The IBM SDK, Java Technology Edition's Object Request Broker (ORB) 7.1.0.0 through 7.1.5.21 and 8.0.0.0 through 8.0.8.21 is vulnerable to a denial of service attack in some circumstances due to improper enforcement of the JEP 290 MaxRef and MaxDepth deserialization filters. IBM X-Force ID: 260578.

The version of IBM WebSphere eXtreme Scale installed on the remote host is prior to 8.6.1.6. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the 7166876 advisory.

  - In Eclipse OpenJ9 release versions prior to 0.44.0 and after 0.13.0, when running with JVM option
    -Xgc:concurrentScavenge, the sequence generated for System.arrayCopy on the IBM Z platform with hardware     and software support for guarded storage [1], could allow access to a buffer with an incorrect length     value when executing an arraycopy sequence while the Concurrent Scavenge Garbage Collection cycle is     active and the source and destination memory regions for arraycopy overlap. This allows read and write to     addresses beyond the end of the array range. (CVE-2024-3933)

  - Vulnerability in the Oracle Java SE, Oracle GraalVM for JDK, Oracle GraalVM Enterprise Edition product of     Oracle Java SE (component: Hotspot). Supported versions that are affected are Oracle Java SE: 8u401,     8u401-perf, 11.0.22, 17.0.10, 21.0.2, 22; Oracle GraalVM for JDK: 17.0.10, 21.0.2, 22; Oracle GraalVM     Enterprise Edition: 20.3.13 and 21.3.9. Difficult to exploit vulnerability allows unauthenticated attacker     with network access via multiple protocols to compromise Oracle Java SE, Oracle GraalVM for JDK, Oracle     GraalVM Enterprise Edition. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized update,     insert or delete access to some of Oracle Java SE, Oracle GraalVM for JDK, Oracle GraalVM Enterprise     Edition accessible data. Note: This vulnerability can be exploited by using APIs in the specified     Component, e.g., through a web service which supplies data to the APIs. This vulnerability also applies to     Java deployments, typically in clients running sandboxed Java Web Start applications or sandboxed Java     applets, that load and run untrusted code (e.g., code that comes from the internet) and rely on the Java     sandbox for security. (CVE-2024-21094)

  - Vulnerability in the Oracle Java SE, Oracle GraalVM Enterprise Edition product of Oracle Java SE     (component: Concurrency). Supported versions that are affected are Oracle Java SE: 8u401, 8u401-perf,     11.0.22; Oracle GraalVM Enterprise Edition: 20.3.13 and 21.3.9. Difficult to exploit vulnerability allows     unauthenticated attacker with network access via multiple protocols to compromise Oracle Java SE, Oracle     GraalVM Enterprise Edition. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized ability to     cause a partial denial of service (partial DOS) of Oracle Java SE, Oracle GraalVM Enterprise Edition.
    Note: This vulnerability can be exploited by using APIs in the specified Component, e.g., through a web     service which supplies data to the APIs. This vulnerability also applies to Java deployments, typically in     clients running sandboxed Java Web Start applications or sandboxed Java applets, that load and run     untrusted code (e.g., code that comes from the internet) and rely on the Java sandbox for security.
