Security Bulletin
Summary
Several vulnerabilities in Watson Machine Learning Accelerator on Cloud Pak for Data 5.0.0 have been fixed in Watson Machine Learning Accelerator on Cloud Pak for Data 5.0 latest refresh.
Vulnerability Details
DESCRIPTION: Hugging Face Transformers could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the system, caused by an unsafe deserialization in the load_repo_checkpoint() function under the TFPreTrainedModel() class. By persuading a victim to load specially crafted payload during a normal training process, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code on the system.
CWE: CWE-502: Deserialization of Untrusted Data
CVSS Source: IBM X-Force
CVSS Base score: 3.4
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:N/I:N/A:L)
CVEID: CVE-2024-25026
DESCRIPTION: IBM WebSphere Application Server 8.5, 9.0 and IBM WebSphere Application Server Liberty 17.0.0.3 through 24.0.0.4 are vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by sending a specially crafted request. A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause the server to consume memory resources. IBM X-Force ID: 281516.
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-2018-20225
DESCRIPTION: Pip could allow a local attacker to execute arbitrary code on the system, caused by a flaw in the --extra-index-url option. By sending a specially crafted request, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code on the system. Note: This vulnerability is being disputed as the vulnerability being reported is the intended functionality and the user is responsible for using --extra-index-url securely.
CWE: CWE-20: Improper Input Validation
CVSS Source: IBM X-Force
CVSS Base score: 7.8
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H)
CVEID: CVE-2024-28102
DESCRIPTION: JWCrypto is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by improper input validation. By sending a specially crafted JWE Token with a high compression ratio, a remote authenticated attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause a denial of service condition.
CWE: CWE-770: Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling
CVSS Source: CVE.org
CVSS Base score: 6.8
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:C/C:N/I:N/A:H)
CVEID: CVE-2024-34069
DESCRIPTION: Pallets Werkzeug could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the system, caused by improper usage of a pathname and improper CSRF protection in the debugger. By persuading a victim to interact with a domain and subdomain they control, enter the debugger PIN and guess a URL in the developer's application that will trigger the debugger, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code on the system.
CWE: CWE-352: Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF)
CVSS Source: IBM X-Force
CVSS Base score: 7.5
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H)
CVEID: CVE-2024-27318
DESCRIPTION: Versions of the package onnx before and including 1.15.0 are vulnerable to Directory Traversal as the external_data field of the tensor proto can have a path to the file which is outside the model current directory or user-provided directory. The vulnerability occurs as a bypass for the patch added for CVE-2022-25882.
CWE: CWE-22: Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal')
CVSS Source: NVD
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-2023-25193
DESCRIPTION: Harfbuzz is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by an error in hb-ot-layout-gsubgpos.hh. By using consecutive marks during the process of looking back for base glyphs when attaching marks, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to trigger O(n^2) growth and cause a denial of service.
CWE: CWE-770: Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling
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)

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.
