There are vulnerabilities in the Linux kernel to which the IBM FlashSystem™ 840 and FlashSystem 900 are susceptible (CVE-2017-18017 and CVE-2017-17449). An exploit of CVE-2017-18017 could allow a remote attacker to cause a denial of service condition. An exploit of CVE-2017-17449 could allow an attacker to obtain sensitive information.
CVEID: CVE-2017-18017 DESCRIPTION: Linux Kernel is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by a use-after-free flaw in the tcpmss_mangle_packet function in net/netfilter/xt_TCPMSS.c. By leveraging the presence of xt_TCPMSS in an iptables action, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause a denial of service condition.
CVSS Base Score: 7.5

CVEID: CVE-2017-17449 DESCRIPTION: Linux Kernel could allow a local attacker to obtain sensitive information, caused by the failure to restrict observations of Netlink messages to a single net namespace when CONFIG_NLMON is enabled in the __netlink_deliver_tap_skb function in net/netlink/af_netlink.c. By leveraging the CAP_NET_ADMIN capability to sniff an nlmon interface for all Netlink activity on the system, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to obtain sensitive information.
