Security Bulletin


Summary

aiohttp, cryptography and Gunicorn are used by IBM Storage Fusion as part of the Backup and Restore service and may be vulnerable to the CVEs listed below. CVE-2024-1135, CVE-2024-26130, CVE-2024-23829, CVE-2024-2334, CVE-2023-49081, CVE-2023-49082.

Vulnerability Details

CVEID:   CVE-2024-1135
DESCRIPTION:   Gunicorn is vulnerable to HTTP request smuggling, caused by improper parsing of the HTTP transfer-encoding headers. By sending a specially crafted HTTP(S) transfer-encoding header, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to poison the web cache, bypass web application firewall protection, and conduct XSS attacks.
CVSS Base score: 7.5
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/287833 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:N)

CVEID:   CVE-2024-26130
DESCRIPTION:   cryptography is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by a NULL pointer dereference in the pkcs12.serialize_key_and_certificates process. By sending a specially crafted request, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause a denial of service.
CVSS Base score: 7.5
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/283820 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-2024-23829
DESCRIPTION:   aio-libs aiohttp is vulnerable to HTTP request smuggling, caused by improper parsing of the HTTP header. By sending a specially crafted HTTP(S) header, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to poison the web cache, bypass web application firewall protection, and conduct XSS attacks.
CVSS Base score: 6.5
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/281080 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:L)

CVEID:   CVE-2024-23334
DESCRIPTION:   aio-libs aiohttp could allow a remote attacker to traverse directories on the system, caused by improper validation of user request. An attacker could send a specially crafted URL request containing "dot dot" sequences (/../) to view arbitrary files on the system.
CVSS Base score: 5.9
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/281079 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N)

CVEID:   CVE-2023-49081
DESCRIPTION:   aio-libs aiohttp is vulnerable to CRLF injection, caused by improper input validation. By sending a specially crafted HTTP version request, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to conduct various attacks against the vulnerable system, including cross-site scripting, cache poisoning, session hijacking, HTTP response splitting or HTTP header injection.
CVSS Base score: 5.4
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/272649 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:N)

CVEID:   CVE-2023-49082
DESCRIPTION:   aio-libs aiohttp is vulnerable to CRLF injection, caused by improper input validation.

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.
