Security Bulletin
Summary
IBM Spectrum Copy Data Management can be affected by vulnerabilities in Golang Go, Python, PostgreSQL and cURL libcurl. Vulnerabilities include viewing arbitrary files on the system, consuming all available resources, causing the system to crash, obtaining sensitive information, an unspecified error with return an incorrect result and denial of service attack, as described by the CVEs in the "Vulnerability Details" section.
Vulnerability Details
CVEID: CVE-2022-41722
DESCRIPTION: Golang Go could allow a remote attacker to traverse directories on the system, caused by a flaw in the the filepath.Clean function. An attacker could send a specially-crafted URL request containing "dot dot" sequences (/../) to view arbitrary files on the system.
CVSS Base score: 7.5
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/248952 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N)
CVEID: CVE-2022-41725
DESCRIPTION: Golang Go is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by a flaw when perform multipart form parsing with mime/multipart.Reader.ReadForm. By sending a specially-crafted request, a remote authenticated attacker could exploit this vulnerability to consume largely unlimited amounts of memory and disk files, and results in a denial of service condition.
CVSS Base score: 6.5
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/248957 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H)
CVEID: CVE-2022-41727
DESCRIPTION: Golang Go Images package is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by a flaw in DecodeConfig. By using a specially-crafted TIFF image file, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to consume a significant amount of memory, and results in a denial of service condition.
CVSS Base score: 7.5
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/248958 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-2020-10735
DESCRIPTION: Python is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by the failure to limit amount of digits converting text to int by the int() type in PyLong_FromString(). A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to consume all available resources.
CVSS Base score: 7.5
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/235840 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-2022-41862
DESCRIPTION: PostgreSQL could allow a remote attacker to obtain sensitive information, caused by a client memory disclosure flaw. By sending an unterminated string during the establishment of Kerberos transport encryption, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to obtain sensitive information.
CVSS Base score: 5.3
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/248100 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N)
CVEID: CVE-2023-23914
DESCRIPTION: cURL libcurl could allow a remote attacker to obtain sensitive information, caused by a flaw in the HSTS function when multiple URLs are requested serially. By sniffing the network traffic, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to obtain sensitive information, and use this information to launch further attacks against the affected system.
CVSS Base score: 7.5
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/247433 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N)
CVEID: CVE-2023-23915
DESCRIPTION: cURL libcurl could allow a remote attacker to obtain sensitive information, caused by a flaw in the HSTS function when multiple URLs are requested in parallel. By sniffing the network traffic, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to obtain sensitive information, and use this information to launch further attacks against the affected system.
CVSS Base score: 7.5
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/247436 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N)
CVEID: CVE-2023-23916
DESCRIPTION: cURL libcurl is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by a flaw in the decompression chain implementation. By sending a specially-crafted request, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause memory errors, and results in a denial of service condition.
CVSS Base score: 7.5
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/247437 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-2023-24532
DESCRIPTION: An unspecified error with return an incorrect result in the ScalarMult and ScalarBaseMult methods of the P256 Curve in Golang Go has an unknown impact and attack vector.
CVSS Base score: 5.3
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/249655 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.
