There are vulnerabilities in the IPv6 and MQ components which affect the IBM FlashSystem™ V840. An exploit of these vulnerabilities (CVE-2016-10142 and CVE-2017-11176) could make the system susceptible to attacks which could allow an attacker to trigger a kernel panic or denial of service condition.
CVEID: CVE-2016-10142 DESCRIPTION: The IETF IPv6 protocol is vulnerable to a denial of service. By leveraging the generation of IPv6 atomic fragments and using the fragments in an arbitrary IPv6 flow, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to perform any type of a fragmentation-based attack against legacy IPv6 nodes and trigger a kernel panic.
CVSS Base Score: 8.6

CVEID: CVE-2017-11176 DESCRIPTION: Linux Kernel is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by a sock pointer not set to NULL in the mq_notify function. By sending a specially-crafted request, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause a denial of service condition.

**FlashSystem V840 fixesfor storage and controller node **are available @ IBM’s Fix Central
Although IBM recommends that you install a level of code with a fix for this vulnerability, you can mitigate, although not eliminate, your risk until you have done so by ensuring that all users who have access to the system are authenticated by another security system such as a firewall.
