Summary
Multiple security vulnerabilities exist in the IBM JRE that is shipped with
the Rational Reporting for Development Intelligence (RRDI). The same security
vulnerabilities also exist in the IBM Java SDK that is shipped with the IBM
WebSphere Application Server (WAS).
Vulnerability Details
The IBM JRE installed with RRDI is based on the Oracle JRE and the IBM Java
SDK installed with WAS is based on the Oracle JDK. Oracle has released June
2013 critical patch updates (CPU) which contain security vulnerability fixes
and the IBM JRE and Java SDK have been updated to incorporate those updates.
See
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/topics/security/javacpujun2013-1899847.html
for the list of security vulnerabilities fixed by the Oracle June 2013 CPU.
Note: WAS itself is not vulnerable to all the advisories. However, RRDI is
vulnerable to the following two advisories:
CVE ID: CVE-2013-2407 Unspecified vulnerability in the Java Runtime
Environment (JRE) component
DESCRIPTION:
A malicious user that is able to send a XML document with specially crafted
Signature data via an HTTP request to the RRDI report server may be able to
cause excessive CPU usage, effectively causing a partial denial of service to
the system.
CVSS Base Score: 6.4
CVSS Temporal Score: See http://xforce.iss.net/xforce/xfdb/85044 for the
current score
CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined
