Description

## Summary There are security vulnerabilities in versions of Linux Kernel that are shipped with versions of IBM Elastic Storage System. A fix for these vulnerabilities is available. ## Vulnerability Details ** CVEID: **[CVE-2020-10774](<https://vulners.com/cve/CVE-2020-10774>) ** DESCRIPTION: **Linux Kernel could allow a local authenticated attacker to obtain sensitive information, caused by a flaw in the sysctl subsystem. By reading the file /proc/sys/kernel/rh_features, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to obtain uninitialized values from the kernel memory. CVSS Base score: 5.5 CVSS Temporal Score: See: [ https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/192481](<https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/192481>) for the current score. CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N) ** CVEID: **[CVE-2020-14351](<https://vulners.com/cve/CVE-2020-14351>) ** DESCRIPTION: **Linux Kernel could allow a local authenticated attacker to gain elevated privileges on the system, caused by a use-after-free memory flaw in the implementation of performance counters. By sending a specially-crafted request, an authenticated attacker could exploit this vulnerability to gain elevated privileges and execute code in the context of the kernel.. CVSS Base score: 7.8 CVSS Temporal Score: See: [ https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/192489](<https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/192489>) for the current score. CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H) ## Affected Products and Versions Affected Product(s)| Version(s) ---|--- IBM Elastic Storage System| 6.0.0 - 6.0.2.0 ## Remediation/Fixes IBM recommends that you fix this vulnerability by upgrading affected versions of IBM Elastic Storage System 3000 and 5000 to the following code levels or higher: V6.0.2.1 [https://www.ibm.com/support/fixcentral/swg/selectFixes?parent=Software%20defined%20storage&product=ibm/StorageSoftware/IBM+Elastic+Storage+Server+(ESS)&release=6.0.0&platform=All&function=all](<https://www.ibm.com/support/fixcentral/swg/selectFixes?parent=Software%20defined%20storage&product=ibm/StorageSoftware/IBM+Elastic+Storage+Server+%28ESS%29&release=6.0.0&platform=All&function=all>) ## Workarounds and Mitigations None ##
