Security Bulletin: IBM Observability with Instana (OnPrem) is affected by multiple security vulnerabilities

Summary

Multiple vulnerabilities were remediated in IBM Observability with Instana (OnPrem) build 277

Vulnerability Details

CVEID:CVE-2022-40152
**DESCRIPTION:**XStream is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by a stack-based buffer overflow. By sending a specially-crafted XML data, a remote authenticated attacker could exploit this vulnerability to causes the parser to crash, and results in a denial of service condition.
CVSS Base score: 6.5
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/236355 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/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-2024-29857
**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)
