Security Bulletin

This security bulletin contains information about 2 vulnerabilities.

1) Information disclosure

EUVDB-ID: #VU5214

Risk: Medium

CVSSv4.0: 8.2 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:A/U:Green]

CVE-ID: CVE-2014-3566

CWE-ID: CWE-327 - Use of a Broken or Risky Cryptographic Algorithm

Exploit availability: Yes

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform MitM attack.

The vulnerability exists due to usage of insecure SSLv3 protocol in OpenSSL. A remote attacker can force the current connection between user and server to be downgraded to SSLv3 protocol and then use padding-oracle attack on Cypher-block chaining (CBC) mode to decrypt encrypted communication.

Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may allow an attacker to read encrypted communications in clear text.

Note: The vulnerability is known as POODLE.

Mitigation

Install update from vendor's website.

Vulnerable software versions

WebSphere Message Broker: 8.0.0.2 - 8.0.0.5

IBM Integration Bus: 9.0.0.0 - 9.0.0.3

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. However, a fully functional exploit for this vulnerability is available.

2) Forced SSLv3 support

EUVDB-ID: #VU5215

Risk: Low

CVSSv4.0: 4.6 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear]

CVE-ID: CVE-2014-3568

CWE-ID: CWE-749 - Exposed Dangerous Method or Function

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to force SSLv3 usage.

When OpenSSL is configured with "no-ssl3" as a build option, servers could accept and complete a SSL 3.0 handshake, and clients could be configured to send them. A remote attacker can force SSLv3 usage and perfom a variety of attacks against SSLv3 protocol

Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may allow an attacker to obtain potentially sensitive information.

Mitigation

Install update from vendor's website.
