Vulnerability Details
CVEID: CVE-2017-11468
DESCRIPTION: Docker Registry is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by the failure to restrict content sizes. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause memory consumption.
CVSS Base score: 5.3
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/129343 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L)
CVEID: CVE-2021-41190
DESCRIPTION: Open Container Initiative Distribution Specification could allow a remote authenticated attacker to bypass security restrictions, caused by a flaw when a Content-Type header changed between two pulls of the same digest. By sending a specially-crafted request, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause a client to interpret the resulting content differently.
CVSS Base score: 3
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/213802 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:R/S:C/C:N/I:L/A:N)
CVEID: CVE-2023-39318
DESCRIPTION: Golang Go is vulnerable to cross-site scripting, caused by improper validation of user-supplied input by the html/template package. A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability using a specially crafted URL to execute script in a victim's Web browser within the security context of the hosting Web site, once the URL is clicked. An attacker could use this vulnerability to steal the victim's cookie-based authentication credentials.
CVSS Base score: 6.1
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/265941 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N)
CVEID: CVE-2023-39319
DESCRIPTION: Golang Go is vulnerable to cross-site scripting, caused by improper validation of user-supplied input by the html/template package. A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability using a specially crafted URL to execute script in a victim's Web browser within the security context of the hosting Web site, once the URL is clicked. An attacker could use this vulnerability to steal the victim's cookie-based authentication credentials.
CVSS Base score: 6.1
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/265942 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N)
CVEID: CVE-2023-39323
DESCRIPTION: Golang Go could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the system, caused by improper enforcement of line directive restrictions in the "//go:cgo_" directives. By providing specially crafted input in the linker and compiler flags, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code on the system.
Note: The line directive requires the absolute path of the file in which the directive lives, which makes exploiting this issue significantly more complex.
CVSS Base score: 8.1
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/268524 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H)
CVEID: CVE-2023-45142
DESCRIPTION: OpenTelemetry OpenTelemetry-Go Contrib is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by an unbound cardinality metrics flaw in otelhttp. By sending specially crafted HTTP requests, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause a resource consumption, and results in a denial of service condition.
CVSS Base score: 7.5
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/268837 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-2023-45283
DESCRIPTION: Golang Go could allow a remote attacker to traverse directories on the system, caused by the failure to recognize paths with a \??\ prefix as a Root Local Device path prefix in the filepath and safefilepath package. An attacker could send a specially crafted URL request containing "dot dot" sequences (/../) to view arbitrary files on the system.
CVSS Base score: 5.3
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/270990 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N)
CVEID: CVE-2023-45284
DESCRIPTION: Golang Go could provide weaker than expected security, caused by the failure to correctly detect reserved device names in some cases by the IsLocal function in the filepath package. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to report "COM1", and reserved names "COM" and "LPT" followed by superscript 1, 2, or 3 as local.
CVSS Base score: 5.3
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/270989 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-2023-49568
DESCRIPTION: go-git is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by improper input validation. By sending a specially crafted responses from a Git server, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to trigger resource exhaustion in go-git clients, and results in a denial of service conditoin.
CVSS Base score: 7.5
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/279389 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-2023-49569
DESCRIPTION: go-git could allow a remote attacker to traverse directories on the system. By sending a specially crafted request using the ChrootOS https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/go-git/go-billy/v5/osfs#ChrootOS, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to create and amend files across the filesystem and possibly execute arbitrary code on the system.
CVSS Base score: 9.8
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/279932 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.
