Vulnerability Details
CVEID: CVE-2024-4032
DESCRIPTION: An unspecified error with ipaddress considers some not globally reachable addresses global and vice versa in Python CPython has an unknown impact and attack vector.
CWE: CWE-697: Incorrect Comparison
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:H/I:N/A:N)
CVEID: CVE-2024-6232
DESCRIPTION: Python CPython is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by a regular expression denial of service (ReDoS) flaw when parsing TarFile headers. By using specially crafted tar archives, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause a denial of service.
Regular expressions that allowed excessive backtracking during tarfile.TarFile header parsing are vulnerable to ReDoS via specifically-crafted tar archives.
CWE: CWE-1333: Inefficient Regular Expression Complexity
CVSS Source: IBM X-Force
CVSS Base score: 5.5
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H)
CVEID: CVE-2024-6923
DESCRIPTION: There is a MEDIUM severity vulnerability affecting CPython.
The
email module didn’t properly quote newlines for email headers when
serializing an email message allowing for header injection when an email
is serialized.
CWE: CWE-94: Improper Control of Generation of Code ('Code Injection')
CVSS Source: CISA ADP
CVSS Base score: 5.5
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:U/C:L/I:L/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)
CVEID: CVE-2023-20584
DESCRIPTION: IOMMU improperly handles certain special address
ranges with invalid device table entries (DTEs), which may allow an attacker
with privileges and a compromised Hypervisor to
induce DTE faults to bypass RMP checks in SEV-SNP, potentially leading to a
loss of guest integrity.
CVSS Source: NVD
CVSS Base score: 6
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:C/C:N/I:H/A:N)
CVEID: CVE-2023-31315
DESCRIPTION: Multiple AMD Processors could allow a local authenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code on the system, caused by improper validation in a model specific register (MSR). By modifying SMM configuration while SMI lock is enabled, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code on the system.

CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:N)
CVEID: CVE-2024-39331
DESCRIPTION: GNU Emacs could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the system, caused by a code injection flaw in org-link-expand-abbrev in lisp/ol.el. By sending a specially crafted request, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code on the system.
CWE: CWE-94: Improper Control of Generation of Code ('Code Injection')
CVSS Source: IBM X-Force

DESCRIPTION: GNU Nano could allow a local authenticated attacker to gain elevated privileges on the system. By using an insecure temporary file, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to escalate privileges through a malicious symlink.
CWE: CWE-59: Improper Link Resolution Before File Access ('Link Following')
CVSS Source: CVE.org
CVSS Base score: 4.7
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:N)
CVEID: CVE-2024-25062
DESCRIPTION: An issue was discovered in libxml2 before 2.11.7 and 2.12.x before 2.12.5. When using the XML Reader interface with DTD validation and XInclude expansion enabled, processing crafted XML documents can lead to an xmlValidatePopElement use-after-free.

CVEID: CVE-2024-45490
DESCRIPTION: libexpat could provide weaker than expected security, caused by the failure to reject a negative length for XML_ParseBuffer. By providing a negative length value to the XML_ParseBuffer function, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause improper handling of XML data.
CWE: CWE-611: Improper Restriction of XML External Entity Reference
CVSS Source: IBM X-Force
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)

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.
