Summary
IBM MQ Operator and Queue manager container images are vulnerable to glibc, Golang Go , Apache HTTP, IBM GSKit-Crypto and GnuTLS. This bulletin identifies the steps required to address these vulnerabilities.
Vulnerability Details
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.
CVSS Base score: 7.6
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/290172 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:H)
CVEID:CVE-2023-45288
**DESCRIPTION:**Golang Go is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by a memory exhaustion flaw due to flood of CONTINUATION frames in the HTTP/2 protocol stack in the net/http and x/net/http2 packages. By sending a specially crafted request, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause a denial of service condition.
CVSS Base score: 7.5
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/286962 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H)
CVEID:CVE-2024-27316
**DESCRIPTION:**Apache HTTP Server is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by the failure to check or limit the use of HTTP/2 CONTINUATION frames that can be sent within a single stream. By sending a stream of CONTINUATION frames that will not be appended to the header list in memory but will still be processed and decoded by the server or will be appended to the header list, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause an out of memory (OOM) crash.
CVSS Base score: 7.5
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/286950 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H)
CVEID:CVE-2024-33601
**DESCRIPTION:**glibc is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by a memory allocation failure when the Name Service Cache Daemon’s (nscd) netgroup cache uses the xmalloc or xrealloc functions. A local attacker could exploit this vulnerability to terminate the daemon.
CVSS Base score: 4
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/290170 for the current score.
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 is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by an out-of-bounds write flaw in the iconv() function when converting strings to the ISO-2022-CN-EXT character set. By persuading a victim to open a specially crafted content, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause the application to crash or overwrite a neighbouring variable.
CVSS Base score: 6.1
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/287843 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:H)
CVEID:CVE-2024-28834
**DESCRIPTION:**GnuTLS could allow a remote authenticated attacker to obtain sensitive information, caused by a flaw in the ECDSA code. By utilize Minerva attack techniques, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to obtain private key information, and use this information to launch further attacks against the affected system.
CVSS Base score: 5.3
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/286142 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N)
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.
CVSS Base score: 4
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/290169 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L)
CVEID:CVE-2024-33600
**DESCRIPTION:**glibc is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by a NULL pointer dereference when the Name Service Cache Daemon’s (nscd) cache fails to add a not-found netgroup response to the cache. A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause a denial of service.
CVSS Base score: 5.3
