Multiple vulnerabilities in Qlogic Virtual Fabric Extension Module for IBM BladeCenter Firmware Update

1) Information disclosure

EUVDB-ID: #VU10224

Risk: Low

CVSSv3.1: 6.5 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]

CVE-ID: CVE-2018-1000007

CWE-ID: CWE-200 - Information exposure

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to obtain potentially sensitive information on the target system.

The weakness exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input. A remote attacker can send custom headers in an HTTP request and an HTTP 30X redirect response code, cause the application to send the custom headers to the server specified in the 'Location:' response header and  obtain potentially sensitive authentication information from applications that use custom 'Authorization:' headers.

Mitigation

Install update from vendor's website.

Q & 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) Out-of-bounds read

EUVDB-ID: #VU10223

Risk: Low

CVSSv3.1: 5.7 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:L/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]

CVE-ID: CVE-2018-1000005

CWE-ID: CWE-125 - Out-of-bounds read

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to obtain potentially sensitive information or cause DoS condition on the target system.

The weakness exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted HTTP/2 trailer to trigger an out-of-bounds memory read error and cause the application to crash or obtain potentially sensitive information from services that echo back or otherwise use the trailers.

Mitigation

Install update from vendor's website.

3) Denial of service

EUVDB-ID: #VU9460

Risk: Low

CVSSv3.1: 4.6 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]

CVE-ID: CVE-2017-8818

CWE-ID: CWE-119 - Memory corruption

Exploit availability: No

Description

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

The vulnerability exists due to too little memory is allocated for interfacing to an SSL library. A remote attacker can trigger a memory allocation error in SSL-related code and cause the application to crash.

Mitigation

Install update from vendor's website.

4) Out-of-bounds read

EUVDB-ID: #VU9459

Risk: Low

CVSSv3.1: 7.7 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]

CVE-ID: CVE-2017-8817

CWE-ID: CWE-125 - Out-of-bounds read

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to redirect the target client to an arbitrary site.

The vulnerability exists due to out-of-bounds read in the FTP wildcard function (CURLOPT_WILDCARDMATCH). A remote unauthenticated attacker can use a string that ends with an '[' character, trigger out-of-bounds read and cause the target connected libcurl client to be redirected.

Mitigation

Install update from vendor's website.

5) Buffer overflow

EUVDB-ID: #VU9458

Risk: High

CVSSv3.1: 8.7 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]

CVE-ID: CVE-2017-8816

CWE-ID: CWE-119 - Memory corruption

Exploit availability: No

Description

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

The vulnerability exists due to buffer overflow in the NTLM authentication process. A remote unauthenticated attacker can use vectors involving long user and password fields, trigger memory corruption and execute arbitrary code with privileges of the current user.

Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may result in system compromise.

Mitigation

Install update from vendor's website.
