Security Bulletin: Multiple Vulnerabilities in Open Source affect Cloud Pak System

Vulnerability Details

CVEID:   CVE-2024-28757
DESCRIPTION:   libexpat could allow a remote attacker to obtain sensitive information, caused by improper handling of XML external entity (XXE) declarations by the XML_ExternalEntityParserCreate function. By using a specially crafted XML content, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to obtain sensitive information, and use this information to launch further attacks against the affected system.
CWE:   CWE-611: Improper Restriction of XML External Entity Reference
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-2023-3446
DESCRIPTION:   OpenSSL is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by a flaw when using the DH_check(), DH_check_ex() or EVP_PKEY_param_check() functions to check a DH key or DH parameters. By sending a specially crafted request using long DH keys or parameters, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause long delays, and results in a denial of service condition.
CWE:   CWE-20: Improper Input Validation
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-2024-33599
DESCRIPTION:   glibc is vulnerable to a stack-based buffer overflow, caused by improper bounds checking when the Name Service Cache Daemon's (nscd) fixed size cache is exhausted by client requests. By sending a subsequent client request, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to overflow a buffer and execute arbitrary code on the system.
CWE:   CWE-121: Stack-based Buffer Overflow
CVSS Source:   IBM X-Force
CVSS Base score:   7.6
CVSS Vector:   (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:H)

CVEID:   CVE-2023-5678
DESCRIPTION:   Openssl is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by a flaw when using DH_generate_key() function to generate an X9.42 DH key. By sending a specially crafted request, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause a denial of service condition.
CWE:   CWE-20: Improper Input Validation
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-2024-33602
DESCRIPTION:   glibc is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by a memory corruption by the Name Service Cache Daemon's (nscd) netgroup cache when the NSS callback fails to store all strings in the provided buffer. A local attacker could exploit this vulnerability to corrupt memory and cause a denial of service.
CWE:   CWE-466: Return of Pointer Value Outside of Expected Range
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-2024-2961
DESCRIPTION:   GNU C Library could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the system, caused by an out-of-bounds write in the ISO-2022-CN-EXT plugin. By sending specially crafted input, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to overwrite critical data structures and execute arbitrary code on the system or cause the application to crash.
CWE:   CWE-787: Out-of-bounds Write
CVSS Source:   IBM X-Force
CVSS Base score:   8.8
CVSS Vector:   (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H)

CVEID:   CVE-2023-3817
DESCRIPTION:   OpenSSL is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by a flaw when using the DH_check(), DH_check_ex() or EVP_PKEY_param_check() functions to check a DH key or DH parameters. By sending a specially crafted request, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause long delays, and results in a denial of service condition.
