Security Bulletin

This security bulletin contains information about 6 vulnerabilities.

1) State Issues

EUVDB-ID: #VU73829

Risk: Medium

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

CVE-ID: CVE-2023-27536

CWE-ID: CWE-371 - State Issues

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain unauthorized access to otherwise restricted functionality.

The vulnerability exists due to cURL will reuse a previously created connection even when the GSS delegation (CURLOPT_GSSAPI_DELEGATION) option had been changed that could have changed the user's permissions in a second transfer. libcurl keeps previously used connections in a connection pool for subsequent transfers to reuse if one of them matches the setup. However, this GSS delegation setting was left out from the configuration match checks, making them match too easily, affecting krb5/kerberos/negotiate/GSSAPI transfers.

Mitigation

Install update from vendor's website.

Vulnerable software versions

IBM Spectrum Copy Data Management: 2.2.0 - 2.2.20.1

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) Input validation error

EUVDB-ID: #VU73826

Risk: Low

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

CVE-ID: CVE-2023-27533

CWE-ID: CWE-20 - Improper input validation

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to manipulate requests.

The vulnerability exists due to missing documentation of the TELNET protocol support and the ability to pass on user name and "telnet options" for the server negotiation. A remote attacker can manipulate the connection sending unexpected data to the server via the affected client.

Mitigation

Install update from vendor's website.

3) Double Free

EUVDB-ID: #VU73830

Risk: High

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

CVE-ID: CVE-2023-27537

CWE-ID: CWE-415 - Double Free

Exploit availability: No

Description

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

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error when sharing HSTS data between connection. A remote attacker can initiate HSTS connection, trigger a double free error and execute arbitrary code on the target system.


Mitigation

Install update from vendor's website.

4) Input validation error

EUVDB-ID: #VU73827

Risk: Low

CVSSv4.0: [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-2023-27534

CWE-ID: CWE-20 - Improper input validation

Exploit availability: No

Description

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

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input in the SFTP support when handling the tilde "~" character in the filepath. cURL will replace the tilde character to the current user's home directory and can reveal otherwise restricted files.

Mitigation

Install update from vendor's website.

5) Information disclosure

EUVDB-ID: #VU73831

Risk: Medium

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

CVE-ID: CVE-2023-27538

CWE-ID: CWE-200 - Information exposure

Exploit availability: No

Description

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 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.

Mitigation

Install update from vendor's website.

6) State Issues

EUVDB-ID: #VU73828

Risk: Low

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

CVE-ID: CVE-2023-27535

CWE-ID: CWE-371 - State Issues

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain unauthorized access to FTP server.

The vulnerability exists due to cURL will reuse a previously created FTP connection even when one or more options had been changed that could have made the effective user a very different one. A remote attacker can connect to the FTP server using credentials supplied by another user and gain access to otherwise restricted functionality.

The settings in questions are CURLOPT_FTP_ACCOUNT, CURLOPT_FTP_ALTERNATIVE_TO_USER, CURLOPT_FTP_SSL_CCC and CURLOPT_USE_SSL level.

Mitigation

Install update from vendor's website.
