IBM InfoSphere Information Server 11.3, 11.5, and 11.7 is vulnerable to a XML External Entity Injection (XXE) attack when processing XML data. A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to expose sensitive information or consume memory resources. IBM X-Force ID: 150905.

The Spectrum Scale 4.2.0.0 through 4.2.3.21 and 5.0.0.0 through 5.0.4.3 file system component is affected by a denial of service vulnerability in its kernel module that could allow an attacker to cause a denial of service condition on the affected system. To exploit this vulnerability, a local attacker could invoke a subset of ioctls on the Spectrum Scale device with non-valid arguments. This could allow the attacker to crash the kernel. IBM X-Force ID: 179986.

IBM AIX 7.1 could allow a non-privileged local user to exploit a vulnerability in the trace facility to expose sensitive information or cause a denial of service. IBM X-Force ID: 200663.

IBM InfoSphere Information Server is vulnerable due to plaintext storage of a password

Vulnerabilities in IBM AIX and PowerVM VIOS

Stack-based buffer overflow in capture in IBM AIX 5.3 SP6 and 5.2.0 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a large number of terminal control sequences.

pioout in IBM AIX 5.3 SP6 allows local users to execute arbitrary code by specifying a malicious library with the -R (ParseRoutine) command line argument.

libodm.a in IBM AIX 5.3, 6.1, and 7.1 allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on a temporary file.

libodm.a in IBM AIX 6.1 and 7.1, and VIOS 2.2.x, allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on a temporary file. NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2012-2179.

Buffer overflow in the ftp client in IBM AIX 5.3 SP6 and 5.2.0 allows local users to execute arbitrary code via unspecified vectors that trigger the overflow in a gets function call. NOTE: the client is setuid root on AIX, so this issue crosses privilege boundaries.

The malloc subsystem in libc in IBM AIX 5.3 and 6.1 allows local users to create or overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on the log file associated with the MALLOCDEBUG environment variable.

The Inventory Scout daemon (invscoutd) 1.3.0.0 and 2.0.2 for AIX 4.3.3 and 5.1 allows local users to gain privileges via a symlink attack on a command line argument (log file). NOTE: this might be related to CVE-2006-5002.

Untrusted search path vulnerability in man in IBM AIX 6.1.0 allows local users to execute arbitrary code via a malicious program in the man directory.

Multiple buffer overflows in (1) mkque and (2) mkquedev in bos.rte.printers in IBM AIX 6.1 and 7.1 allow local users to gain privileges by leveraging printq group membership.
