Security Bulletin
Summary
IBM Storage Copy Data Management can be affected by vulnerabilities in OpenSSL and Linux Kernel. An attacker could exploit these vulnerabilities to obtain kernel internal information, gain elevated privileges, and cause a denial of service conditions, as described by the CVEs in the "Vulnerability Details" section.
Vulnerability Details
CVEID: CVE-2023-3817
DESCRIPTION: OpenSSL is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by a flaw when using the DH_check(), DH_check_ex() or EVP_PKEY_param_check() functions to check a DH key or DH parameters. By sending a specially crafted request, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause long delays, and results in a denial of service condition.
CVSS Base score: 3.7
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/262046 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L)
CVEID: CVE-2023-3446
DESCRIPTION: OpenSSL is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by a flaw when using the DH_check(), DH_check_ex() or EVP_PKEY_param_check() functions to check a DH key or DH parameters. By sending a specially crafted request using long DH keys or parameters, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause long delays, and results in a denial of service condition.
CVSS Base score: 3.7
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/261026 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L)
CVEID: CVE-2023-4622
DESCRIPTION: Linux Kernel could allow a local authenticated attacker to gain elevated privileges on the system, caused by a use-after-free flaw in the af_unix component. By sending a specially crafted request, an authenticated attacker could exploit this vulnerability to gain elevated privileges.
CVSS Base score: 7.8
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/265425 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H)
CVEID: CVE-2023-2162
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
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/253490 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N)
CVEID: CVE-2023-5678
DESCRIPTION: Openssl is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by a flaw when using DH_generate_key() function to generate an X9.42 DH key. By sending a specially crafted request, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause a denial of service condition.
CVSS Base score: 3.7
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/270771 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L)
CVEID: CVE-2023-5633
DESCRIPTION: Linux Kernel could allow a local authenticated attacker to gain elevated privileges on the system, caused by a use-after-free flaw in the way memory objects were handled. By sending a specially crafted request, an authenticated attacker could exploit this vulnerability to gain elevated privileges.
CVSS Base score: 7.8
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/269432 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H)
CVEID: CVE-2023-42753
DESCRIPTION: Linux Kernel could allow a local authenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code on the system, caused by an integer underflow due to an array indexing issue in the netfilter ipset subsystem. By sending a specially crafted request, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service condition.
CVSS Base score: 7.8
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/266809 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.
