Security Bulletin: IBM Watson Discovery for IBM Cloud Pak for Data affected by vulnerability in Go

Summary

IBM Watson Discovery for IBM Cloud Pak for Data contains a vulnerable version of Go

Vulnerability Details

CVEID:CVE-2024-1394
**DESCRIPTION:**Golang golang-fips/openssl is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by memory leaks in code encrypting and decrypting rsa payloads. By using specially crafted public RSA keys which are not compliant with SP 800-56B, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to exhaust all available resources.
CVSS Base score: 7.5
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/286318 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-2023-45287
**DESCRIPTION:**Golang Go could allow a remote attacker to obtain sensitive information, caused by a timing-side channel attack in the RSA based key exchange methods in crypto/tls. The removal of of PKCS#1 padding could allow a remote attacker to leak timing information, which in turn could be used to recover session key bits.
CVSS Base score: 7.5
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/273499 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N)

CVEID:CVE-2023-45283
**DESCRIPTION:**Golang Go could allow a remote attacker to traverse directories on the system, caused by the failure to recognize paths with a ??\ prefix as a Root Local Device path prefix in the filepath and safefilepath package. An attacker could send a specially crafted URL request containing “dot dot” sequences (/…/) to view arbitrary files on the system.
CVSS Base score: 5.3
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/270990 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-2023-45284
**DESCRIPTION:**Golang Go could provide weaker than expected security, caused by the failure to correctly detect reserved device names in some cases by the IsLocal function in the filepath package. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to report “COM1”, and reserved names “COM” and “LPT” followed by superscript 1, 2, or 3 as local.
CVSS Base score: 5.3
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/270989 for the current score.
