CVE-2022-22354 — Ibm Spectrum Copy Data Management security vulnerability

High CVSS 7.5

IBM Spectrum Protect Plus 10.1.0.0 through 10.1.9.2 and IBM Spectrum Copy Data Management 2.2.0.0 through 2.2.14.3 do not limit the length of a connection which could allow for a Slowloris HTTP denial of service attack to take place. This can cause the Admin Console to become unresponsive. IBM X-Force ID: 220485.

Matched remediation archetype

Resource exhaustion and denial of service

This catalog composition supplies bounded fallback guidance. Explicitly reviewed curated workflows load with the complete record below.

Check exposure

  • Identify attacker-influenced work factors including input size, nesting, compression, fan-out, regex cost, allocation, recursion, retries, and connection lifetime.
  • Map per-request and shared CPU, memory, disk, descriptor, thread, queue, and downstream-service limits.
  • Determine whether authentication, tenancy, quotas, and rate controls apply before expensive processing begins.

Remediate safely

  • Bound input size, nesting, expansion, work, concurrency, queue depth, retries, and execution time before resource-intensive processing.
  • Release resources on every success, error, cancellation, and timeout path and use backpressure instead of unbounded buffering.
  • Update affected components and add small deterministic tests that assert resource ceilings rather than exhausting a host.
