## Summary
IBM CICS TX Standard is vulnerable to multiple vulnerabilities in Golang Go and Kubernetes. The fix removes these vulnerabilities from IBM CICS TX Standard.
## Vulnerability Details
** CVEID: **[CVE-2018-17847]()
** DESCRIPTION: **Golang Go is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by an index out of range flaw during an html.Parse call in the html package. By sending a specially-crafted request, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause a denial of service condition.
CVSS Base score: 7.5
CVSS Temporal Score: See: [ https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/150632]() for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H)
** CVEID: **[CVE-2020-8559]()
** DESCRIPTION: **Kubernetes kube-apiserver could allow a remote authenticated attacker to gain elevated privileges on the system, caused by a flaw when multiple clusters share the same certificate authority trusted by the client. By intercepting certain requests and sending a redirect response, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to compromise other nodes.
CVSS Base score: 6.4
