Description

This security bulletin contains information about 11 secuirty vulnerabilities.


1) Code Injection (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-2161)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.

The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation in the java.lang.ProcessBuilder API on the Windows platform. A remote attacker can manipulate the Process command line and execute arbitrary code on the target system.



2) Improper input validation (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-14797)

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

The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation within the Libraries component in Java SE Embedded. A remote non-authenticated attacker can exploit this vulnerability to manipulate data.


3) Improper input validation (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-14779)

The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to perform service disruption.

The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation within the Serialization component in Java SE Embedded. A remote non-authenticated attacker can exploit this vulnerability to perform service disruption.


4) Improper input validation (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-14796)

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

The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation within the Libraries component in Java SE Embedded. A remote non-authenticated attacker can exploit this vulnerability to gain access to sensitive information.


5) Stack-based buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-27221)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error when the virtual machine or JNI natives are converting from UTF-8 characters to platform encoding. A remote unauthenticated attacker can trigger a stack-based buffer overflow and execute arbitrary code on the target system.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.


6) Improper input validation (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-14782)

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

The vulnerability exists due to an error in CertPath implementation within the Libraries component in Java SE Embedded. A remote non-authenticated attacker can exploit this vulnerability to manipulate data.


7) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-35517)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to application does not properly control consumption of internal resources when processing TAR archives. A remote attacker can trigger resource exhaustion and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


8) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-36090)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to application does not properly control consumption of internal resources when processing ZIP archives. A remote attacker can trigger resource exhaustion and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


9) Improper input validation (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-2388)

The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code.

The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation within the Hotspot component in Oracle GraalVM Enterprise Edition. A remote non-authenticated attacker can exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code.


10) Improper Verification of Cryptographic Signature (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-2369)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass implemented security restrictions.

The vulnerability exists due to an error in JAR validation implementation. A remote attacker can modify the signed JAR file in a way it will be considered as signed.


11) Improper Authentication (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-38892)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass authentication process.

The vulnerability exists due to DQM API allows submitting of all control requests in unauthenticated sessions. A remote attacker can access a valid PA endpoint to read and write files to the IBM Planning Analytics system.

Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may result in complete compromise of the system.
