Security Bulletin: Multiple vulnerabilities in Apache Tomcat affect SAN Volume Controller, Storwize family and FlashSystem V9000 products

Description

## Summary Vulnerabilities in the Apache Tomcat component affect the management GUI of SAN Volume Controller, Storwize family and FlashSystem V9000 products. The CLI interface is unaffected. The CVEs are CVE-2016-6796 CVE-2016-6816 CVE-2016-6817. ## Vulnerability Details **CVEID:** [_CVE-2016-6796_](<https://vulners.com/cve/CVE-2016-6796>)** DESCRIPTION:** Apache Tomcat could allow a local attacker to bypass security restrictions. By modifying configuration parameters for the JSP Servlet, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to bypass a configured SecurityManager. CVSS Base Score: 4 CVSS Temporal Score: See [_https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/118404_](<https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/118404>) for the current score CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N) **CVEID:** [_CVE-2016-6816_](<https://vulners.com/cve/CVE-2016-6816>)** DESCRIPTION:** Apache Tomcat is vulnerable to HTTP response splitting attacks, caused by improper validation of user-supplied input. A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to inject arbitrary HTTP headers and cause the server to return a split response, once the URL is clicked. This would allow the attacker to perform further attacks, such as Web cache poisoning or cross-site scripting, and possibly obtain sensitive information. CVSS Base Score: 6.1 CVSS Temporal Score: See [_https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/119158_](<https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/119158>) for the current score CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N) **CVEID:** [_CVE-2016-6817_](<https://vulners.com/cve/CVE-2016-6817>)** DESCRIPTION:** Apache Tomcat is vulnerable to a denial of service. By sending a specially crafted HTTP/2 header, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause the application to enter into an infinite loop. CVSS Base Score: 7.5 CVSS Temporal Score: See [_https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/119156_](<https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/119156>) for the current score CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H) ## Affected Products and Versions IBM SAN Volume Controller IBM Storwize V7000 IBM Storwize V5000 IBM Storwize V3700 IBM Storwize V3500 IBM FlashSystem V9000 All products are affected when running supported releases 7.1 to 7.8. For unsupported versions of the above products, IBM recommends upgrading to a fixed, supported version of the product. ## Remediation/Fixes IBM recommends that you fix this vulnerability by upgrading affected versions of IBM SAN Volume Controller, IBM Storwize V7000, V5000, V3700 and V3500 to the following code levels or higher: 7.6.1.7 7.7.1.6 7.8.0.2 7.8.1.0 [_Latest SAN Volume Controller Code_](<http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=591&uid=ssg1S1001707>) [_Latest Storwize V7000 Code_](<http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=ssg1S1003705>) [_Latest Storwize V5000 Code_](<http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=ssg1S1004336>) [_Latest Storwize V3700 Code_](<http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=ssg1S1004172>) [_Latest Storwize V3500 Code_](<http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=ssg1S1004171>) For IBM FlashSystem V9000, upgrade to the following code levels or higher: 7.6.1.7 7.7.1.6 7.8.0.2 7.8.1.0 [_Latest FlashSystem V9000 Code_](<https://www-945.ibm.com/support/fixcentral/swg/selectFixes?parent=Flash%2Bhigh%2Bavailability%2Bsystems&product=ibm/StorageSoftware/IBM+FlashSystem+V9000&release=All&platform=All&function=all>) ## Workarounds and Mitigations 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. ##
