Vulnerability Details

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-2023-48795
**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.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:A/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:L/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-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-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-2023-45288
**DESCRIPTION:**Golang Go is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by a memory exhaustion flaw due to flood of CONTINUATION frames in the HTTP/2 protocol stack in the net/http and x/net/http2 packages. By sending a specially crafted request, 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/286962 for the current score.
