Security Bulletin
This security bulletin contains information about 4 vulnerabilities.
1) Code Injection
EUVDB-ID: #VU58816
Risk: Critical
CVSSv3.1: 9.4 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H/E:H/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2021-44228
CWE-ID:
CWE-94 - Improper Control of Generation of Code ('Code Injection')
Exploit availability: Yes
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation when processing LDAP requests. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted request to the application and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.
Note, we are aware of attackers exploiting the vulnerability in the wild.
Install update from vendor's website.
Vulnerable software versionsIBM Planning Analytics Workspace: before 2.0.72
Planning Analytics Local: before 2.0.9.11
CPE2.3http://www.ibm.com/support/pages/node/6524704
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?
Yes. This vulnerability is being exploited in the wild.
2) Code Injection
EUVDB-ID: #VU58976
Risk: High
CVSSv3.1: 8.6 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H/E:H/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2021-45046
CWE-ID:
CWE-94 - Improper Control of Generation of Code ('Code Injection')
Exploit availability: Yes
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise the affected system.
The
vulnerability exists due to incomplete patch in Apache Log4j 2.15.0 for
a code injection vulnerability #VU58816 (CVE-2021-44228) in certain
non-default configurations. A remote attacker with control over Thread
Context Map (MDC) input data when the logging configuration uses a
non-default Pattern Layout with either a Context Lookup (for example,
$${ctx:loginId}) or a Thread Context Map pattern (%X, %mdc, or %MDC) can
pass malicious data using a JNDI Lookup pattern and perform a denial of
service (DoS) attack, exfiltrate data or execute arbitrary code.
Later discovery demonstrates a remote code execution on macOS but no other tested environments.

3) Infinite loop
EUVDB-ID: #VU59051
Risk: Medium
CVSSv3.1: 6.7 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H/E:P/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2021-45105
CWE-ID:
CWE-835 - Loop with Unreachable Exit Condition ('Infinite Loop')
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to infinite loop within the StrSubstitutor class. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted input to the application, consume all available system resources and cause denial of service conditions.
Payload example: ${${::-${::-$${::-j}}}}

4) Missing Encryption of Sensitive Data
EUVDB-ID: #VU99654
Risk: Medium
CVSSv3.1: 5.9 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:N/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2021-3882
CWE-ID:
CWE-311 - Missing Encryption of Sensitive Data
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to potentially sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to LedgerSMB does not set the 'Secure' attribute on the session authorization cookie when the client uses HTTPS and the LedgerSMB server is behind a reverse proxy. A remote attacker can trick a user into using an unencrypted connection (HTTP) to obtain the authentication data by capturing network traffic.
