Security Bulletin: IBM Informix Cryptographic Library Updates (CVE-2012-2190,
CVE-2012-2191, CVE-2012-2203)

Flash (Alert)

Document information

Informix Servers

Software version: 11.7, 11.70

Operating system(s): AIX, HP-UX, Linux, Mac OS X, Solaris, Windows

Reference #: 1620711

Modified date: 2013-04-12

Abstract

Multiple security problems exist in the IBM GSKit libraries that IBM Informix
and IBM Informix ClientSDK use to provide communications security and other 
cryptographic functionality. Content

CVE ID: CVE-2012-2190

DESCRIPTION: 
GSKit allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service 
(daemon crash) via a crafted ClientHello message in the TLS Handshake 
Protocol.

CVSS: 
CVSS Base Score: 5 
CVSS Temporal Score: See http://xforce.iss.net/xforce/xfdb/75994 for the 
current score 
CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined 
CVSS Vector: (AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:P)

CVE ID: CVE-2012-2191

DESCRIPTION: 
GSKit does not properly validate data during execution of a 
protection mechanism against the Vaudenay SSL CBC timing attack, which allows
remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via crafted
values in the TLS Record Layer.

CVSS: 
CVSS Base Score: 5
CVSS Temporal Score: See http://xforce.iss.net/xforce/xfdb/75996 for the 
current score 
CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined 
CVSS Vector: (AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:P)

CVE ID: CVE-2012-2203

DESCRIPTION: 
GSKit uses the PKCS #12 file format for certificate objects 
without enforcing file integrity, which makes it easier for remote attackers 
to spoof SSL servers via vectors involving insertion of an arbitrary root 
Certification Authority (CA) certificate.

CVSS: 
CVSS Base Score; 5.8 
CVSS Temporal Score: See http://xforce.iss.net/xforce/xfdb/77280 for the 
current score 
CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined 
CVSS Vector: (AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:N)

AFFECTED PRODUCTS: IBM Informix 11.50.xC9W2 or earlier IBM Informix 11.70.xC6
or earlier IBM Informix ClientSDK 3.50.xC9W2 or earlier IBM Informix ClientSDK
