SB2020012204 - Multiple vulnerabilities in Oracle Communications Diameter Signaling Router (DSR)

Description

This security bulletin contains information about 2 vulnerabilities.

1) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2019-3862)

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

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

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to potentially sensitive information or perform denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary condition when SSH_MSG_CHANNEL_REQUEST packets with an exit status message and no payload are parsed. A remote attacker can trick the victim to connect to a malicious SSH server, trigger out of bounds read and gain access to sensitive information or perform denial of service attack.

2) Use of a broken or risky cryptographic algorithm (CVE-ID: CVE-2019-1559)

CWE-ID: CWE-327 - Use of a Broken or Risky Cryptographic Algorithm

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

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to decrypt sensitive information.

The vulnerability exists due to the way an application behaves, when it receives a 0-byte record with invalid padding compared to the record with an invalid MAC, which results in padding oracle. A remote attacker can decrypt data.

Successful exploitation of the vulnerability requires that the application is using "non-stitched" ciphersuites and calls SSL_shutdown() twice (first, via a BAD_RECORD_MAC and again via a CLOSE_NOTIFY). 

Remediation

Install update from vendor's website.
