Vulnerability Details
CVEID: CVE-2015-0488
DESCRIPTION: An unspecified vulnerability related to the JSSE component could
allow a remote attacker to cause a denial of service.
CVSS Base Score: 5
CVSS Temporal Score: See http://xforce.iss.net/xforce/xfdb/102336 for the
current score
CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined
CVSS Vector: (AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:P)
CVEID: CVE-2015-0478
DESCRIPTION: An unspecified vulnerability related to the JCE component could
allow a remote attacker to obtain sensitive information.
CVSS Base Score: 4.3
CVSS Temporal Score: See http://xforce.iss.net/xforce/xfdb/102339 for the
current score
CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined
CVSS Vector: (AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:P/I:N/A:N)
CVEID: CVE-2015-2808
DESCRIPTION: The RC4 algorithm, as used in the TLS protocol and SSL protocol,
could allow a remote attacker to obtain sensitive information. An attacker
could exploit this vulnerability to remotely expose account credentials
without requiring an active man-in-the-middle session. Successful exploitation
could allow an attacker to retrieve credit card data or other sensitive
information. This vulnerability is commonly referred to as "Bar Mitzvah
Attack".
CVSS Base Score: 5
CVSS Temporal Score: See
https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/101851 for the current
score
CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined
CVSS Vector: (AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:N/A:N)
CVEID: CVE-2015-1916
DESCRIPTION: Server applications which use the IBM Java Secure Socket
Extension provider to accept SSL/TLS connections are vulnerable to a denial of
service attack due to an unspecified vulnerability.
CVSS Base Score: 5
CVSS Temporal Score: See http://xforce.iss.net/xforce/xfdb/101995 for the
current score
CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined
CVSS Vector: (AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:P)
CVEID: CVE-2014-0227
DESCRIPTION: Apache Tomcat is vulnerable to HTTP request smuggling. A remote
attacker could send a specially-crafted request in a malformed chunked header
to the Web server to cause multiple processing conflicts on the servers. An
attacker could exploit this vulnerability to poison the web cache, bypass web
application firewall protection, and conduct XSS attacks.
CVSS Base Score: 4.3
CVSS Temporal Score: See http://xforce.iss.net/xforce/xfdb/100751 for the
current score
CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined
CVSS Vector: (AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:N/I:P/A:N)
CVEID: CVE-2015-0209
DESCRIPTION: OpenSSL could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code
on the system, caused by a use-after-free error in the d2i_ECPrivateKey or
EVP_PKCS82PKEY function. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability using a
malformed Elliptic Curve (EC) private-key file to corrupt memory and execute
arbitrary code on the system and cause a denial of service.
CVSS Base Score: 6.8
CVSS Temporal Score: See
https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/101674 for the current
score
CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined
CVSS Vector: (AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P)
CVEID: CVE-2015-0286
DESCRIPTION: OpenSSL is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by an error
in the ASN1_TYPE_cmp function when attempting to compare ASN.1 boolean types.
An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to crash any certificate
verification operation and cause a denial of service.
CVSS Base Score: 5
CVSS Temporal Score: See
https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/101666 for the current
score
CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined
CVSS Vector: (AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:P)
CVEID: CVE-2015-0289
DESCRIPTION: OpenSSL is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by the
failure to properly handle missing outer ContentInfo by the PKCS#7 parsing
code. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability using a malformed
ASN.1-encoded PKCS#7 blob to trigger a NULL pointer dereference.
CVSS Base Score: 5
CVSS Temporal Score: See
https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/101669 for the current
score
CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined
