Description

This security bulletin contains information about 9 secuirty vulnerabilities.


1) Cross-site scripting (CVE-ID: CVE-2014-6125)

The disclosed vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks.

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient sanitization of user-supplied data in IBM WebSphere Portal 8.5.0 before CF03. A remote attacker can trick the victim to follow a specially crafted link and execute arbitrary HTML and script code in user's browser in context of vulnerable website.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may allow a remote attacker to steal potentially sensitive information, change appearance of the web page, perform phishing and drive-by-download attacks.


2) Cross-site scripting (CVE-ID: CVE-2014-6126)

Vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform XSS attacks.

The vulnerability is caused by an input validation error in IBM WebSphere Portal 8.5.0 before CF03. A remote attacker can trick the victim to follow a specially crafted link and execute arbitrary HTML and script code in victim's browser in security context of vulnerable website.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may allow a remote attacker to steal potentially sensitive information, change appearance of the web page, perform phishing and drive-by-download attacks.


3) Resource management error (CVE-ID: CVE-2014-4814)

The vulnerability allows a remote #AU# to perform service disruption.

IBM WebSphere Portal 6.1.0 through 6.1.0.6 CF27, 6.1.5 through 6.1.5.3 CF27, 7.0 through 7.0.0.2 CF28, 8.0 through 8.0.0.1 CF14, and 8.5.0 before CF03 does not properly detect recursion during entity expansion, which allows remote authenticated users to cause a denial of service (memory and CPU consumption) via a crafted XML document containing a large number of nested entity references, a similar issue to CVE-2003-1564.


4) Information disclosure (CVE-ID: CVE-2014-4821)

The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to gain access to sensitive information.

IBM WebSphere Portal 6.1.0 through 6.1.0.6 CF27, 6.1.5 through 6.1.5.3 CF27, 7.0 through 7.0.0.2 CF28, 8.0 through 8.0.0.1 CF14, and 8.5.0 before CF03 provides different web-server error codes depending on whether a requested file exists, which allows remote attackers to determine the validity of filenames via a series of requests.


5) Information disclosure (CVE-ID: CVE-2014-4761)

The vulnerability allows a remote #AU# to gain access to sensitive information.

IBM WebSphere Portal 6.1.0 through 6.1.0.6 CF27, 6.1.5 through 6.1.5.3 CF27, 7.0 through 7.0.0.2 CF28, 8.0 before 8.0.0.1 CF14, and 8.5.0 through 8.5.0.0 CF02 allows remote authenticated users to discover credentials by reading HTML source code.


6) Cross-site scripting (CVE-ID: CVE-2014-4762)

Vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform XSS attacks.

The vulnerability is caused by an input validation error in IBM WebSphere Portal 8.0.0 through 8.0.0.1 CF13 and 8.5.0 before CF02. A remote authenticated attacker can trick the victim to follow a specially crafted link and execute arbitrary HTML and script code in victim's browser in security context of vulnerable website.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may allow a remote attacker to steal potentially sensitive information, change appearance of the web page, perform phishing and drive-by-download attacks.


7) Resource management error (CVE-ID: CVE-2014-4792)

The vulnerability allows a remote #AU# to perform service disruption.

IBM WebSphere Portal 6.1.0 through 6.1.0.6 CF27, 6.1.5 through 6.1.5.3 CF27, 7.0.0 through 7.0.0.2 CF28, 8.0.0 through 8.0.0.1 CF13, and 8.5.0 before CF02 allows remote authenticated users to cause a denial of service (disk consumption) by uploading large files.


8) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2014-4760)

The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to read and manipulate data.

Open redirect vulnerability in IBM WebSphere Portal 6.1.0.0 through 6.1.0.6 CF27, 6.1.5.0 through 6.1.5.3 CF27, 7.0.0 through 7.0.0.2 CF28, 8.0.0 before 8.0.0.1 CF13, and 8.5.0 before CF01 allows remote attackers to redirect users to arbitrary web sites and conduct phishing attacks via a crafted URL. <a href="http://cwe.mitre.org/data/definitions/601.html" target="_blank">CWE-601: URL Redirection to Untrusted Site ('Open Redirect')</a>


9) Information disclosure (CVE-ID: CVE-2014-4746)

The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to gain access to sensitive information.

IBM WebSphere Portal 8.0.0 before 8.0.0.1 CF13 and 8.5.0 through CF01 provides different error codes for firewall-traversal requests depending on whether the intranet host exists, which allows remote attackers to map the intranet network via a series of requests.
