Security Bulletin: IBM Storage Fusion is vulnerable to denial of server, and security bypass due to Golang vulnerabilities.

Summary

Golang Go and Golang packages are used by IBM Storage Fusion and thus IBM Storage Fusion may be vulnerable to the vulnerabilities listed below. CVE-2022-29526, CVE-2022-21698, CVE-2021-41190, CVE-2018-20699, CVE-2024-24786, CVE-2023-39325, CVE-2023-48795.

Vulnerability Details

CVEID:CVE-2022-29526
**DESCRIPTION:**Golang Go could allow a remote attacker to obtain sensitive information, caused by a flaw in the Faccessat function when called with a non-zero flags parameter. By sending a specially-crafted request, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to obtain accessible file 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/229593 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N)

CVEID:CVE-2022-21698
**DESCRIPTION:**Prometheus Go client library (client_golang ) is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by a flaw when handling requests with non-standard HTTP methods. By sending specially-crafted HTTP requests, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause a memory exhaustion.
CVSS Base score: 7.5
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/219707 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-2021-41190
**DESCRIPTION:**Open Container Initiative Distribution Specification could allow a remote authenticated attacker to bypass security restrictions, caused by a flaw when a Content-Type header changed between two pulls of the same digest. By sending a specially-crafted request, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause a client to interpret the resulting content differently.
CVSS Base score: 3
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/213802 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:R/S:C/C:N/I:L/A:N)

CVEID:CVE-2018-20699
**DESCRIPTION:**Docker Engine is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by a dockerd memory consumption issue. By using a large integer in a --cpuset-mems or --cpuset-cpus value, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause a denial of service condition.
CVSS Base score: 5.3
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/155499 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L)

CVEID:CVE-2023-39325
**DESCRIPTION:**Golang Go is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by an uncontrolled resource consumption flaw in the net/http and x/net/http2 packages. By sending specially crafted requests using HTTP/2 client, 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/268645 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-2023-48795
**DESCRIPTION:**OpenSSH is vulnerable to a machine-in-the-middle attack, caused by a flaw in the extension negotiation process in the SSH transport protocol when used with certain OpenSSH extensions. A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to launch a machine-in-the-middle attack and strip an arbitrary number of messages after the initial key exchange, breaking SSH extension negotiation and downgrading the client connection security.
CVSS Base score: 5.9
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/275282 for the current score.
