Vulnerability Details
CVEID: CVE-2019-25033
DESCRIPTION: Unbound could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the system, caused by an integer overflow in the regional allocator. By using the ALIGN_UP macro, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code on the system.
CVSS Base score: 9.8
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/200872 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H)
CVEID: CVE-2022-3094
DESCRIPTION: ISC BIND is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by the allocation of memory prior to the checking of access permissions (ACLs). By sending an UPDATE message flood, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause named to exhaust all available memory.
CVSS Base score: 7.5
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/245430 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H)
CVEID: CVE-2022-35205
DESCRIPTION: GNU Binutils is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by a reachable assertion failure in function display_debug_names. By using a specially crafted file, a local attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause a denial of service.
CVSS Base score: 4
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/264302 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L)
CVEID: CVE-2022-35206
DESCRIPTION: GNU Binutils is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by a NULL pointer dereference vulnerability in function read_and_display_attr_value in file dwarf.c. By using a specially crafted file, a local attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause a denial of service.
CVSS Base score: 4
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/264303 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L)
CVEID: CVE-2022-48468
DESCRIPTION: An unsigned integer overflow in parse_required_member in protobuf-c has an unknown impact and attack vector.
CVSS Base score: 7.3
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/253266 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:L)
CVEID: CVE-2023-22745
DESCRIPTION: tpm2-tss is vulnerable to a buffer overflow, caused by improper bounds checking by the Tss2_RC_SetHandler and Tss2_RC_Decode function. By sending a specially-crafted request, a local authenticated attacker could overflow a buffer and execute arbitrary code on the system.
CVSS Base score: 6.4
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/245269 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:H/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H)
CVEID: CVE-2023-36049
DESCRIPTION: Microsoft .NET, .NET Framework and Visual Studio could allow a remote authenticated attacker to gain elevated privileges on the system. By injecting arbitrary commands in the FTP server, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to escalate privileges.
CVSS Base score: 7.6
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/270963 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:H/A:L)
CVEID: CVE-2023-36558
DESCRIPTION: Microsoft ASP.NET could allow a local attacker to bypass security restriction. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to bypass validations on Blazor Server forms.
CVSS Base score: 6.2
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/270918 for the current score.

Disclaimer
According to the Forum of Incident Response and Security Teams (FIRST), the Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) is an "industry open standard designed to convey vulnerability severity and help to determine urgency and priority of response." IBM PROVIDES THE CVSS SCORES ""AS IS"" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. CUSTOMERS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR ASSESSING THE IMPACT OF ANY ACTUAL OR POTENTIAL SECURITY VULNERABILITY. In addition to other efforts to address potential vulnerabilities, IBM periodically updates the record of components contained in our product offerings. As part of that effort, if IBM identifies previously unidentified packages in a product/service inventory, we address relevant vulnerabilities regardless of CVE date. Inclusion of an older CVEID does not demonstrate that the referenced product has been used by IBM since that date, nor that IBM was aware of a vulnerability as of that date. We are making clients aware of relevant vulnerabilities as we become aware of them. "Affected Products and Versions" referenced in IBM Security Bulletins are intended to be only products and versions that are supported by IBM and have not passed their end-of-support or warranty date. Thus, failure to reference unsupported or extended-support products and versions in this Security Bulletin does not constitute a determination by IBM that they are unaffected by the vulnerability. Reference to one or more unsupported versions in this Security Bulletin shall not create an obligation for IBM to provide fixes for any unsupported or extended-support products or versions.
