Vulnerability Details

CVEID:   CVE-2024-33599
DESCRIPTION:   glibc is vulnerable to a stack-based buffer overflow, caused by improper bounds checking when the Name Service Cache Daemon's (nscd) fixed size cache is exhausted by client requests. By sending a subsequent client request, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to overflow a buffer and execute arbitrary code on the system.
CVSS Base score: 7.6
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/290172 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:H)

CVEID:   CVE-2023-45288
DESCRIPTION:   Golang Go is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by a memory exhaustion flaw due to flood of CONTINUATION frames in the HTTP/2 protocol stack in the net/http and x/net/http2 packages. By sending a specially crafted request, 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/286962 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-2024-27316
DESCRIPTION:   Apache HTTP Server is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by the failure to check or limit the use of HTTP/2 CONTINUATION frames that can be sent within a single stream. By sending a stream of CONTINUATION frames that will not be appended to the header list in memory but will still be processed and decoded by the server or will be appended to the header list, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause an out of memory (OOM) crash.
CVSS Base score: 7.5
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/286950 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-2024-33601
DESCRIPTION:   glibc is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by a memory allocation failure when the Name Service Cache Daemon's (nscd) netgroup cache uses the xmalloc or xrealloc functions. A local attacker could exploit this vulnerability to terminate the daemon.
CVSS Base score: 4
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/290170 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L)

CVEID:   CVE-2024-2961
DESCRIPTION:   GNU C Library is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by an out-of-bounds write flaw in the iconv() function when converting strings to the ISO-2022-CN-EXT character set. By persuading a victim to open a specially crafted content, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause the application to crash or overwrite a neighbouring variable.
CVSS Base score: 6.1
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/287843 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:H)

CVEID:   CVE-2024-28834
DESCRIPTION:   GnuTLS could allow a remote authenticated attacker to obtain sensitive information, caused by a flaw in the ECDSA code. By utilize Minerva attack techniques, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to obtain private key 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/286142 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N)

CVEID:   CVE-2024-33602
DESCRIPTION:   glibc is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by a memory corruption by the Name Service Cache Daemon's (nscd) netgroup cache when the NSS callback fails to store all strings in the provided buffer. A local attacker could exploit this vulnerability to corrupt memory and cause a denial of service.
CVSS Base score: 4
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/290169 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L)

CVEID:   CVE-2024-33600
DESCRIPTION:   glibc is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by a NULL pointer dereference when the Name Service Cache Daemon's (nscd) cache fails to add a not-found netgroup response to the cache. A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause a denial of service.
CVSS Base score: 5.3

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.
