Description
This security bulletin contains information about 11 secuirty vulnerabilities.
1) Integer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2011-3026)
The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to read and manipulate data.
Integer overflow in libpng, as used in Google Chrome before 17.0.963.56, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly have unspecified other impact via unknown vectors that trigger an integer truncation.
2) Resource management error (CVE-ID: CVE-2011-4858)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to improper management of internal resources within the application. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted data to the application and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
3) Code Injection (CVE-ID: CVE-2012-0498)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted request and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
4) Cross-site scripting (CVE-ID: CVE-2012-2177)
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. The vulnerability allows user-assisted remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via vectors related to the search feature.
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.
5) Cross-site scripting (CVE-ID: CVE-2012-2193)
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. The vulnerability allows user-assisted remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via unspecified vectors.
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.
6) Cross-site scripting (CVE-ID: CVE-2012-4835)
Vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform XSS attacks.
The vulnerability is caused by an input validation error in IBM Cognos Business Intelligence (BI). 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.
7) Cross-site scripting (CVE-ID: CVE-2012-4836)
Vulnerability allows a remote user to perform XSS attacks.
The vulnerability is caused by an input validation error in IBM Cognos Business Intelligence (BI). A remote user 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.
8) Information disclosure (CVE-ID: CVE-2012-4837)
The vulnerability allows a remote user to gain access to potentially sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to excessive data output by the application. A remote user can conduct XPath injection attacks, and read arbitrary XML files via unspecified vectors.
9) Code Injection (CVE-ID: CVE-2012-4840)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to modify files on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation. A remote attacker can perform XPath injection attacks, and call XPath extension functions via unspecified vectors.
10) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2012-4858)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted input to the application and execute arbitrary code on the system.
11) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2012-5081)
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. A remote attacker can trigger resource exhaustion and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
