.3
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/216933 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N)

CVEID:   CVE-2021-22960
DESCRIPTION:   Node.js is vulnerable to HTTP request smuggling, caused by an error when parsing the body of chunked requests. A remote attacker could send a specially-crafted request to lead to HTTP Request Smuggling (HRS). An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to poison the web cache, bypass web application firewall protection, and conduct XSS attacks.
CVSS Base score: 6.5
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/211171 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:N)

CVEID:   CVE-2021-44533
DESCRIPTION:   Node.js could allow a remote attacker to bypass security restrictions, caused by the incorrect handling of multi-value Relative Distinguished Names. By crafting certificate subjects containing a single-value Relative Distinguished Name that would be interpreted as a multi-value Relative Distinguished Name, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to bypass the certificate subject verification.
CVSS Base score: 5.3
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/216932 for the current score.
