Security Bulletin
This security bulletin contains information about 3 vulnerabilities.
1) Input validation error
EUVDB-ID: #VU81098
Risk: High
CVSSv4.0: 8.1 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Amber]
CVE-ID: CVE-2013-2186
CWE-ID:
CWE-20 - Improper input validation
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to overwrite arbitrary files on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input when processing file names with a NULL byte within the DiskFileItem class. A remote attacker can upload a specially crafted file with a NULL byte in its name and overwrite arbitrary files on the system.
Install update from vendor's website.
Vulnerable software versionsIBM Tivoli Business Service Manager: before 6.2.0.4
CPE2.3 External linksQ & 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) Resource exhaustion
EUVDB-ID: #VU197
Risk: Medium
CVSSv4.0: 4.6 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green]
CVE-ID: CVE-2016-3092
CWE-ID:
CWE-400 - Resource exhaustion
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause denial of service conditions on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to input validation error when processing very long boundary strings within the MultipartStream class in Apache Commons Fileupload. A remote user can cause denial of service conditions by sending specially crafted boundary string and consume excessive CPU resources.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in denial of service attack.

3) Infinite loop
EUVDB-ID: #VU5233
Risk: Medium
CVSSv4.0: 8.7 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:A/U:Green]
CVE-ID: CVE-2014-0050
CWE-ID:
CWE-400 - Resource exhaustion
Exploit availability: Yes
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause DoS conditions on the target system.
The weakness exists due to boundary error when handling Content-Type HTTP header for multipart requests. By sending a specially crafted Content-Type header, containing 4092 characters in "boundary" field, a remote attacker can cause the application to enter into an infinite loop.
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability results in denial of service on the vulnerable system.
Note: the vulnerability was being actively exploited.
