Security Bulletin: IBM Security Directory Suite is affected by multiple vulnerabilities (CVE-2016-10142, CVE-2015-3331, CVE-2014-2523)

Summary

IBM Security Directory Suite (ISDS) has addressed the following vulnerabilities due to buffer overflow, remote arbitrary code execution, and denial of service.

Vulnerability Details

CVEID: CVE-2016-10142 DESCRIPTION: The IETF IPv6 protocol is vulnerable to a denial of service. By leveraging the generation of IPv6 atomic fragments and using the fragments in an arbitrary IPv6 flow, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to perform any type of a fragmentation-based attack against legacy IPv6 nodes and trigger a kernel panic.

CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:N/I:N/A:H)

CVEID: CVE-2015-3331 DESCRIPTION: Linux Kernel, built with the Intel AES-NI instructions for AES algorithm support (CONFIG_CRYPTO_AES_NI_INTEL), is vulnerable to a buffer overflow, caused by improper bounds checking by the RFC4106 GCM mode decryption functionality. By sending fragmented packets using the Intel AES-NI instruction, a remote attacker could overflow a buffer and execute arbitrary code on the system with elevated privileges.

CVEID: CVE-2014-2523 DESCRIPTION: Linux Kernel could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the system, caused by an error in the /netfilter/nf_conntrack_proto_dccp.c file. By sending a specially-crafted DCCP packet, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to corrupt kernel stack memory and execute arbitrary code on the system with kernel privileges.
