Vulnerability Details

CVEID:   CVE-2023-39410
DESCRIPTION:   Apache Avro Java SDK could allow a remote authenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code on the system, caused by an unsafe deserialization flaw. By sending specially crafted input, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service condition on the system.
CVSS Base score: 9.8
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/267324 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-2023-34054
DESCRIPTION:   VMware Tanzu Reactor Netty is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by a flaw when built-in integration with Micrometer is enabled. By sending specially crafted HTTP requests, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause a denial of service condition.
CVSS Base score: 5.3
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/272536 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L)

CVEID:   CVE-2024-1597
DESCRIPTION:   PostgreSQL JDBC Driver (PgJDBC) is vulnerable to SQL injection. A remote attacker could send specially crafted SQL statements when using the non-default connection property preferQueryMode=simple in combination with application code that has a vulnerable SQL that negates a parameter value, which could allow the attacker to view, add, modify or delete information in the back-end database.
CVSS Base score: 10
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/283693 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H)

CVEID:   CVE-2023-34462
DESCRIPTION:   Netty is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by a flaw with allocating up to 16MB of heap for each channel during the TLS handshake the SniHandler class. By sending a specially crafted client hello packet, a remote authenticated attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause a OutOfMemoryError and so result in a denial of service condition.
CVSS Base score: 6.5
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/258713 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-2023-34062
DESCRIPTION:   VMware Tanzu Reactor Netty could allow a remote attacker to traverse directories on the system, caused by improper validation of user request. 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/271850 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-2023-44487
DESCRIPTION:   Multiple vendors are vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by a flaw in handling multiplexed streams in the HTTP/2 protocol. By sending numerous HTTP/2 requests and RST_STREAM frames over multiple streams, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause a denial of service due to server resource consumption.
CVSS Base score: 7.5
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/268044 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)

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.
