APAR status

  • Closed as program error.

Error description

  • The change addresses the following alerts so that they are no
    longer falsely flagging DataPower firmware:
    
    CVE-2021-27219, CVE-2020-25648, CVE-2020-25692, CVE-2018-11798
    CVE-2021-23343, CVE-2021-32804, CVE-2021-32803,
    CVE-2021-22940
    
    While the firmware was not vulnerable to these exploits some
    security tools would flag the firmware as being vulnerable so
    this change would make sure to prevent that misconception.
