Security Bulletin


Summary

Golang Go and Golang packages are used by IBM Storage Fusion and thus IBM Storage Fusion may be vulnerable to the vulnerabilities listed below. CVE-2022-29526, CVE-2022-21698, CVE-2021-41190, CVE-2018-20699, CVE-2024-24786, CVE-2023-39325, CVE-2023-48795.

Vulnerability Details

CVEID:   CVE-2022-29526
DESCRIPTION:   Golang Go could allow a remote attacker to obtain sensitive information, caused by a flaw in the Faccessat function when called with a non-zero flags parameter. By sending a specially-crafted request, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to obtain accessible file information, and use this information to launch further attacks against the affected system.
CVSS Base score: 5.3
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/229593 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-2022-21698
DESCRIPTION:   Prometheus Go client library (client_golang ) is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by a flaw when handling requests with non-standard HTTP methods. By sending specially-crafted HTTP requests, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause a memory exhaustion.
CVSS Base score: 7.5
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/219707 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-2021-41190
DESCRIPTION:   Open Container Initiative Distribution Specification could allow a remote authenticated attacker to bypass security restrictions, caused by a flaw when a Content-Type header changed between two pulls of the same digest. By sending a specially-crafted request, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause a client to interpret the resulting content differently.
CVSS Base score: 3
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/213802 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:R/S:C/C:N/I:L/A:N)

CVEID:   CVE-2018-20699
DESCRIPTION:   Docker Engine is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by a dockerd memory consumption issue. By using a large integer in a --cpuset-mems or --cpuset-cpus value, 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/155499 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-2023-39325
DESCRIPTION:   Golang Go is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by an uncontrolled resource consumption flaw in the net/http and x/net/http2 packages. By sending specially crafted requests using HTTP/2 client, 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/268645 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-2023-48795
DESCRIPTION:   OpenSSH is vulnerable to a machine-in-the-middle attack, caused by a flaw in the extension negotiation process in the SSH transport protocol when used with certain OpenSSH extensions. A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to launch a machine-in-the-middle attack and strip an arbitrary number of messages after the initial key exchange, breaking SSH extension negotiation and downgrading the client connection security.
CVSS Base score: 5.9
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/275282 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:A/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:L/A:N)

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.
