Vulnerability Details

CVEID:   CVE-2024-3596
DESCRIPTION:   RADIUS Protocol under RFC 2865 is susceptible to forgery attacks by a local attacker who can modify any valid Response (Access-Accept, Access-Reject, or Access-Challenge) to any other response using a chosen-prefix collision attack against MD5 Response Authenticator signature.
CWE:   CWE-354: Improper Validation of Integrity Check Value
CVSS Source:   NVD
CVSS Base score:   9
CVSS Vector:   (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H)

CVEID:   CVE-2024-26462
DESCRIPTION:   Kerberos 5 is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by a memory leak in /krb5/src/kdc/ndr.c. By sending a specially crafted request, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause a denial of service.
CWE:   CWE-401: Missing Release of Memory after Effective Lifetime
CVSS Source:   IBM X-Force
CVSS Base score:   7.5
CVSS Vector:   (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H)

CVEID:   CVE-2024-26458
DESCRIPTION:   Kerberos 5 is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by a memory leak in /krb5/src/lib/rpc/pmap_rmt.c. By sending a specially crafted request, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause a denial of service.
CWE:   CWE-401: Missing Release of Memory after Effective Lifetime
CVSS Source:   IBM X-Force
CVSS Base score:   5.9
CVSS Vector:   (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H)

CVEID:   CVE-2024-26461
DESCRIPTION:   Kerberos 5 is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by a memory leak in /krb5/src/lib/gssapi/krb5/k5sealv3.c. By sending a specially crafted request, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause a denial of service.
CWE:   CWE-770: Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling
CVSS Source:   IBM X-Force
CVSS Base score:   5.9
CVSS Vector:   (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H)

CVEID:   CVE-2024-2236
DESCRIPTION:   GnuPG Libgcrypt could allow a remote attacker to obtain sensitive information, caused by a timing-based side-channel flaw in the RSA implementation. By using Bleichenbacher-style attack techniques, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to obtain sensitive information, and use this information to launch further attacks against the affected system.
CWE:   CWE-208: Observable Timing Discrepancy
CVSS Source:   IBM X-Force
CVSS Base score:   5.9
CVSS Vector:   (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N)

CVEID:   CVE-2024-4603
DESCRIPTION:   OpenSSL is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by improper input validation by the EVP_PKEY_param_check() or EVP_PKEY_public_check() function. By parsing a specially crafted DSA public key or DSA parameters, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause long delays, and results in a denial of service condition.
CWE:   CWE-606: Unchecked Input for Loop Condition
CVSS Source:   IBM X-Force
CVSS Base score:   3.7
CVSS Vector:   (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L)

CVEID:   CVE-2024-2511
DESCRIPTION:   OpenSSL is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by improper server configuration validation. By using a specially crafted server configuration, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause unbounded memory growth, and results in a denial of service condition.
CWE:   CWE-1325: Improperly Controlled Sequential Memory Allocation
CVSS Source:   IBM X-Force
CVSS Base score:   3.7
CVSS Vector:   (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L)

CVEID:   CVE-2024-4741
DESCRIPTION:   OpenSSL could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the system, caused by a use-after-free flaw in the SSL_free_buffers API function. By sending a specially crafted request, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service condition.
CWE:   CWE-416: Use After Free
CVSS Source:   IBM X-Force
CVSS Base score:   3.7
CVSS Vector:   (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L)

CVEID:   CVE-2024-5535
DESCRIPTION:   OpenSSL is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by a buffer over-read flaw in the SSL_select_next_proto API function when calling with an empty supported client protocols buffer. By sending a specially crafted request, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause a crash or memory contents to be sent to the peer.
CWE:   CWE-200: Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor
CVSS Source:   IBM X-Force
CVSS Base score:   3.7
CVSS Vector:   (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L)

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.
