Security Bulletin
Summary
Multiple vulnerabilities were addressed in ITNM version 4.2 Fix Pack 21 (4.2.0.21)
Vulnerability Details
CVEID: CVE-2024-7254
DESCRIPTION: Any project that parses untrusted Protocol Buffers data containing an arbitrary number of nested groups / series of SGROUP tags can corrupted by exceeding the stack limit i.e. StackOverflow. Parsing nested groups as unknown fields with DiscardUnknownFieldsParser or Java Protobuf Lite parser, or against Protobuf map fields, creates unbounded recursions that can be abused by an attacker.

CVEID: CVE-2014-10402
DESCRIPTION: DBI module for Perl could allow a remote attacker to obtain sensitive information, caused by a flaw in the DBD::File drivers. By using the f_dir attribute in the data source name (DSN), an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to open files from folders other than those specifically passed and use this information to launch further attacks against the affected system.

CVSS Source: CISA ADP
CVSS Base score: 7.3
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:L)
CVEID: CVE-2023-31484
DESCRIPTION: CPAN.pm is vulnerable to a man-in-the-middle attack, caused by improper validation of TLS certificates when downloading distributions over HTTPS. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to launch a man-in-the-middle attack and gain access to the communication channel between endpoints to obtain sensitive information or further compromise the system.

CVEID: CVE-2024-45491
DESCRIPTION: libexpat could allow a local attacker to execute arbitrary code on the system, caused by an integer overflow in the dtdCopy function in xmlparse.c. By sending a specially crafted request, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code on the system.
CWE: CWE-190: Integer Overflow or Wraparound
CVSS Source: CISA ADP
CVSS Base score: 7.3
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:L)
CVEID: CVE-2018-12015
DESCRIPTION: Perl could allow a remote attacker to traverse directories on the system, caused by improper validation of user request by the Archive::Tar module. An attacker could send a specially-crafted request containing "dot dot" sequences (/../) to overwrite arbitrary files on the system.
CWE: CWE-59: Improper Link Resolution Before File Access ('Link Following')
CVSS Source: IBM X-Force
CVSS Base score: 7.5

DESCRIPTION: Apache Commons IO is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by an uncontrolled resource consumption flaw in the org.apache.commons.io.input.XmlStreamReader class. By sending a specially crafted input, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause a denial of service condition.
CWE: CWE-400: Uncontrolled Resource Consumption
CVSS Source: IBM X-Force
CVSS Base score: 5.3

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.
