SB2025032041 - Multiple vulnerabilities in IBM Storage Protect Backup-Archive Client

Description

This security bulletin contains information about 12 secuirty vulnerabilities.

1) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-38264)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to application does not properly control consumption of internal resources. A remote attacker can trigger resource exhaustion and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

2) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-6874)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to potentially sensitive information.

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary condition within the curl_url_get() function when parsing IDN URLs. A remote attacker can pass a specially crafted URL to the application, trigger an out-of-bounds read error and read contents of memory on the system.

3) Permissions, Privileges, and Access Controls (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-3933)

The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.

The vulnerability occurs when executing an arraycopy sequence while the Concurrent Scavenge Garbage Collection cycle is active and the source and destination memory regions for arraycopy overlap. A local user can exploit the vulnerability to read and write to addresses beyond the end of the array range.

4) External control of file name or path (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-38546)

The vulnerability allows an attacker to inject arbitrary cookies into request.

The vulnerability exists due to the way cookies are handled by libcurl. If a transfer has cookies enabled when the handle is duplicated, the cookie-enable state is also cloned - but without cloning the actual cookies. If the source handle did not read any cookies from a specific file on disk, the cloned version of the handle would instead store the file name as none (using the four ASCII letters, no quotes).

Subsequent use of the cloned handle that does not explicitly set a source to load cookies from would then inadvertently load cookies from a file named none - if such a file exists and is readable in the current directory of the program using libcurl.

5) XML External Entity injection (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-22354)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to sensitive information.

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied XML input. A remote attacker can pass a specially crafted XML code to the affected application and view contents of arbitrary files on the system or initiate requests to external systems.

Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may allow an attacker to view contents of arbitrary file on the server or perform network scanning of internal and external infrastructure.

6) Double free (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-6197)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error in ASN1 parser within the utf8asn1str() function. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted TLS certificate to the application, trigger double free error and execute arbitrary code on the target system.

The vulnerable code can only be reached when curl is built to use GnuTLS, wolfSSL, Schannel or Secure Transport.

7) Improper input validation (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-21011)

The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to perform service disruption.

The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation within the Hotspot component in Oracle GraalVM Enterprise Edition. A remote non-authenticated attacker can exploit this vulnerability to perform service disruption.

8) Improper input validation (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-21085)

The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to perform service disruption.

The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation within the Concurrency component in Oracle GraalVM Enterprise Edition. A remote non-authenticated attacker can exploit this vulnerability to perform service disruption.

9) Improper input validation (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-21094)

The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to manipulate data.

The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation within the Hotspot component in Oracle GraalVM Enterprise Edition. A remote non-authenticated attacker can exploit this vulnerability to manipulate data.

10) Use of a broken or risky cryptographic algorithm (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-38320)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to decrypt highly sensitive information..

The vulnerability exists due to IBM Storage Protect Client uses weaker than expected cryptographic algorithms. A remote attacker can decrypt highly sensitive information.

11) NULL pointer dereference (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-0727)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to a NULL pointer dereference error when processing fields in the PKCS12 certificate. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted certificate to the server and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

12) Resource management error (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-5678)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to improper management of internal resources within DH_generate_key() and DH_check_pub_key() functions. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted data to the application and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
