Description

This security bulletin contains information about 5 vulnerabilities.


1) Security restrictions bypass (CVE-ID: CVE-2016-1549)

CWE-ID: CWE-264 - Permissions, Privileges, and Access Controls

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:L/VI:L/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass security restrictions on the target system.

The weakness exists due to insufficient security restrictions. A remote attacker can create multiple crafted ephemeral associations to bypass security restrictions and modify the clock.

2) Information disclosure (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-7182)

CWE-ID: CWE-200 - Exposure of sensitive information to an unauthorized actor

CVSSv4: 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:P/U:Clear


The vulnerability allows a remote unautheticated attacker to obtain potentially sensitive information.

The weakness exists due to insufficient validation user-supplied input. A remote attacker can submit a specially crafted mode 6 packet and gain access to potentially sensitive information.


3) Security restrictions bypass (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-7170)

CWE-ID: CWE-264 - Permissions, Privileges, and Access Controls

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:L/VI:L/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear


The vulnerability allows a remote authenticated attacker to bypass security restrictions on the target system.

The weakness exists due to insufficient security restrictions. A remote attacker can create multiple crafted ephemeral associations to bypass security restrictions and modify the clock.

4) Denial of service (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-7184)

CWE-ID: CWE-264 - Permissions, Privileges, and Access Controls

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause DoS condition on the target system.

The weakness exists due to insufficient security restrictions. A remote attacker can cause interleaved symmetric mode to crash.

5) Improper input validation (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-7185)

CWE-ID: CWE-20 - Improper input validation

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear


The vulnerability allows a remote authenticated attacker to cause DoS condition on the target system.

The weakness exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input. A remote attacker can submit continuous crafted packets and cause the service to crash.
