RHSA-2026:0079

Vulnerability from csaf_redhat - Published: 2026-01-05 21:25 - Updated: 2026-06-25 11:12

Summary

Red Hat Security Advisory: perl security update

Severity

Moderate

Scope

1 vulnerability in this advisory, including CVE-2023-31484.

CVE-2023-31484

A flaw was found in Perl's CPAN, which doesn't check TLS certificates when downloading content. This happens due to `verify_SSL` missing when suing the `HTTP::Tiny` library during the connection. This may allow an attacker to inject into the network path and perform a Man-In-The-Middle attack, causing confidentiality or integrity issues.

7.4 (High)

IBM QRadar SIEM User Behavior Analytics: Mehrere Schwachstellen

Severity

Hoch

Scope

5 vulnerabilities in this advisory, including CVE-2023-31484.

CVE-2023-31484

Es bestehen mehrere Schwachstellen in IBM QRadar SIEM User Behavior Analytics. Diese Fehler bestehen in mehreren Komponenten wie CPAN.pm oder datatables.net, unter anderem aufgrund mehrerer sicherheitsrelevanter Probleme wie einer unsachgemäßen Validierung von TLS-Zertifikaten, einem Out-of-Bounds-Read oder einer unsachgemäßen Validierung der vom Benutzer bereitgestellten Eingaben. Ein entfernter, anonymer Angreifer kann diese Schwachstellen ausnutzen, um einen Denial-of-Service-Zustand auszulösen, einen Man-in-the-Middle-Angriff durchzuführen oder vertrauliche Informationen offenzulegen.

The MITRE ATT&CK techniques below are AI-generated suggestions, inferred from the description of the vulnerability by the CIRCL/vulnerability-attack-technique-classification-roberta-base model, served locally by ML-Gateway. They have not been verified by an analyst and are provided for guidance only.
The approach is described in our paper Mapping CVEs to MITRE ATT&CK Techniques: A Curated Gold-Set Classifier and the Limits of LLM-Assisted Label Expansion.
