IBM threat watch

IBM WebSphere Application Server 9.0, and 8.5 is affected by an improper validation of user-supplied data during deserialization using the SAML Web Single Sign-On component. This could result in remote code execution via a crafted HTTP request when combined with a suitable gadget chain.

IBM WebSphere Application Server 9.0, and 8.5 is vulnerable to potential remote code execution due to deserialization of untrusted data via JAX-WS endpoints with WS-Security.

IBM WebSphere Application Server 9.0, and 8.5 is vulnerable to remote code execution caused by the bypass of security controls.

IBM WebSphere Application Server 9.0, and 8.5 is vulnerable to identity spoofing.

IBM Aspera High-Speed Transfer Endpoint 3.7.4 through 4.4.7 Fix Pack 1 and IBM Aspera High-Speed Transfer Server 3.7.4 through 4.4.7 Fix Pack 1 and IBM Aspera High-Speed Transfer Endpoint are affected by a potential denial of service in the asperahttpd component. An unauthenticated user can cause the asperahttpd service to crash.

IBM Aspera High-Speed Transfer Endpoint 3.7.4 through 4.4.7 Fix Pack 1 and IBM Aspera High-Speed Transfer Server 3.7.4 through 4.4.7 Fix Pack 1 and IBM Aspera High-Speed Transfer Endpoint are affected by a buffer overflow in the asperahttpd component. This vulnerability could allow an authenticated user to execute arbitrary code on the system.

IBM Aspera High-Speed Transfer Endpoint 3.7.4 through 4.4.7 Fix Pack 1 and IBM Aspera High-Speed Transfer Server 3.7.4 through 4.4.7 Fix Pack 1 and IBM Aspera High-Speed Transfer Endpoint are affected by a buffer overflow in the asperahttpd component. This vulnerability could be exploited to cause a denial of service and potentially lead to authentication bypass or remote code execution.

IBM Aspera HSTS for CP4I 1.5.1 through 1.5.19 is affected by an authentication bypass vulnerability. A transfer client may be able to take advantage of this vulnerability to access files in the server's local storage that they should not have access to, when specific restriction settings are not in place.

IBM Operations Analytics - Log Analysis  and IBM SmartCloud Analytics - Log Analysis uses default passwords default passwords from the manufacturing process for use during the installation process, which could allow an attacker to bypass authentication.

IBM Db2 12.1.0 through 12.1.4 is vulnerable to authorization bypass when uploading to a remote object storage path with a special query.

IBM Db2 11.5.0 through 11.5.9, and 12.1.0 through 12.1.4 is vulnerable to running out of memory when executing certain queries with MDC tables.

IBM Db2 11.5.0 through 11.5.9, and 12.1.0 through 12.1.4 is vulnerable to a denial of service when executing a specially crafted query with a small statement heap.

IBM Controller 11.0.1, 11.1.0, 11.1.1, and 11.1.2 contains hard-coded credentials, such as a password or cryptographic key, which it uses for its own inbound authentication, outbound communication to external components, or encryption of internal data.

IBM WebSphere Application Server - Liberty 19.0.0.7 through 26.0.0.5 and IBM WebSphere Application Server 9.0, and 8.5 and WebSphere Application Server Liberty are vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by sending a specially-crafted request. A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause the server to consume memory resources.

IBM Netezza Performance Server Replication Services 3.0.2.0 through 3.0.5.0 allows an attacker with low‑privileged access to escalate their privileges to root. By exploiting this flaw, the attacker can execute root‑level commands, obtain a root shell, and change the root user’s password. Successful exploitation also enables modification or removal of system‑wide files and the installation of persistent backdoors. This results in full system compromise with complete loss of confidentiality, integrity, and availability.

IBM InfoSphere Optim Test Data Fabrication 1.0.0, 1.0.0.1, 1.0.0.2, 1.0.2, 1.0.2.2, 1.0.2.3, 1.0.2.4, 1.0.2.5, 1.0.2.6, 1.0.2.7 could allow a remote attacker to traverse directories on the system. An attacker could send a specially crafted URL request containing "dot dot" sequences (/../) to view arbitrary files on the system

IBM Db2 11.5.0 through 11.5.9, and 12.1.0 through 12.1.4 is vulnerable to a denial of service with a specially crafted query when autonomous transactions are enabled.

IBM Cognos Analytics 11.2.0, 11.2.4, 12.0, and 12.1.0 and IBM Cognos Transformer 11.2.4, 12.0, and 12.1.0 are vulnerable to cross-site scripting (XSS). This vulnerability allows a remote attacker to inject arbitrary JavaScript code into the web user interface, which may alter the intended functionality and could lead to the disclosure of credentials within a trusted session.

IBM QRadar 7.5.0 through 7.5.0 UP15 Interim Fix 002 could allow a privileged user to upload a malicious backup archive that could be restored and used to gain access to the underlying operating system.

IBM Operations Analytics - Log Analysis 1.3.5.0, 1.3.5.1, 1.3.5.2, 1.3.5.3, 1.3.6.0, 1.3.6.1, 1.3.7.0, 1.3.7.1, 1.3.7.2, and 1.3.8.0, 1.3.8.1, 1.3.8.2, 1.3.8.3, 1.3.8.4 IBM SmartCloud Analytics - Log Analysis does not require that users should have strong passwords by default, which makes it easier for attackers to compromise user accounts.
