Description

## Summary There is a vulnerability in Apache Struts which the IBM FlashSystem™ V840 is susceptible. An exploit of that vulnerability (CVE-2018-11776) could make the system susceptible to attacks which could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code on the system. ## Vulnerability Details **CVEID:** [CVE-2018-11776](<https://vulners.com/cve/CVE-2018-11776>) **DESCRIPTION:** Apache Struts could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the system, caused by an error when using results with no namespace and its upper action configurations have no wildcard namespace. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code on the system. CVSS Base Score: 9.8 CVSS Temporal Score: See <https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/148694> for the current score CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H) ## Affected Products and Versions Storage Node machine type and models (MTMs) affected:9840-AE1 and 9843-AE1 Controller Node MTMs affected: 9846-AC0, 9848-AC0, 9846-AC1, and 9848-AC1 Supported storage node code versions which are affected * VRMFs prior to 1.4.8.1 * VRMFs prior to 1.5.2.1 Supported controller node code versions which are affected * VRMFs prior to 7.8.1.8 * VRMFs prior to 8.1.3.4 ## Remediation/Fixes MTMs | VRMF | APAR | Remediation/First Fix ---|---|---|--- **Storage nodes**: 9846-AE1 & 9848-AE1 **Controller nodes**: 9846-AC0, 9846-AC1, 9848-AC0, & 9848-AC1 | Code fixes are now available, the minimum VRMF containing the fix depending on the code stream: _Fixed Code VRMF_ 1.5 stream: 1.5.2.1 1.4 stream: 1.4.8.1 _Controller Node VRMF_ 8.1 stream: 8.1.3.4 7.8 stream: 7.8.1.8 | N/A | FlashSystem V840 fixes for storage node are available @ IBM's Fix Central ## Workarounds and Mitigations None. ##
