Rewterz Threat Advisory – SamSam Ransomware launches cyber-attacks worldwide
December 4, 2018Rewterz Threat Advisory – SplitSpectre, a new Spectre-like CPU attack
December 5, 2018Multiple vulnerabilities in IBM QRadar Risk Manager, SIEM and Incident Forensics may lead to Denial of Service, Exposure of sensitive information and Spoofing.
IMPACT: NORMAL
PUBLISH DATE: 04-Dec-2018
OVERVIEW
IBM QRadar Risk Manager, IBM QRadar SIEM, and IBM QRadar Incident Forensics are found to contain vulnerabilities which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct spoofing attacks, disclose sensitive information, and cause a DoS (Denial of Service).
ANALYSIS
While parsing XML entities, an error occurs which can be exploited to disclose otherwise restricted information. It may also induce a Denial of Service condition via a specially crafted XML document that includes external entity references.
A Man-in-the-Middle (MitM) attack can be launched by exploiting an error that occurs while handling certificates. This way, an attacker may proceed to conduct successful spoofing attacks.
The vulnerabilities are reported in versions 7.2.0 through 7.2.8 Patch 13.

- IBM Security QRadar SIEM 7.x
- IBM Security QRadar Incident Forensics 7.2.x
