Security Bulletin: IBM App Connect Enterprise Certified Container DesignerAuthoring operands that use mapping assistance are vulnerable to arbitrary code execution [CVE-2022-48622] [CVE-2023-23931] [CVE-2024-35195] [CVE-2024-39689]

Security Bulletin


Summary

The IBM App Connect Enterprise Certified Container image that provides the mapping assistance capability to the DesignerAuthoring operand includes several Python based Red Hat packages that contain vulnerabilites. IBM App Connect Enterprise Certified Container DesignerAuthoring operands that use mapping assistance are vulnerable to arbitrary code execution. This bulletin provides patch information to address the reported vulnerabilities in the Red Hat packages. [CVE-2022-48622] [CVE-2023-23931] [CVE-2024-35195] [CVE-2024-39689]

Vulnerability Details

CVEID:   CVE-2022-48622
DESCRIPTION:   GNOME GdkPixbuf could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the system, caused by a heap memory corruption in the ani_load_chunk function in io-ani.c. By persuading a victim to open a specially crafted .ani file, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service condition on the system.
CVSS Base score: 7.8
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/281182 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H)

CVEID:   CVE-2023-23931
DESCRIPTION:   PyPI cryptography package could allow a remote attacker to bypass security restrictions, caused by a memory corruption in Cipher.update_into. By passing an immutable python object as the outbuf, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to bypass authentication and obtain access.
CVSS Base score: 4.8
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/246738 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:L)

CVEID:   CVE-2024-35195
DESCRIPTION:   Psf Requests could allow a local authenticated attacker to bypass security restrictions, caused by an incorrect control flow implementation vulnerability. If the first request in a session is made with verify=False, all subsequent requests to the same host will continue to ignore cert verification. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to launch further attacks on the system.
CVSS Base score: 10
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/291111 for the current score.
CVSS Vector:

CVEID:   CVE-2024-39689
DESCRIPTION:   Certifi python-certifi could provide weaker than expected security, caused by the use of GLOBALTRUST root certificate. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to launch further attacks on the system.
CVSS Base score: 10
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/297375 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.
