Vulnerability Details
CVEID: CVE-2024-29857
DESCRIPTION: The Bouncy Castle Crypto Package For Java is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by improper input validation. By importing an EC certificate with crafted F2m parameters, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause excessive CPU consumption.
CVSS Base score: 7.5
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/290285 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-2024-30171
DESCRIPTION: The Bouncy Castle Crypto Package For Java could allow a remote authenticated attacker to obtain sensitive information, caused by a flaw in the RSA decryption (both PKCS#1v1.5 and OAEP) feature. By utilize timing side-channel attack techniques, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to obtain sensitive information, and use this information to launch further attacks against the affected system.
CVSS Base score: 5.3
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/289411 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N)
CVEID: CVE-2024-30172
DESCRIPTION: The Bouncy Castle Crypto Package For Java is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by an infinite loop in the Ed25519 verification code. By persuading a victim to use a specially crafted signature and public key, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause a denial of service condition.
CVSS Base score: 5.5
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/290103 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H)
CVEID: CVE-2023-35116
DESCRIPTION: Fasterxml jackson-databind is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by a stack-based overflow. By persuading a victim to open a specially crafted content, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause a denial of service.
Note: The vendor disputes the vulnerability because the steps of constructing a cyclic data structure and trying to serialize it cannot be achieved by an external attacker.
CVSS Base score: 5.5
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/258157 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H)
CVEID: CVE-2024-21634
DESCRIPTION: Amazon Ion is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by a stack-based overflow in `ion-java` for applications. 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/279362 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.
