Security Bulletin: IBM DataPower Gateway vulnerable to multiple kernel CVEs

Summary

IBM DataPower Gateway has addressed multiple CVEs in 10.5.0.12

Vulnerability Details

CVEID:CVE-2023-2162
**DESCRIPTION:**Linux Kernel could allow a local attacker to obtain sensitive information, caused by a use-after-free flaw in the iscsi_sw_tcp_session_create function in drivers/scsi/iscsi_tcp.c in the SCSI sub-component. By sending a specially crafted request, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to obtain kernel internal information, and use this information to launch further attacks against the affected system.
CVSS Base score: 6.2
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/253490 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N)

CVEID:CVE-2023-1073
**DESCRIPTION:**Linux Kernel could allow a physical authenticated attacker to gain elevated privileges on the system, caused by a memory corruption flaw in the human interface device (HID) subsystem. By using a specially crafted USB device , an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to gain elevated privileges or cause a denial of service condition.
CVSS Base score: 6.3
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/251322 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:P/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H)

CVEID:CVE-2023-45871
**DESCRIPTION:**Linux Kernel is vulnerable to a buffer overflow, caused by improper bounds checking by the IGB driver in drivers/net/ethernet/intel/igb/igb_main.c. By sending a specially crafted request, a remote attacker from within the local network could overflow a buffer and execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service.
CVSS Base score: 7.5
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/268717 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:A/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H)
