A vulnerability in the zlib package used by IBM Spectrum Virtualize may result in a denial of service for the whole application if an attacker is able to inject crafted input.
CVEID:CVE-2018-25032
**DESCRIPTION:**Zlib is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by a memory corruption in the deflate operation. By using many distant matches, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause the application to crash.
CVSS Base score: 7.5

This requires the compression feature to be in use, falling back to software-only compression because hardware accelerated compression isn’t working and for an attacker to have access to inject deliberately crafted I/O to exploit the vulnerability - or for such an I/O workload to be ran accidentally.
The vulnerability can therefore be mitigated simply by resolving any errors involving compression hardware - or not using compression at all - and is unlikely to be exploited even in that event.
