Security Bulletin: Vulnerabilities in Golang Go, OpenSSL, Python, and XStream affect IBM Spectrum Copy Data Management

Vulnerability Details

CVEID:   CVE-2021-44716
DESCRIPTION:   Golang Go is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by an uncontrolled memory consumption in the header canonicalization cache in net/http. By sending HTTP/2 requests, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to consume all available memory resources.
CVSS Base score: 7.5
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/216553 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H)

CVEID:   CVE-2021-44717
DESCRIPTION:   Golang Go could allow a remote attacker to bypass security restrictions, caused by an error in the syscall.ForkExec() interface. By causing the erroneous closing of file descriptor 0 after file-descriptor exhaustion, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to compromise data integrity and/or confidentiality in a somewhat uncontrolled way in programs linked with and using syscall.ForkExec().
CVSS Base score: 4.8
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/216563 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:N)

CVEID:   CVE-2022-0778
DESCRIPTION:   OpenSSL is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by a flaw in the BN_mod_sqrt() function when parsing certificates. By using a specially-crafted certificate with invalid explicit curve parameters, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause an infinite loop, and results in a denial of service condition.
CVSS Base score: 7.5
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/221911 for the current score.

CVEID:   CVE-2022-23772
DESCRIPTION:   Golang Go is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by a buffer overflow in the Rat.SetString function in math/big. By sending a specially-crafted request, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to consume large amount of RAM and cause the application to crash.
CVSS Base score: 7.5
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/219442 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H)

CVEID:   CVE-2022-23773
DESCRIPTION:   An unspecified error with not treating branches with semantic-version names as releases in cmd/go in Golang Go has an unknown impact and attack vector.
CVSS Base score: 5.3
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/219443 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N)

CVEID:   CVE-2022-23806
DESCRIPTION:   Golang Go is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by a flaw with IsOnCurve function returns true for invalid field elements. By sending a specially-crafted request, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to causes a panic in ScalarMult, and results in a denial of condition.
CVSS Base score: 7.5
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/219444 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H)

CVEID:   CVE-2021-3737
DESCRIPTION:   Python is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by improper handling of HTTP response in the HTTP client code. By persuading a victim to visit a specially-crafted web site, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause the client script enter an infinite loop, and results in a denial of service condition.
CVSS Base score: 6.5
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/213407 for the current score.

CVEID:   CVE-2021-43859
DESCRIPTION:   XStream is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by improper input validation. By injecting highly recursive collections or maps, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to allocate 100% CPU time on the system.
CVSS Base score: 7.5
