Vulnerability Details
CVEID: CVE-2019-12900
DESCRIPTION: BZ2_decompress in decompress.c in bzip2 through 1.0.6 has an out-of-bounds write when there are many selectors.
CWE: CWE-787: Out-of-bounds Write
CVSS Source: IBM X-Force
CVSS Base score: 4
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L)
CVEID: CVE-2024-10041
DESCRIPTION: A vulnerability was found in PAM. The secret information is stored in memory, where the attacker can trigger the victim program to execute by sending characters to its standard input (stdin). As this occurs, the attacker can train the branch predictor to execute an ROP chain speculatively. This flaw could result in leaked passwords, such as those found in /etc/shadow while performing authentications.
CWE: CWE-922: Insecure Storage of Sensitive Information
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:H/I:N/A:N)
CVEID: CVE-2024-10963
DESCRIPTION: A flaw was found in pam_access, where certain rules in its configuration file are mistakenly treated as hostnames. This vulnerability allows attackers to trick the system by pretending to be a trusted hostname, gaining unauthorized access. This issue poses a risk for systems that rely on this feature to control who can access certain services or terminals.
CWE: CWE-287: Improper Authentication
CVSS Source: CVE.org
CVSS Base score: 6.5
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:N)
CVEID: CVE-2024-11168
DESCRIPTION: The urllib.parse.urlsplit() and urlparse() functions improperly validated bracketed hosts (`[]`), allowing hosts that weren't IPv6 or IPvFuture. This behavior was not conformant to RFC 3986 and potentially enabled SSRF if a URL is processed by more than one URL parser.
CWE: CWE-918: Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF)
CVSS Source: CISA ADP
CVSS Base score: 3.7
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N)
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-2024-26458
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)

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-2024-4603
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-2024-4741
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.

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.
