CVEID:CVE-2024-1737
**DESCRIPTION:**ISC BIND is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by an error when content is being added or updated in resolver caches and authoritative zone databases that hold significant numbers of RRs for the same hostname (of any RTYPE). By processing queries, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause the database to slow down.
CVSS Base score: 7.5
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/298433 for the current score.

CVEID:CVE-2024-1975
**DESCRIPTION:**ISC BIND is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by an error if a server hosts a zone containing a “KEY” Resource Record, or a resolver DNSSEC-validates a “KEY” Resource Record from a DNSSEC-signed domain in cache. By sending a stream of SIG(0) signed requests, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to exhaust all available CPU resources.
CVSS Base score: 7.5
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/298434 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-2024-38428
**DESCRIPTION:**GNU Wget could allow a remote authenticated attacker to bypass security restrictions, caused by the mishandling of semicolons in the userinfo subcomponent of a URI. By sending a specially crafted request, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to perform unauthorized actions.
CVSS Base score: 5.4
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/295097 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:N)

CVEID:CVE-2024-26906
**DESCRIPTION:**Linux Kernel is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by an error related to vsyscall page read for copy_from_kernel_nofault(). By sending a specially crafted request, a local authenticated attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause a denial of service.
CVSS Base score: 5.5
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/297465 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H)

CVEID:CVE-2024-26982
**DESCRIPTION:**Linux Kernel is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by an error related to checking the inode number is not the invalid value of zero. By sending a specially crafted request, a local authenticated attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause a denial of service.
CVSS Base score: 5.5
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/297467 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H)

CVEID:CVE-2024-3933
**DESCRIPTION:**Eclipse Openj9 could allow a local authenticated attacker to bypass security restrictions, caused by the failure to restrict access to a buffer with an incorrect length value when executing an arraycopy sequence while the Concurrent Scavenge Garbage Collection cycle is active and the source and destination memory regions for arraycopy overlap. By sending a specially crafted request, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to gain read and write to addresses beyond the end of the array range.
CVSS Base score: 5.3
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/292491 for the current score.
