Summary
There is a vulnerability in Asset Data Dictionary used by IBM Maximo Asset Management application (CVE-2023-44487, CVE-2022-41881, CVE-2022-41915, CVE-2021-42550, CVE-2023-34462, CVE-2023-6481 and CVE-2023-6378)
Vulnerability Details
CVEID: CVE-2023-44487
DESCRIPTION: Multiple vendors are vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by a flaw in handling multiplexed streams in the HTTP/2 protocol. By sending numerous HTTP/2 requests and RST_STREAM frames over multiple streams, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause a denial of service due to server resource consumption.
CVSS Base score: 7.5
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/268044 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-2022-41881
DESCRIPTION: Netty is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by a StackOverflowError in HAProxyMessageDecoder. By sending a specially-crafted message, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause an infinite recursion, and results in a denial of service condition.
CVSS Base score: 7.5
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/242087 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-2022-41915
DESCRIPTION: Netty is vulnerable to HTTP response splitting attacks, caused by a flaw when calling DefaultHttpHeaders.set with an iterator of values. A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to inject arbitrary HTTP/1.1 response header in some form and cause the server to return a split response, once the URL is clicked. This would allow the attacker to perform further attacks, such as Web cache poisoning or cross-site scripting, and possibly obtain sensitive information.
CVSS Base score: 6.5
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/242595 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:N)
CVEID: CVE-2021-42550
DESCRIPTION: Logback could allow a remote authenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code on the system. By using a specially-crafted configuration, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code loaded from LDAP servers.
CVSS Base score: 6.6
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/215533 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:H/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H)
CVEID: CVE-2023-34462
DESCRIPTION: Netty is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by a flaw with allocating up to 16MB of heap for each channel during the TLS handshake the SniHandler class. By sending a specially crafted client hello packet, a remote authenticated attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause a OutOfMemoryError and so result in a denial of service condition.
CVSS Base score: 6.5
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/258713 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H)
CVEID: CVE-2023-6481
DESCRIPTION: QOS.ch Sarl Logback is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by a serialization flaw in the logback receiver component. By sending a specially crafted data, a local attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause a denial of service condition.
CVSS Base score: 7.1
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/273013 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:N/I:N/A:H)
CVEID: CVE-2023-6378
DESCRIPTION: QOS.ch Sarl Logback is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by a serialization flaw in the receiver component. By sending specially crafted poisoned data, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause a denial of service condition.
CVSS Base score: 5.3
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/272577 for the current score.

Disclaimer
According to the Forum of Incident Response and Security Teams (FIRST), the Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) is an "industry open standard designed to convey vulnerability severity and help to determine urgency and priority of response." IBM PROVIDES THE CVSS SCORES ""AS IS"" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. CUSTOMERS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR ASSESSING THE IMPACT OF ANY ACTUAL OR POTENTIAL SECURITY VULNERABILITY. In addition to other efforts to address potential vulnerabilities, IBM periodically updates the record of components contained in our product offerings. As part of that effort, if IBM identifies previously unidentified packages in a product/service inventory, we address relevant vulnerabilities regardless of CVE date. Inclusion of an older CVEID does not demonstrate that the referenced product has been used by IBM since that date, nor that IBM was aware of a vulnerability as of that date. We are making clients aware of relevant vulnerabilities as we become aware of them. "Affected Products and Versions" referenced in IBM Security Bulletins are intended to be only products and versions that are supported by IBM and have not passed their end-of-support or warranty date. Thus, failure to reference unsupported or extended-support products and versions in this Security Bulletin does not constitute a determination by IBM that they are unaffected by the vulnerability. Reference to one or more unsupported versions in this Security Bulletin shall not create an obligation for IBM to provide fixes for any unsupported or extended-support products or versions.
