CVE-2016-6100

IBM Disposal and Governance Management for IT and IBM Global Retention Policy and Schedule Management, components of IBM Atlas Policy Suite 6.0.3 is vulnerable to cross-site request forgery which could allow an attacker to execute malicious and unauthorized actions transmitted from a user that the website trusts. IBM Reference #: 2000771.

CVE-2017-6339

Trend Micro InterScan Web Security Virtual Appliance (IWSVA) 6.5 before CP 1746 mismanages certain key and certificate data. Per IWSVA documentation, by default, IWSVA acts as a private Certificate Authority (CA) and dynamically generates digital certificates that are sent to client browsers to complete a secure passage for HTTPS connections. It also allows administrators to upload their own certificates signed by a root CA. An attacker with low privileges can download the current CA certificate and Private Key (either the default ones or ones uploaded by administrators) and use those to decrypt HTTPS traffic, thus compromising confidentiality. Also, the default Private Key on this appliance is encrypted with a very weak passphrase. If an appliance uses the default Certificate and Private Key provided by Trend Micro, an attacker can simply download these and decrypt the Private Key using the default/weak passphrase.

CVE-2017-6338

Multiple Access Control issues in Trend Micro InterScan Web Security Virtual Appliance (IWSVA) 6.5 before CP 1746 allow an authenticated, remote user with low privileges like ‘Reports Only’ or ‘Auditor’ to change FTP Access Control Settings, create or modify reports, or upload an HTTPS Decryption Certificate and Private Key.

CVE-2017-6340

Trend Micro InterScan Web Security Virtual Appliance (IWSVA) 6.5 before CP 1746 does not sanitize a rest/commonlog/report/template name field, which allows a ‘Reports Only’ user to inject malicious JavaScript while creating a new report. Additionally, IWSVA implements incorrect access control that allows any authenticated, remote user (even with low privileges like ‘Auditor’) to create or modify reports, and consequently take advantage of this XSS vulnerability. The JavaScript is executed when victims visit reports or auditlog pages.

Red Hat Security Advisory 2017-0882-01 – V8 is Google’s open source JavaScript engine. V8 is written in C++ and is used in Google Chrome, the open source browser from Google. V8 implements ECMAScript as specified in ECMA-262, 3rd edition. Security Fix: An integer-overflow flaw was found in V8’s Zone class when allocating new memory and Zone::NewExpand()). An attacker with the ability to manipulate a large zone could crash the application or, potentially, execute arbitrary code with the application privileges.
