IBM DataPower Gateway 10.5.0.0 through 10.5.0.22, 10.6.1 through 10.6.6, 10.6.0.0 through 10.6.0.10, and 11.0.0.0 through 11.0.0.2 could allow a remote attacker to obtain sensitive information and cause a denial of service due to an out-of-bounds write.
AnalysisAI
Out-of-bounds write in IBM DataPower Gateway lets unauthenticated remote attackers corrupt process memory, resulting in disclosure of sensitive information and denial of service. Affected releases are 10.5.0.0 through 10.5.0.22, 10.6.0.0 through 10.6.0.10, 10.6.1 through 10.6.6, and 11.0.0.0 through 11.0.0.2, with a CVSS 3.1 base score of 8.6 driven by high availability impact alongside limited confidentiality and integrity impact. …
