SB2023092025 - Multiple vulnerabilities in Netcool Operations Insight

Description

This security bulletin contains information about 56 secuirty vulnerabilities.

1) Improper Authentication (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-22576)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass authentication process.

The vulnerability exists due to an error when re-using OAUTH2 connections for SASL-enabled protocols, such as SMPTP(S), IMAP(S), POP3(S) and LDAP(S) (openldap only). libcurl may reuse OAUTH2-authenticated connections without properly making sure that the connection was authenticated with the same credentials as set for this transfer. As a result, a connection that is successfully created and authenticated with a user name + OAUTH2 bearer can subsequently be erroneously reused even for user + [other OAUTH2 bearer], even though that might not even be a valid bearer.

A remote attacker can exploit this vulnerability against applications intended for use in multi-user environments to bypass authentication and gain unauthorized access to victim's accounts.
