IBM threat watch

IBM i 7.6, 7.5, 7.4, 7.3, and 7.2 s vulnerable to privilege escalation caused by an invalid IBM i Web Administration GUI authorization check.  A malicious actor could cause user-controlled code to run with administrator privilege.

IBM Verify Identity Access Container 11.0 through 11.0.2 and IBM Security Verify Access Container 10.0 through 10.0.9.1 and IBM Verify Identity Access 11.0 through 11.0.2 and IBM Security Verify Access 10.0 through 10.0.9.1 could allow a locally authenticated user to escalate their privileges to root due to execution with unnecessary privileges than required.

IBM Verify Identity Access Container 11.0 through 11.0.2 and IBM Security Verify Access Container 10.0 through 10.0.9.1 and IBM Verify Identity Access 11.0 through 11.0.2 and IBM Security Verify Access 10.0 through 10.0.9.1 allows an attacker to contact internal authentication endpoints which are protected by the Reverse Proxy.

IBM Verify Identity Access Container 11.0 through 11.0.2 and IBM Security Verify Access Container 10.0 through 10.0.9.1 and IBM Verify Identity Access 11.0 through 11.0.2 and IBM Security Verify Access 10.0 through 10.0.9.1 could allow a locally authenticated user to execute malicious scripts from outside of its control sphere.

IBM Verify Identity Access Container 11.0 through 11.0.2 and IBM Security Verify Access Container 10.0 through 10.0.9.1 and IBM Verify Identity Access 11.0 through 11.0.2 and IBM Security Verify Access 10.0 through 10.0.9.1 under certain load conditions could allow an attacker to bypass authentication mechanisms and gain unauthorized access to the application.

IBM Verify Identity Access Container 11.0 through 11.0.2 and IBM Security Verify Access Container 10.0 through 10.0.9.1 and IBM Verify Identity Access 11.0 through 11.0.2 and IBM Security Verify Access 10.0 through 10.0.9.1 could allow an unauthenticated user to execute arbitrary commands as lower user privileges on the system due to improper validation of user supplied input.

IBM Aspera Faspex could allow a remote attacker to execute code on the system, caused by a YAML deserialization flaw. Known ransomware use: Known.

Certain APIs within BigInsights can take invalid input that might allow attackers unauthorized access to read, write, modify, or delete data. Known ransomware use: Known.

IBM Data Risk Manager contains a security bypass vulnerability that could allow a remote attacker to bypass security restrictions when configured with SAML authentication. By sending a specially crafted HTTP request, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to bypass the authentication process and gain full administrative access to the system.

IBM Planning Analytics is vulnerable to a configuration overwrite that allows an unauthenticated user to login as "admin", and then execute code as root or SYSTEM via TM1 scripting.

IBM Data Risk Manager contains an unspecified vulnerability which could allow a remote, authenticated attacker to execute commands on the system.�

IBM Data Risk Manager contains a directory traversal vulnerability that could allow a remote authenticated attacker to traverse directories and send a specially crafted URL request to download arbitrary files from the system.

Serialized-object interfaces in certain IBM analytics, business solutions, cognitive, IT infrastructure, and mobile and social products allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via a crafted serialized Java object, related to the InvokerTransformer class in the Apache Commons Collections library.

IBM Rational Build Forge 7.0.2 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption) via a port scan, which spawns multiple bfagent server processes that attempt to read data from closed sockets.

IBM Lotus Notes before 6.5.6, and 7.x before 7.0.3; and Domino before 6.5.5 FP3, and 7.x before 7.0.2 FP1; uses weak permissions (Everyone:Full Control) for memory mapped files (shared memory) in IPC, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information, or inject Lotus Script or other character sequences into a session.

The TFTP implementation in IBM Tivoli Provisioning Manager for OS Deployment 5.1 before Fix Pack 3 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (rembo.exe crash and multiple service outage) via a read (RRQ) request with an invalid blksize (blocksize), which triggers a divide-by-zero error.

Shared memory sections and events in IBM DB2 8.1 have default permissions of read and write for the Everyone group, which allows local users to gain unauthorized access, gain sensitive information, such as cleartext passwords, and cause a denial of service.

cci_dir in IBM U2 UniVerse 10.0.0.9 and earlier creates hard links and unlinks files as root, which allows local users to gain privileges by deleting and overwriting arbitrary files.

IBM WebSphere server 3.0.2 allows a remote attacker to view source code of a JSP program by requesting a URL which provides the JSP extension in upper case.
