SB2025012321 - Multiple vulnerabilities in IBM QRadar Deployment Intelligence App

Description

This security bulletin contains information about 8 secuirty vulnerabilities.

1) Improper Certificate Validation (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-24025)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform MitM attack.

The vulnerability exists due to certificate validation is disabled when requesting binaries even if the user is not specifying an alternative download path. A remote attacker can perform MitM attack and compromise the affected application.

2) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-3807)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input when matching crafted invalid ANSI escape codes in ansi-regex. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted input to the application and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

3) Incorrect Regular Expression (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-33623)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient input validation when processing regular expressions. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted data to the application and perform regular expression denial of service (ReDos) attack.

4) Path traversal (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-37713)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to overwrite arbitrary files on the system.

The vulnerability exists due insufficient logic on Windows systems when extracting tar files that contained a path that was not an absolute path, but specified a drive letter different from the extraction target, such as C:some\path. If the drive letter does not match the extraction target, for example D:\extraction\dir, then the result of path.resolve(extractionDirectory, entryPath) would resolve against the current working directory on the C: drive, rather than the extraction target directory.

5) Path traversal (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-37712)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform directory traversal attacks.

The vulnerability exists due to input validation error when extracting tar files that contained two directories and a symlink with names containing unicode values that normalized to the same value. A remote attacker can create a specially crafted archive that, when extracted, can overwrite arbitrary files on the system.

6) Path traversal (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-37701)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to overwrite arbitrary files on the system.

The vulnerability exists due to input validation error when extracting tar files that contained both a directory and a symlink with the same name as the directory, where the symlink and directory names in the archive entry used backslashes as a path separator on posix systems. A remote attacker can create a specially crafted archive and overwrite arbitrary files on the system.

7) Absolute Path Traversal (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-32804)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to overwrite arbitrary files on the system.

The vulnerability exists due to a logic issue when file paths contained repeated path roots such as ////home/user/.bashrc. node-tar would only strip a single path root from such paths. When given an absolute file path with repeating path roots, the resulting path (e.g. ///home/user/.bashrc) would still resolve to an absolute path, thus allowing arbitrary file creation and overwrite.

8) Absolute Path Traversal (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-32803)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to overwrite arbitrary files on the system.

The vulnerability exists due to a logic issue when extracting tar files that contained both a directory and a symlink with the same name as the directory. This order of operations resulted in the directory being created and added to the node-tar directory cache. When a directory is present in the directory cache, subsequent calls to mkdir for that directory are skipped. However, this is also where node-tar checks for symlinks occur.

By first creating a directory, and then replacing that directory with a symlink, it was thus possible to bypass node-tar symlink checks on directories, essentially allowing an untrusted tar file to symlink into an arbitrary location and subsequently extracting arbitrary files into that location, thus allowing arbitrary file creation and overwrite.
