Security Bulletin: IBM Spectrum Control is vulnerable to multiple weaknesses related to IBM WebSphere Application Server Liberty and OpenSSL (CVE-2022-2068, CVE-2022-2097, CVE-2022-22475)

Summary

Vulnerabilities in IBM WebSphere Application Server Liberty and OpenSSL such as execution of arbitrary commands on the system, obtaining sensitive information, and identity spoofing may affect IBM Spectrum Control.

Vulnerability Details

CVEID:CVE-2022-2068
**DESCRIPTION:**OpenSSL could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary commands on the system, caused by improper validation of user-supplied input by the c_rehash script. By sending a specially-crafted request using shell metacharacters, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary commands with the privileges of the script on the system.
CVSS Base score: 7.3
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/226018 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:L)

CVEID:CVE-2022-2097
**DESCRIPTION:**OpenSSL could allow a remote attacker to obtain sensitive information, caused by improper encryption of data by the AES OCB mode for 32-bit x86 platforms using the AES-NI assembly optimised implementation. By sending a specially-crafted request, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to obtain sensitive information, and use this information to launch further attacks against the affected system.
