What to do
If your data collectors were upgraded automatically, no action is required. If your data collectors were not upgraded, you must manually upgrade them to benefit from the security fixes. To manually upgrade your data collectors, ensure that you have the Administrator role and click Upgrade on the Configuration > Data Collectors page.
To verify that the upgrades were successful, check the Status value on the Data Collectors page. If you encounter issues or the upgrades failed, you can get help in the IBM Documentation for IBM Storage Insights.
Details
After you upgrade your data collectors, you're protected against the following vulnerabilities:
-
CVE-2022-2068: In addition to the c_rehash shell command injection identified in CVE-2022-1292, further circumstances where the c_rehash script does not properly sanitize shell metacharacters to prevent command injection were found by code review. When the CVE-2022-1292 was fixed it was not discovered that there are other places in the script where the file names of certificates being hashed were possibly passed to a command executed through the shell. This script is distributed by some operating systems in a manner where it is automatically executed. On such operating systems, an attacker could execute arbitrary commands with the privileges of the script. Fixed in OpenSSL 3.0.4 (Affected 3.0.0,3.0.1,3.0.2,3.0.3). Fixed in OpenSSL 1.1.1p (Affected 1.1.1-1.1.1o). Fixed in OpenSSL 1.0.2zf (Affected 1.0.2-1.0.2ze). Details: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/226018
-
CVE-2022-2097: AES OCB mode for 32-bit x86 platforms using the AES-NI assembly optimised implementation will not encrypt the entirety of the data under some circumstances. This could reveal sixteen bytes of data that was preexisting in the memory that wasn't written. In the special case of "in place" encryption, sixteen bytes of the plaintext would be revealed. Since OpenSSL does not support OCB based cipher suites for TLS and DTLS, they are both unaffected. Fixed in OpenSSL 3.0.5 (Affected 3.0.0-3.0.4). Fixed in OpenSSL 1.1.1q (Affected 1.1.1-1.1.1p). Details: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/230425
