Security Bulletin
Summary
IBM Storage Copy Data Management can be affected by vulnerabilities in Apache Tomcat, Apache Commons FileUpload, and Apache Axis. A remote attacker could exploit these vulnerabilities to cause a denial of service condition, to obtain a session cookie, sensitive and Http11Processor instance information and use this informations to launch further attacks against the affected system, to conduct XSS attacks, to conduct SSRF attack, using a specially crafted URL to redirect a victim to arbitrary Web sites, to continue to use the socket after it has been closed, to cause the application to enter into an infinite loop, and to obtain sensitive information leaking from the current request/response to the next, as described by the CVEs in the "Vulnerability Details" section.
Vulnerability Details
CVEID: CVE-2023-24998
DESCRIPTION: Apache Commons FileUpload and Tomcat are vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by not limit the number of request parts to be processed in the file upload function. By sending a specially-crafted request with series of uploads, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause a denial of service condition.
CVSS Base score: 7.5
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/247895 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-2023-28708
DESCRIPTION: Apache Tomcat could allow a remote attacker to obtain sensitive information, caused by the missing of secure attribute in some configurations for JSESSIONID Cookie when using the RemoteIpFilter.

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.
