Vulnerability Details

CVEID: CVE-2018-7183
DESCRIPTION: NTP is vulnerable to a buffer overflow, caused by improper bounds
checking by the decodearr function. By leveraging an ntpq query and sending a
response with a crafted array, a remote attacker could overflow a buffer and
execute arbitrary code on the system or cause the application to crash.
CVSS Base Score: 5.6
CVSS Temporal Score: See https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/
140092 for the current score
CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:L)

CVEID: CVE-2018-7185
DESCRIPTION: NTP is vulnerable to a denial of service. By sending specially
crafted packets, a remote authenticated attacker could exploit this
vulnerability to reset authenticated interleaved association.
CVSS Base Score: 3.1
CVSS Temporal Score: See https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/
139783 for the current score
CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L)

CVEID: CVE-2018-7170
DESCRIPTION: NTP could allow a remote authenticated attacker to bypass
security restrictions, caused by a Sybil attack. By creating many ephemeral
associations, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to win the clock
selection of ntpd and modify a victim's clock.
CVSS Base Score: 3.1
CVSS Temporal Score: See https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/
139786 for the current score
CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N)

CVEID: CVE-2018-7182
DESCRIPTION: NTP could allow a remote attacker to obtain sensitive
information, caused by a leak in the ctl_getitem() function. By sending a
specially crafted mode 6 packet, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability
to read past the end of its buffer.
CVSS Base Score: 5.3
CVSS Temporal Score: See https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/
139785 for the current score
CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N)

CVEID: CVE-2018-7184
DESCRIPTION: NTP is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by the failure
of the interleaved symmetric mode to recover from bad state. By sending
specially crafted packets, a remote authenticated attacker could exploit this
vulnerability to cause a denial of service.
CVSS Base Score: 3.1
CVSS Temporal Score: See https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/
139784 for the current score
CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L)

CVEID: CVE-2018-0737
DESCRIPTION: OpenSSL could allow a local attacker to obtain sensitive
information, caused by a cache-timing side channel attack in the RSA Key
generation algorithm. An attacker with access to mount cache timing attacks
during the RSA key generation process could exploit this vulnerability to
recover the private key and obtain sensitive information.
CVSS Base Score: 3.3
CVSS Temporal Score: See https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/
141679 for the current score
CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N)

CVEID: CVE-2017-3738
DESCRIPTION: OpenSSL could allow a remote attacker to obtain sensitive
information, caused by an overflow bug in the AVX2 Montgomery multiplication
procedure used in exponentiation with 1024-bit moduli. An attacker could
exploit this vulnerability to obtain information about the private key. Note:
In order to exploit this vulnerability, the server would have to share the
DH1024 private key among multiple clients, which is no longer an option since
CVE-2016-0701.
CVSS Base Score: 3.1
CVSS Temporal Score: See https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/
136078 for the current score
CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N)

CVEID: CVE-2017-3737
DESCRIPTION: An unspecified vulnerability in multiple Oracle products could
allow an unauthenticated attacker to cause low confidentiality impact, low
integrity impact, and high availability impact.
CVSS Base Score: 5.3
CVSS Temporal Score: See https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/
136077 for the current score
CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N)

CVEID: CVE-2018-3640
DESCRIPTION: Multiple Intel CPU's could allow a local attacker to obtain
sensitive information, caused by utilizing sequences of speculative execution
that perform speculative reads of system registers. By conducting targeted
cache side-channel attacks, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to
determine the values stored in system registers. Note: This vulnerability is
the Rogue System Register Read (RSRE), also known as Variant 3a.
CVSS Base Score: 4.3
CVSS Temporal Score: See https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/
143570 for the current score
CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:N/A:N)

CVEID: CVE-2018-3639
DESCRIPTION: Multiple Intel CPU's could allow a local attacker to obtain
sensitive information, caused by utilizing sequences of speculative execution
and speculative execution of memory reads before the addresses of all prior
memory writes are known. By conducting targeted cache side-channel attacks, an
attacker could exploit this vulnerability to bypass security restrictions and
gain read access to privileged memory. Note: This vulnerability is the
Speculative Store Bypass (SSB), also known as Variant 4 or "SpectreNG".
CVSS Base Score: 4.3
CVSS Temporal Score: See https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/
143569 for the current score
