Summary
IBM DataPower Gateway versions 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 are affected. Improper bounds checking allows a heap-based buffer overflow (CWE-122). An unauthenticated remote attacker can overflow the buffer and execute arbitrary code on the system.
