SB20250521131 - Multiple vulnerabilities in IBM Security QRadar EDR

Description

This security bulletin contains information about 6 secuirty vulnerabilities.

1) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-22869)

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

The vulnerability exists due to application does not properly control consumption of internal resources within the ssh package when handling clients that complete the key exchange slowly, or not at all. A remote user can trigger resource exhaustion and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

2) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-22870)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to alter application's behavior.

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of an IPv6 zone ID as a hostname component, when matching hosts against proxy patterns. For instance the NO_PROXY environment variable is set to "*.example.com", a request to "[::1%25.example.com]:80` will incorrectly match and not be proxied. A remote attacker can alter application behavior and potentially  gain access to sensitive information or functionality.

3) Improper authorization (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-45337)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain unauthorized access to the application.

The vulnerability exists due to improper authorization caused by improper usage of the ServerConfig.PublicKeyCallback callback. A remote attacker can bypass authorization in certain cases and gain access to the application.

4) Out-of-bounds write (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-27363)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise vulnerable system.

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error when processing untrusted input. A remote attacker can pass a specially crafted font to the application that is using an affected version of the library, trigger an out-of-bounds write and execute arbitrary code on the target system.

5) Improper authentication (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-12797)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform MitM attack.

The vulnerability exists due to an error when using RFC7250 Raw Public Keys (RPKs) to authenticate a server. TLS and DTLS connections using raw public keys are vulnerable to man-in-middle attacks when server authentication failure is not detected by clients.

Note, the vulnerability can be exploited only when TLS clients explicitly enable RPK use by the server, and the server, likewise, enables sending of an RPK instead of an X.509 certificate chain.

6) Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-27152)

The disclosed vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform SSRF attacks.

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted HTTP request and trick the application to initiate requests to arbitrary systems.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may allow a remote attacker gain access to sensitive data, located in the local network or send malicious requests to other servers from the vulnerable system.
