Multiple vulnerabilities in IBM Watson Studio on Cloud Pak for Data - Execution Engine for Apache Hadoop

1) Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling

EUVDB-ID: #VU72337

Risk: Medium

CVSSv4.0: 6.6 [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:U/U:Green]

CVE-ID: CVE-2023-23916

CWE-ID: CWE-770 - Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling

Exploit availability: No

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

The vulnerability exists due to incorrect implementation of the "chained" HTTP compression algorithms, where the number of links in the decompression chain was limited for each header instead of the entire request. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted compressed HTTP request with numerous headers and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

2) Expected behavior violation

EUVDB-ID: #VU76238

Risk: Medium

CVSSv4.0: 2.7 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:L/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green]

CVE-ID: CVE-2023-28322

CWE-ID: CWE-440 - Expected Behavior Violation

Exploit availability: No

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to sensitive information.

The vulnerability exists due to a logic error when sending HTTP POST and PUT requests using the same handle. The libcurl can erroneously use the read callback (CURLOPT_READFUNCTION) to ask for data to send, even when the CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS option has been set, if the same handle previously was used to issue a PUT request which used that callback. As a result, the application can misbehave and either send off the wrong data or use memory after free or similar in the second transfer.

CVE-ID: CVE-2022-35252

CWE-ID: CWE-20 - Improper input validation

Exploit availability: No

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

The vulnerability exists due to the way curl handles cookies with control codes (byte values below 32). When cookies that contain such control codes are later sent back to an HTTP(S) server, it might make the server return a 400 response, effectively allowing a "sister site" to deny service to siblings.

8) Insufficient verification of data authenticity

EUVDB-ID: #VU56615

Risk: Medium

CVSSv4.0: 4.2 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:A/VC:L/VI:H/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green]

CVE-ID: CVE-2021-22947

CWE-ID: CWE-345 - Insufficient Verification of Data Authenticity

Exploit availability: No

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform MitM attack.

The vulnerability exists in the way libcurl handles the STARTTLS negotiation process. When curl connects to an IMAP, POP3, SMTP or FTP server to exchange data securely using STARTTLS to upgrade the connection to TLS level, the server can still respond and send back multiple responses before the TLS upgrade. Such multiple "pipelined" responses are cached by curl. curl would then upgrade to TLS but not flush the in-queue of cached responses and instead use and trust the responses it got before the TLS handshake as if they were authenticated.

Using this flaw, it allows a Man-In-The-Middle attacker to first inject the fake responses, then pass-through the TLS traffic from the legitimate server and trick curl into sending data back to the user thinking the attacker's injected data comes from the TLS-protected server.

Over POP3 and IMAP an attacker can inject fake response data.

Risk: Low

CVE-ID: CVE-2022-27776

CWE-ID: CWE-200 - Information exposure

Exploit availability: No

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to potentially sensitive information.

The vulnerability exists due to curl can leak authentication or cookie header data during HTTP redirects to the same host but another port number. When asked to send custom headers or cookies in its HTTP requests, curl sends that set of headers only to the host which name is used in the initial URL, so that redirects to other hosts will make curl send the data to those. However, due to a flawed check, curl wrongly also sends that same set of headers to the hosts that are identical to the first one but use a different port number or URL scheme.

The vulnerability exists due to an incomplete fix for #VU10224 (CVE-2018-1000007).

CVE-ID: CVE-2023-28319

CWE-ID: CWE-416 - Use After Free

Exploit availability: No

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to sensitive information.

CVE-ID: CVE-2022-27782

CWE-ID: CWE-303 - Incorrect Implementation of Authentication Algorithm

Exploit availability: No

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to potentially sensitive information.

The vulnerability exists due to the way libcurl handles previously used connections in a connection pool for subsequent transfers. Several TLS and SSH settings were left out from the configuration match checks, resulting in erroneous matches for different resources. As a result, libcurl can send authentication string from one resource to another, exposing credentials to a third-party.

CVE-ID: CVE-2021-22946

CWE-ID: CWE-319 - Cleartext Transmission of Sensitive Information

Exploit availability: No

The vulnerability exists due to an error, related to incorrect enforcement of the --ssl-reqd option on the command line or CURLOPT_USE_SSL setting set to CURLUSESSL_CONTROL or CURLUSESSL_ALL with libcurl. A remote attacker with control over the IMAP, POP3 or FTP server can send a specially crafted but perfectly legitimate response to the libcurl client and force it silently to continue its operations without TLS encryption and transmit data in clear text over the network.

20) Improper Authentication

EUVDB-ID: #VU62640

Risk: Medium

CVE-ID: CVE-2022-22576

CWE-ID: CWE-287 - Improper Authentication

Exploit availability: No

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.

CVE-ID: CVE-2023-38545

CWE-ID: CWE-122 - Heap-based Buffer Overflow

Exploit availability: Yes

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error in the SOCKS5 proxy handshake. A remote attacker can trick the victim to visit a malicious website, trigger a heap-based buffer overflow and execute arbitrary code on the target system.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system but requires that SOCKS5 proxy is used and that SOCKS5 handshake is slow (e.g. under heavy load or DoS attack).

23) Expected behavior violation

EUVDB-ID: #VU68746

Risk: Medium

CVSSv4.0: 1 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:A/VC:L/VI:L/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green]

CVE-ID: CVE-2022-32221

CWE-ID: CWE-440 - Expected Behavior Violation

Exploit availability: No

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to force unexpected application behavior.

The vulnerability exists due to a logic error for a reused handle when processing subsequent HTTP PUT and POST requests. The libcurl can erroneously use the read callback (CURLOPT_READFUNCTION) to ask for data to send, even when the CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS option has been set, if the same handle previously was used to issue a PUT request, which used that callback. As a result, such behavior can influence application flow and force unpredictable outcome.

24) Heap-based buffer overflow

EUVDB-ID: #VU71454

Risk: Low

CVSSv4.0: 5.9 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear]

CVE-ID: CVE-2022-3715

CWE-ID: CWE-122 - Heap-based Buffer Overflow

Exploit availability: No

The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error in valid_parameter_transform() function in GNU bash. A local user can trigger a heap-based buffer overflow and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
