Third-party CVE

SolarWinds would like to thank our Security Researchers below for reporting on the issue in a responsible manner and working with our security, product, and engineering teams to fix the vulnerability.

CVE-ID	Vulnerability Title	Description	Severity
CVE-2022-2097	AES OCB fails to encrypt some bytes	AES OCB mode for 32-bit x86 platforms using the AES-NI assembly optimized implementation will not encrypt the entirety of the data under some circumstances. This could reveal sixteen bytes of data that was pre-existing in the memory that wasn't written. In the special case of "in place" encryption, sixteen bytes of the plaintext would be revealed. Since OpenSSL does not support OCB-based cipher suites for TLS and DTLS, they are both unaffected. Fixed in OpenSSL 3.0.5 (affected 3.0.0-3.0.4). Fixed in OpenSSL 1.1.1q (affected 1.1.1-1.1.1p).	N/A

Before you upgrade (for SRM Profiler/STM users only)

The SRM Profiler (also known as STM) reached EOL on January 1, 2022, and therefore integration between SRM and SRM Profiler is no longer supported. If you still have SRM Profiler integrated with SRM, you will need to disable integration before updating. Because the SRM license is held on the SRM Profiler, you will then need to deactivate the license and apply it to SRM.

If you try to upgrade while SRM Profiler integration is still active, the installation is halted, and a warning message is displayed.

Step 1 - Disable SRM Profiler

1. Navigate to Settings > All Settings > SRM Settings > Manage SRM Profiler Module Integration.

2. Click Disable Integration.

Step 2 - Deactivate the License from the SRM Profiler

1. Access the STM console (http://<ip address>:9000) using administration login credentials.

2. Go to Settings > License Manager, then click Deactivate.

   You will receive a pop-up window that the license has been deactivated.

Step 3 - Apply the License to SRM

1. Navigate to Settings > All Settings.

2. In the Details section, click License Manager.

3. Find SRM in the list of products and click Activate.

4. Enter the license details for SRM from your customer portal.

Step 4 - Uninstall the SRM Profiler
