CVEID:   CVE-2024-6345
DESCRIPTION:   pypa/setuptools could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the system, caused by an error in the package_index module.

CVEID:   CVE-2024-1975
DESCRIPTION:   ISC BIND is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by an error if a server hosts a zone containing a "KEY" Resource Record, or a resolver DNSSEC-validates a "KEY" Resource Record from a DNSSEC-signed domain in cache. By sending a stream of SIG(0) signed requests, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to exhaust all available CPU resources.
CVSS Base score: 7.5
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/298434 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-2024-38428
DESCRIPTION:   GNU Wget could allow a remote authenticated attacker to bypass security restrictions, caused by the mishandling of semicolons in the userinfo subcomponent of a URI. By sending a specially crafted request, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to perform unauthorized actions.
CVSS Base score: 5.4
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/295097 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:N)

CVEID:   CVE-2024-26906
DESCRIPTION:   Linux Kernel is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by an error related to vsyscall page read for copy_from_kernel_nofault(). By sending a specially crafted request, a local authenticated attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause a denial of service.
CVSS Base score: 5.5
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/297465 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H)

CVEID:   CVE-2024-26982
DESCRIPTION:   Linux Kernel is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by an error related to checking the inode number is not the invalid value of zero. By sending a specially crafted request, a local authenticated attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause a denial of service.
CVSS Base score: 5.5
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/297467 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H)

CVEID:   CVE-2024-3933
DESCRIPTION:   Eclipse Openj9 could allow a local authenticated attacker to bypass security restrictions, caused by the failure to restrict access to a buffer with an incorrect length value when executing an arraycopy sequence while the Concurrent Scavenge Garbage Collection cycle is active and the source and destination memory regions for arraycopy overlap. By sending a specially crafted request, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to gain read and write to addresses beyond the end of the array range.
CVSS Base score: 5.3
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/292491 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:L)

CVEID:   CVE-2024-34064
DESCRIPTION:   Jinja is vulnerable to cross-site scripting, caused by the acceptance of keys containing non-attribute characters by the `xmlattr` filter. A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to inject other attributes into a Web page which would be executed in a victims Web browser within the security context of the hosting Web site, once the page is viewed. An attacker could use this vulnerability to steal the victim's cookie-based authentication credentials.
CVSS Base score: 5.4
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/290008 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.
