Security Bulletin
Summary
IBM Spectrum Protect Plus can be affected by vulnerabilities in Node.js, XStream, and Linux kernel. Vulnerabilities include causing a denial of service condition and HTTP request smuggling, as described by the CVEs in the "Vulnerability Details" section. These vulnerabilities have been addressed.
Vulnerability Details
CVEID: CVE-2022-3106
DESCRIPTION: Linux Kernel is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by the lacking check of return value of kmalloc() in ef100_update_stats in drivers/net/ethernet/sfc/ef100_nic.c. A local attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause a null pointer dereference, leading to a denial of service.
CVSS Base score: 6.2
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/242226 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H)
CVEID: CVE-2022-3108
DESCRIPTION: Linux Kernel is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by the lacking check of return value of kmemdup() in lkfd_parse_subtype_iolink in drivers/gpudrm/amd/amdkfd/kfd_crat.c . A local attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause a null pointer dereference, leading to a denial of service.
CVSS Base score: 6.2
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/242225 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H)
CVEID: CVE-2022-40152
DESCRIPTION: XStream is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by a stack-based buffer overflow. By sending a specially-crafted XML data, a remote authenticated attacker could exploit this vulnerability to causes the parser to crash, and results in a denial of service condition.
CVSS Base score: 6.5
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/236355 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-2022-3105
DESCRIPTION: Linux Kernel is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by the lacking check of return value of kmalloc_array() in uapi_finalize in drivers/infiniband/core/uverbs_uapi.c. A local attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause a null pointer dereference, leading to a denial of service.
CVSS Base score: 6.2
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/242227 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H)
CVEID: CVE-2022-35256
DESCRIPTION: Node.js is vulnerable to HTTP request smuggling, caused by the failure to correctly handle header fields that are not terminated with CLRF by the llhttp parser in the http module. A remote attacker could send a specially-crafted request to lead to HTTP Request Smuggling (HRS). An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to poison the web cache, bypass web application firewall protection, and conduct XSS attacks.
CVSS Base score: 6.5
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/236964 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:N)
CVEID: CVE-2022-3107
DESCRIPTION: Linux Kernel is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by the lack of checking the return value of kvmalloc_array() in netvsc_get_ethtool_stats in drivers/net/hyperv/netvsc_drv.c l. A local attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause a null pointer dereference, leading to a denial of service.
CVSS Base score: 6.2
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/242222 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H)
IBM X-Force ID: 237508
DESCRIPTION: Node.js npm CLI module is vulnerable to a denial of service. By stripping the trailing slash from `files` arguments and passing untrusted input into the `tar.extract()` or `tar.list()` array of entries to parse/extract, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause a regular expression denial of service.
CVSS Base score: 5.9
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/237508 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.
