SB2024030123 - Multiple vulnerabilities in IBM Maximo Asset Management

Description

This security bulletin contains information about 6 secuirty vulnerabilities.

1) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-44487)

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

The vulnerability exists due to improperly control of consumption for internal resources when handling HTTP/2 requests with compressed HEADERS frames. A remote attacker can send a sequence of compressed HEADERS frames followed by RST_STREAM frames and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack, a.k.a. "Rapid Reset".

Note, the vulnerability is being actively exploited in the wild.

2) Infinite loop (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-41881)

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

The vulnerability exists due to infinite loop within the HaProxyMessageDecoder when parsing a TLV with type of "PP2_TYPE_SSL". A remote attacker can pass a specially crafted message to consume all available system resources and cause denial of service conditions.

3) HTTP response splitting (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-41915)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform HTTP splitting attacks.

The vulnerability exists due to software does not validate header values when calling DefaultHttpHeaders.set with an iterator of values. A remote attacker can inject arbitrary header values and perform HTTP splitting attacks.

Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may allow an attacker perform cache poisoning attack.

4) Code Injection (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-42550)

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

The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation. A remote user can send a specially crafted request to the application and execute arbitrary code on the target system by tricking the application to load a malicious configuration from a remote LDAP server.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.

5) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-6481)

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 in logback receiver component. A remote attacker can send send poisoned data, trigger resource exhaustion and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

6) Deserialization of Untrusted Data (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-6378)

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

The vulnerability exists due to insecure input validation when processing serialized data in logback receiver component. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted data to the application and cause a denial of service condition on the target system.
