Security Bulletin
Summary
Power Hardware Management Console is affected by security vulnerabilities in
the Linux Kernel. Power Hardware Management Console has addressed the
applicable CVE.
Vulnerability Details
CVEID: CVE-2018-14633
DESCRIPTION: A security flaw was found in the chap_server_compute_md5()
function in the ISCSI target code in the Linux kernel in a way an
authentication request from an ISCSI initiator is processed. An unauthenticated
remote attacker can cause a stack buffer overflow and smash up to 17 bytes of
the stack. The attack requires the iSCSI target to be enabled on the victim
host. Depending on how the target's code was built (i.e. depending on a
compiler, compile flags and hardware architecture) an attack may lead to a
system crash and thus to a denial-of-service or possibly to a non-authorized
access to data exported by an iSCSI target. Due to the nature of the flaw,
privilege escalation cannot be fully ruled out, although we believe it is
highly unlikely. Kernel versions 4.18.x, 4.14.x and 3.10.x are believed to be
vulnerable.
