Description
This security bulletin contains information about 6 secuirty vulnerabilities.
1) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-3651)
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 within the idna.encode() function. A remote attacker can pass an overly long domain name to the application and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
2) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-25062)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise vulnerable system.
The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free error in xmlValidatePopElement when using the XML Reader interface with DTD validation and XInclude expansion enabled. A remote attacker can pass a specially crafted XML document to the application, trigger a use-after-free error and execute arbitrary code on the system.
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may allow an attacker to compromise vulnerable system.
3) Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-25032)
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.
4) Resource management error (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-4603)
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 when checking DSA keys and parameters. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted data to the application and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
5) Cross-site scripting (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-0917)
The disclosed vulnerability allows a remote privileged user to perform cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient sanitization of user-supplied data. The vulnerability allows a privileged user to embed arbitrary JavaScript code in the Web UI thus altering the intended functionality potentially leading to credentials disclosure within a trusted session.
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) Inclusion of Sensitive Information in Source Code (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-0923)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to potentially sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to IBM Cognos Analytics stores source code on the web server. A remote attacker can gain unauthorized access to sensitive information on the system.
