Security Bulletin: Multiple vulnerabilities in Spring Framework affect SPSS Collaboration and Deployment Services

## Summary

There are multiple vulnerabilities in Spring Framework used by SPSS Collaboration and Deployment Services. SPSS Collaboration and Deployment Services is affected but not classified as vulnerable to these issues. The fix includes Spring 5.3.20.

## Vulnerability Details

** CVEID: **[CVE-2022-22950]()
** DESCRIPTION: **VMware Tanzu Spring Framework is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by improper input validation. By sending a specially-crafted crafted SpEL expression, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause a denial of service condition.
CVSS Base score: 5.4
CVSS Temporal Score: See: [ https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/223096]() for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:L)

** CVEID: **[CVE-2022-22965]()
** DESCRIPTION: **Spring Framework could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the system, caused by the improper handling of PropertyDescriptor objects used with data binding. By sending specially-crafted data to a Spring Java application, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code on the system. Note: The exploit requires Spring Framework to be run on Tomcat as a WAR deployment with JDK 9 or higher using spring-webmvc or spring-webflux. Note: This vulnerability is also known as Spring4Shell or SpringShell.
CVSS Base score: 9.8
CVSS Temporal Score: See: [ https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/223103]() for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H)

** CVEID: **[CVE-2022-22970]()
** DESCRIPTION: **Vmware Tanzu Spring Framework is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by a flaw in the handling of file uploads. By sending a specially-crafted request, a remote authenticated attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause a denial of service condition.
CVSS Base score: 6.5
CVSS Temporal Score: See: [ https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/226491]() for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H)

** CVEID: **[CVE-2022-22968]()
** DESCRIPTION: **Spring Framework could provide weaker than expected security, caused by a data binding rules vulnerability in which the patterns for disallowedFields on a DataBinder are case sensitive. The case sensitivity allows that a field is insufficiently protected unless it is listed with both upper and lower case for the first character of the field. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to launch further attacks on the system.
CVSS Base score: 3.7
CVSS Temporal Score: See: [ https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/224374]() for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N)

** CVEID: **[CVE-2022-22971]()
** DESCRIPTION: **Vmware Tanzu Spring Framework is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by a flaw with a STOMP over WebSocket endpoint. By sending a specially-crafted request, a remote authenticated attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause a denial of service condition.
CVSS Base score: 6.5
CVSS Temporal Score: See: [ https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/226492]() for the current score.

## Disclaimer

According to the Forum of Incident Response and Security Teams (FIRST), the Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) is an “industry open standard designed to convey vulnerability severity and help to determine urgency and priority of response.” IBM PROVIDES THE CVSS SCORES “”AS IS”” WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. CUSTOMERS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR ASSESSING THE IMPACT OF ANY ACTUAL OR POTENTIAL SECURITY VULNERABILITY. In addition to other efforts to address potential vulnerabilities, IBM periodically updates the record of components contained in our product offerings. As part of that effort, if IBM identifies previously unidentified packages in a product/service inventory, we address relevant vulnerabilities regardless of CVE date. Inclusion of an older CVEID does not demonstrate that the referenced product has been used by IBM since that date, nor that IBM was aware of a vulnerability as of that date. We are making clients aware of relevant vulnerabilities as we become aware of them.
