DescriptionCVE.org

IBM DataPower Gateway could allow a remote attacker to cause a denial of service due to improper resource limitations.

AnalysisAI

Denial of service in IBM DataPower Gateway (versions 10.5.0, 10.6.0, 10.6cd, and 11.0.0) allows a remote unauthenticated attacker to exhaust system resources due to improper resource limitations (CWE-770), rendering the gateway unavailable. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 7.5 with an availability-only impact (A:H) and no confidentiality or integrity effect. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Per the CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N), no special conditions are required beyond network access to an affected IBM DataPower Gateway listener - remote, unauthenticated, low-complexity triggering against reachable instances. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N) describes an easily reachable, unauthenticated, low-complexity network attack, which supports treating this as a genuine availability concern for internet- or partner-facing gateways. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario A remote attacker with network reach to an exposed DataPower listener sends a stream of specially crafted or high-volume requests that each cause the gateway to allocate resources without an enforced limit. As allocations accumulate faster than they are freed, the appliance exhausts memory or connection capacity and stops servicing legitimate API traffic. …
Remediation Patch available per vendor advisory: apply the fix referenced in IBM's bulletin at https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/node/7278746 for your specific release train (10.5.0, 10.6.0, 10.6cd, or 11.0.0); the exact fixed build number is not stated in the available data and should be taken from that advisory. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Immediately inventory all IBM DataPower Gateway deployments to identify instances running versions 10.5.0, 10.6.0, 10.6cd, or 11.0.0 and assess their business criticality (within 24 hours). …
