Security Bulletin

This security bulletin contains information about 3 vulnerabilities.

1) Security restrictions bypass

EUVDB-ID: #VU15957

Risk: Low

CVSSv4.0: 1.7 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:N/VC:L/VI:L/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear]

CVE-ID: CVE-2018-3180

CWE-ID: CWE-264 - Permissions, Privileges, and Access Controls

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass security restrictions on the target system.

The weakness exists due to insufficient privileges and access controls. A remote attacker can bypass security restrictions to conduct further attacks.

Q & A

Can this vulnerability be exploited remotely?

Yes. This vulnerability can be exploited by a remote non-authenticated attacker via the Internet.

Is there known malware, which exploits this vulnerability?

No. We are not aware of malware exploiting this vulnerability.

2) Privilege escalation

EUVDB-ID: #VU15959

Risk: Low

CVSSv4.0: 6.1 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear]

CVE-ID: CVE-2018-12539

CWE-ID: CWE-264 - Permissions, Privileges, and Access Controls

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a local unauthenticated attacker to gain elevated privileges on the target system.

The weakness exists due to the failure to restrict the use of Java Attach API to connect to an Eclipse OpenJ9 or IBM JVM on the same machine and use Attach API operations to only the process owner. A local attacker can conduct directory traversal attack and extract compressed dump files.

Mitigation

The vulnerability has been fixed in the versions 5.2.0.5 IF6, 5.3.0.5 IF12, 5.4.3 IF 2.

Vulnerable software versions

IBM Algo Credit Manager: 5.2 - 5.4.3

Q & A

Can this vulnerability be exploited remotely?

No. This vulnerability can be exploited locally. The attacker should have authentication credentials and successfully authenticate on the system.

Is there known malware, which exploits this vulnerability?

No. We are not aware of malware exploiting this vulnerability.

3) Path traversal

EUVDB-ID: #VU15958

Risk: Low

CVSSv4.0: 4 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:A/VC:N/VI:H/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear]

CVE-ID: CVE-2018-1656

CWE-ID: CWE-22 - Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal')

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to conduct directory traversal attack on the target system.

The weakness exists due to insufficient protection of path traversal attacks when extracting compressed dump files. A remote attacker can conduct directory traversal attack and extract compressed dump files.

Mitigation

The vulnerability has been fixed in the versions 5.2.0.5 IF6, 5.3.0.5 IF12, 5.4.3 IF 2.
