SB2024103134 - Multiple vulnerabilities in IBM Storage Defender - Resiliency Service

Description

This security bulletin contains information about 6 secuirty vulnerabilities.

1) Insufficient verification of data authenticity (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-34447)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass implemented security restrictions.

The vulnerability exists due to hostname verification is performed against a DNS-resolved IP address when endpoint identification is enabled in the BCJSSE and an SSL socket is not created with an explicit hostname. A remote attacker can bypass implemented security restrictions.

2) Infinite loop (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-30172)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to infinite loop in the Ed25519 verification code. A remote attacker can pass a specially signature and public key to the application, consume all available system resources and cause denial of service conditions.

3) Observable discrepancy (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-30171)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to sensitive information.

The vulnerability exists due to a possible timing based leakage in RSA based handshakes. A remote attacker can gain access to sensitive information.

4) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-29857)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to library does not properly control consumption of internal resources when importing an EC certificate with specially crafted F2m parameters. A remote attacker can pass a specially crafted certificate to the application to trigger resource exhaustion and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

5) Inefficient regular expression complexity (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-45296)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient input validation when processing untrusted input with a regular expressions. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted data to the application and perform regular expression denial of service (ReDos) attack.

6) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-44487)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to improperly control of consumption for internal resources when handling HTTP/2 requests with compressed HEADERS frames. A remote attacker can send a sequence of compressed HEADERS frames followed by RST_STREAM frames and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack, a.k.a. "Rapid Reset".

Note, the vulnerability is being actively exploited in the wild.
