Security Bulletin
Summary
OpenSSL and Libexpat used by IBM MQ Operator and Queue Manager container images are vulnerable to denial of service due to improper memory allocation, and providing weaker than expected security which might allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code on the system. This bulletin identifies the steps required to address these vulnerabilities.
Vulnerability Details
CVEID: CVE-2024-45490
DESCRIPTION: libexpat could provide weaker than expected security, caused by not reject a negative length for XML_ParseBuffer. A local attacker could exploit this vulnerability to launch further attacks on the system.
CWE: CWE-190: Integer Overflow or Wraparound
CVSS Source: NVD
CVSS Base score: 7.5
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H)
CVEID: CVE-2024-45491
DESCRIPTION: libexpat could allow a local attacker to execute arbitrary code on the system, caused by an integer overflow in the dtdCopy function in xmlparse.c. By sending a specially crafted request, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code on the system.
CWE: CWE-190: Integer Overflow or Wraparound
CVSS Source: CISA ADP
CVSS Base score: 7.3
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:L)
CVEID: CVE-2024-6119
DESCRIPTION: OpenSSL is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by an error when performing certificate name checks (e.g., TLS clients checking server certificates). By sending a specially crafted request, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to read an invalid memory address resulting in abnormal termination of the application process.
CWE: CWE-843: Access of Resource Using Incompatible Type ('Type Confusion')
CVSS Source: CISA ADP
CVSS Base score: 7.5
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N)
CVEID: CVE-2024-45492
DESCRIPTION: libexpat could allow a local attacker to execute arbitrary code on the system, caused by an integer overflow in the nextScaffoldPart function in xmlparse.c. By sending a specially crafted request, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code on the system.
CWE: CWE-190: Integer Overflow or Wraparound
CVSS Source: CISA ADP
CVSS Base score: 7.3

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.
