SECURITY: MULTIPLE GSKIT VULNERABILITIES IN IBM DB2 (CVE-2012-2190, CVE-2012-2191, CVE-2012-2203, CVE-2013-0169). | |

Problem description: | |
GSKit is an IBM product that is used by DB2 for SSL support. The GSKit that is shipped with DB2 contains multiple security vulnerabilities. By default, DB2 does not use SSL for client-server communication and therefore, DB2 not vulnerable if SSL is not enabled. CVE ID: CVE-2012-2190 and CVE-2012-2191 Description: By sending specially-crafted Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) packets to the vulnerable DB2 server, a remote attacker could cause the DB2 server to trap. CVE ID: CVE-2012-2203 Description: A vulnerability in GSKit allows an attacker to insertion an arbitrary root Certification Authority certificate into its key store. CVE ID: CVE-2013-0169 Description: The Transport Layer Security protocol does not properly consider timing side-channel attacks, which allows remote attackers to conduct distinguishing attacks and plain-text recovery attacks via statistical analysis of timing data for crafted packets, aka the "Lucky Thirteen" issue. The attack does not require local network access nor does it require authentication, but some degree of specialized knowledge and techniques are required. An exploit may impact the confidentiality of information but the integrity of data, or the availability of the system would not be compromised. | |
