2) Information disclosure

EUVDB-ID: #VU5442

Risk: Low

CVSSv4.0: 1.7 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:N/VC:L/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear]

CVE-ID: CVE-2017-3732

CWE-ID: CWE-310 - Cryptographic Issues

Exploit availability: No

Description

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

The vulnerability exists due to propagating error in the x86_64 Montgomery squaring procedure. A remote attacker with access to unpatched vulnerable system that uses a shared private key with Diffie-Hellman (DH) parameters set can gain unauthorized access to sensitive private key information.

According to vendor’s advisory, this vulnerability is unlikely to be exploited in real-world attacks, as it requires significant resources and online access to an unpatched system using the target private key in a scenario with persistent DH parameters and a private key that is shared between multiple clients.

Vulnerability exploitation against RSA and DSA as a result of this defect would be very difficult to perform and are not believed likely.

Mitigation

Install updates from vendor's website.

EUVDB-ID: #VU33760

Risk: Low

CVSSv4.0: 1.2 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:A/VC:L/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear]

CVE-ID: CVE-2018-2940

CWE-ID: CWE-20 - Improper input validation

Exploit availability: No

Description

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

Vulnerability in the Java SE, Java SE Embedded component of Oracle Java SE (subcomponent: Libraries). Supported versions that are affected are Java SE: 6u191, 7u181, 8u172 and 10.0.1; Java SE Embedded: 8u171.

Successful attacks require human interaction from a person other than the attacker. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized read access to a subset of Java SE, Java SE Embedded accessible data. Note: This vulnerability applies to Java deployments, typically in clients running sandboxed Java Web Start applications or sandboxed Java applets, that load and run untrusted code (e.g., code that comes from the internet) and rely on the Java sandbox for security. This vulnerability does not apply to Java deployments, typically in servers, that load and run only trusted code (e.g., code installed by an administrator). CVSS 3.0 Base Score 4.3 (Confidentiality impacts). CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N).

CVE-ID: CVE-2018-2973

CWE-ID: CWE-20 - Improper input validation

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to manipulate data.

Vulnerability in the Java SE, Java SE Embedded component of Oracle Java SE (subcomponent: JSSE).
