Summary
IBM MQ Appliance has addressed multiple open source vulnerabilities.
Vulnerability Details
DESCRIPTION: Linux Kernel could allow a local attacker to obtain sensitive information, caused by a use-after-free flaw in the iscsi_sw_tcp_session_create function in drivers/scsi/iscsi_tcp.c in the SCSI sub-component. By sending a specially crafted request, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to obtain kernel internal information, and use this information to launch further attacks against the affected system.
CVSS Base score: 6.2

CVEID: CVE-2023-1079
DESCRIPTION: Linux Kernel is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by a use-after-free flaw flaw in the asus_kbd_backlight_set function. By using a specially-crafted USB device, a physical attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause a denial of service condition.
CVSS Base score: 4.6
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/248808 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:P/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H)
CVEID: CVE-2023-1206
DESCRIPTION: Linux Kernel is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by a flaw in the IPv6 connection lookup table. By sending a specially crafted request, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause the CPU usage to increase, and results in a denial of service condition.
CVSS Base score: 5.3
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/259617 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:A/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H)
CVEID: CVE-2023-4132
DESCRIPTION: Linux Kernel is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by a use-after-free flaw in the siano smsusb module. By sending a specially crafted request, a local authenticated 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/262540 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H)
CVEID: CVE-2023-5388
DESCRIPTION: Red Hat Enterprise Linux could allow a remote authenticated attacker to obtain sensitive information, caused by an observable timing discrepancy in the numerical library used in NSS for RSA cryptography. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to obtain sensitive information and use this information to conduct Bleichenbacher or Manger attacks against the affected system.
CVSS Base score: 6.5
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/279130 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N)
CVEID: CVE-2023-45871
DESCRIPTION: Linux Kernel is vulnerable to a buffer overflow, caused by improper bounds checking by the IGB driver in drivers/net/ethernet/intel/igb/igb_main.c. By sending a specially crafted request, a remote attacker from within the local network could overflow a buffer and execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service.
CVSS Base score: 7.5
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/268717 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:A/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H)
CVEID: CVE-2023-6135
DESCRIPTION: Mozilla Network Security Services (NSS) NIST curves, as used in Mozilla Firefox, could allow a remote attacker to obtain sensitive information, caused by a side-channel attack known as "Minerva". By persuading a victim to visit a specially crafted Web site, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to recover private keys.
CVSS Base score: 6.5
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/275393 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.
