CVE-2022-37026
Description
A Client Authentication Bypass was found in Erlang/OTP. This issue occurs in certain client-certification situations for SSL, TLS, and DTLS.
Statement
Some releases of Red Hat OpenStack Platform ship an affected version of the Erlang libraries, however RHOSP is configured to use application-level shared secret authentication during TLS sessions. This makes it unlikely to be exploitable as none of the vulnerable codepaths are exposed and no client certificate is used for authentication. For this reason the impact to Red Hat OpenStack Platform has been downgraded to Moderate.
Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) Score Details
Info alert:Important note
CVSS scores for open source components depend on vendor-specific factors (e.g. version or build chain). Therefore, Red Hat's score and impact rating can be different from NVD and other vendors. Red Hat remains the authoritative CVE Naming Authority (CNA) source for its products and services (see Red Hat classifications).
