Summary

Multiple vulnerabilities in unzip, krb5, tomcat, affect IBM SmartCloud Provisioning 2.1 for IBM Software Virtual Appliance (CVE-2014-8139, CVE-2014-8140, CVE-2014-8141, CVE-2014-9636, CVE-2014-5355, CVE-2014-9421, CVE-2014-5352, CVE-2014-5353, CVE-2014-9422, CVE-2014-0227).

Vulnerability Details

CVEID: CVE-2014-8139
DESCRIPTION:
Info-ZIP UnZip is vulnerable to a heap-based buffer overflow, caused by improper bounds checking within the CRC32 verification. A local attacker could overflow a buffer and execute arbitrary code on the system.
CVSS Base Score: 4.4

CVEID: CVE-2014-9636
DESCRIPTION:
Info-ZIP unzip is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by an out-of-bound access in extract.c. By persuading a victim to open a specially-crafted zip file, a local attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause the application to crash.
CVSS Base Score: 1.9
CVSS Temporal Score: See https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/100264 for the current score
CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined
CVSS Vector: (AV:L/AC:M/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:P)

CVEID: CVE-2014-5355
DESCRIPTION:
MIT Kerberos is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by a NULL pointer dereference in the krb5_recvauth function. By sending a non-null-terminated version string, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause the service to crash.
CVSS Base Score: 5
CVSS Temporal Score: See https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/100972 for the current score
CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined
CVSS Vector: (AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:P)


CVEID: CVE-2014-9421
DESCRIPTION:
MIT krb5 could allow a remote authenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code on the system,, caused by a double-free error in the kadmind daemon. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code on the system.
CVSS Base Score: 9
CVSS Temporal Score: See https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/100841 for the current score
CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined
CVSS Vector: (AV:N/AC:L/Au:S/C:C/I:C/A:C)

CVEID: CVE-2014-5352
DESCRIPTION:
