IBM Virtualization Engine TS7700 is vulnerable to a denial of service threat (CVE-2022-21626) due to the use of IBM® SDK Java™ Technology Edition, Version 8. The Java SDK is used by the TS7700 to provide the Management Interface, to perform cache management, and to provide Transparent Cloud Tiering. This issue was disclosed as part of the IBM SDK Java Technology Edition update in October 2022. IBM Virtualization Engine TS7700 has addressed the applicable CVE.
CVEID:CVE-2022-21626
**DESCRIPTION:**An unspecified vulnerability in Java SE related to the Security component could allow an unauthenticated attacker to cause a denial of service resulting in a low availability impact using unknown attack vectors.
CVSS Base score: 5.3
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/238689 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L)
All versions of microcode for the IBM Virtualization Engine TS7700 (3957-VEC, 3957-VED, and 3948-VED) prior to and including the following are affected:
Machine Type | Model | Release | Version |
---|---|---|---|
3957 | VEC | R5.0 | 8.50.2.6 |
R5.1 | 8.51.2.12 | ||
R5.2 Phase 1 | 8.52.102.13 | ||
R5.2 Phase 2 | 8.52.200.111 | ||
R5.3 | 8.53.0.63 | ||
VED | R5.0 | 8.50.2.6 | |
R5.1 | 8.51.2.12 | ||
R5.2 Phase 1 | 8.52.102.13 | ||
R5.2 Phase 2 | 8.52.200.111 | ||
R5.3 | 8.53.0.63 | ||
3948 | VED | R5.3 | 8.53.0.63 |
IBM strongly recommends addressing the vulnerability now by visiting <https://tape.ibmrcl.enterpriseappointments.com/v2/> or contacting IBM Service at 1-800-IBM-SERV to arrange an upgrade to the latest microcode version followed by the installation of VTD_EXEC.269 as needed. Minimum microcode versions are shown below:
Machine Type | Model | Release | Fix |
---|---|---|---|
3957 | VEC | R5.0 | Upgrade to 8.51.2.12 + VTD_EXEC.269 |
R5.1 | Upgrade to 8.51.2.12 + VTD_EXEC.269 | ||
R5.2 Phase 1 | Upgrade to 8.52.102.13 + VTD_EXEC.269 | ||
R5.2 Phase 2 | Upgrade to 8.52.200.111 + VTD_EXEC.269 | ||
R5.3 | Upgrade to 8.53.0.63 + VTD_EXEC.269 | ||
VED | R5.0 | Upgrade to 8.51.2.12 + VTD_EXEC.269 | |
R5.1 | Upgrade to 8.51.2.12 + VTD_EXEC.269 | ||
R5.2 Phase 1 | Upgrade to 8.52.102.13 + VTD_EXEC.269 | ||
R5.2 Phase 2 | Upgrade to 8.52.200.111 + VTD_EXEC.269 | ||
R5.3 | Upgrade to 8.53.0.63 + VTD_EXEC.269 | ||
3948 | VED | R5.3 | Upgrade to 8.53.0.63 + VTD_EXEC.269 |
The minimum VTD_EXEC version is shown below:
VTD_EXEC Package | Version |
---|---|
VTD_EXEC.269 | v2.02 |
Note: With v2.00 and subsequent versions, VTD_EXEC.269 may be installed concurrently with online operations except on systems where the Cloud Storage Tier has been enabled with FC 5278, which will still require an outage.
Although IBM recommends that you upgrade to the fixes identified above, you can mitigate, but not eliminate the risk of these vulnerabilities by restricting physical and network access to the TS7700 to authorized users and IBM Service Personnel only.
