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 vulnerable to buffer overflow.
AnalysisAI
A remotely reachable, unauthenticated out-of-bounds write (buffer overflow, CWE-787) in IBM DataPower Gateway can corrupt memory and potentially allow an attacker to fully compromise the affected appliance, as reflected in the assessed CVSS 3.1 score of 9.8 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H). Affected firmware spans 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 the flaw reachable in the normal network-processing path since no authentication, user interaction, or special configuration is required. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | The description does not name a specific feature toggle or non-default mode, implying the flaw is reachable in the normal network-processing path of the gateway on affected firmware (10.5.0.0-10.5.0.22, 10.6.0.0-10.6.0.10, 10.6.1-10.6.6, 11.0.0.0-11.0.0.2). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | This is a genuine high-priority vulnerability, not merely a high-CVSS paper risk. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in. |
| Remediation | IBM has a patch available per its vendor advisory at https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/node/7289775; the supplied data does not enumerate exact fixed build numbers, so administrators should retrieve the specific remediated firmware levels from that advisory and upgrade every DataPower Gateway instance on the affected trains (10.5.0.x, 10.6.0.x, 10.6.x CD, 11.0.0.x) as the primary fix, since no partial mitigation removes the underlying memory-safety defect. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
Recommended ActionAI
Within 24 hours, inventory all IBM DataPower Gateway instances and immediately apply the vendor fix from IBM's support advisory to any internet-facing appliances running affected firmware versions 10.5.0.0-10.5.0.22, 10.6.0.0-10.6.0.10, 10.6.1-10.6.6, or 11.0.0.0-11.0.0.2; if patching cannot be done immediately, restrict network access to these management and data interfaces. …
