Security Bulletin: A vulnerability in Apache XML Security for Java affects IBM Tivoli Business Service Manager (CVE-2013-4517, CVE-2013-2172, CVE-2009-0217, CVE-2021-40690)

CVEID:   CVE-2013-4517
DESCRIPTION:   Apache Santuario XML Security for Java is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by an out of memory error when allowing Document Type Definitions (DTDs). A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability via XML Signature transforms to cause a denial of service.
CVSS Base score: 5
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/89891 for the current score.

CVEID:   CVE-2013-2172
DESCRIPTION:   Apache Santuario XML Security for Java could allow a remote attacker to conduct spoofing attacks, caused by the failure to restrict canonicalization algorithms to be applied to the CanonicalizationMethod parameter. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to spoof the XML signature.
CVSS Base score: 4.3
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/85323 for the current score.

CVEID:   CVE-2009-0217
DESCRIPTION:   Multiple vendor applications that utilize the W3C XML Signature Syntax and Processing (XMLDsig) recommendation could allow a remote attacker to conduct spoofing attacks on the system. The parameter used by the design defines HMAC truncation length without a minimum length requirement. A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability using an HMAC truncated length containing a small amount of bits to spoof HMAC-based signatures, bypass authentication and launch further attacks against the system.
CVSS Base score: 4.3

CVEID:   CVE-2021-40690
DESCRIPTION:   Apache Santuario XML Security for Java could allow a remote attacker to bypass security restrictions, caused by the improper passing of the "secureValidation" property when creating a KeyInfo from a KeyInfoReference element. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to abuse an XPath Transform to extract any local .xml files in a RetrievalMethod element.
