IBM Virtualization Engine TS7700 is susceptible to denial of service due to the use of IBM SDK Java Technology Edition, Version 8 (CVE-2023-22081, CVE-2023-5676). The Java SDK is used by the TS7700 to provide the Management Interface, to perform cache management, and to provide Transparent Cloud Tiering. IBM Virtualization Engine TS7700 has addressed the applicable CVEs.
CVEID:CVE-2023-22081
**DESCRIPTION:**An unspecified vulnerability in Java SE related to the JSSE component could allow a remote attacker to cause no confidentiality impact, no integrity impact, and low availability impact.
CVSS Base score: 5.3
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/268929 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-2023-5676
**DESCRIPTION:**Eclipse OpenJ9 is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by a flaw when a shutdown signal (SIGTERM, SIGINT or SIGHUP) is received before the JVM has finished initializing. By sending a specially crafted request, a local authenticated attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause an infinite busy hang on a spinlock or a segmentation fault.
CVSS Base score: 4.1
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/271615 for the current score.
