AIX 4.3.3 through AIX 5.1, when direct remote login is disabled, displays a different message if the password is correct, which allows remote attackers to guess the password via brute force methods.

Unspecified vulnerability in the IBM Asynchronous I/O (aka AIO or libibmaio) library in the Java Message Service (JMS) component in IBM WebSphere Application Server (WAS) 6.1.x before 6.1.0.17 on AIX 5.3 allows attackers to cause a denial of service (daemon crash) via vectors related to the aio_getioev2 and getEvent methods.

Delete or create a file via rpc.statd, due to invalid information.

RIP v1 is susceptible to spoofing.

Denial of service in AIX telnet can freeze a system and prevent users from accessing the server.

An attacker can write to syslog files from any location, causing a denial of service by filling up the logs, and hiding activities.

Jolt ICMP attack causes a denial of service in Windows 95 and Windows NT systems.

The getipnodebyname() API in AIX 5.1 and 5.2 does not properly close sockets, which allows attackers to cause a denial of service (resource exhaustion).

inetd in AIX 4.1.5 dynamically assigns a port N when starting ttdbserver (ToolTalk server), but also inadvertently listens on port N-1 without passing control to ttdbserver, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service via a large number of connections to port N-1, which are not properly closed by inetd.

IBM AIX 430 does not properly unlock IPPMTU_LOCK, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (hang) via Path Maximum Transmit Unit (PMTU) IP packets.

Unspecified vulnerability in Hitachi OSAS/FT/W before 20070223 allows attackers to cause a denial of service (responder control processing halt) by sending "data unexpectedly through the port".

Unknown vulnerability in the WebSecure (DFSWeb) configuration utilities in AIX 4.x, possibly related to relative pathnames.

Unknown vulnerability in DCE (1) SMIT panels and (2) configuration commands, possibly related to relative pathnames.

IBM Tivoli Directory Server (TDS) 5.2 before 5.2.0.5-TIV-ITDS-LA0007 on AIX allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (server destabilization) via an anonymous DIGEST-MD5 LDAP Bind operation.

Vulnerability in AIX 3.2.x and 4.x allows local users to gain write access to files on locally or remotely mounted AIX filesystems.

IBM CICS TX denial of service

IBM Sterling Secure Proxy 6.0.1, 6.0.2, 2.4.3.2, and 3.4.3.2 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 X-Force ID: 201160.

IBM AIX 7.1, 7.2, and VIOS 3.1 could allow a local user that is in the with elevated group privileges to cause a denial of service due to a vulnerability in the lpd daemon. IBM X-Force ID: 200255.

at in bos.rte.cron on IBM AIX 5.2.0, 5.3.0 through 5.3.9, and 6.1.0 through 6.1.2 allows local users to read arbitrary files via unspecified vectors, related to failure to drop root privileges.

The socketpair function in IBM AIX 5.3, 6.1, and 7.1 and VIOS 2.2.1.4-FP-25 SP-02 allows local users to cause a denial of service (system crash) via a crafted application that leverages the presence of a socket on the free list.

Unspecified vulnerability in the (1) unix_mp and (2) unix_64 kernels in IBM AIX 5.3 VRMF 5.3.0.30 through 5.3.0.33 allows local users to cause a denial of service (system crash) via unknown vectors related to EMULATE_VMX.

The kernel in IBM AIX 5.3, 6.1, and 7.1, and VIOS 2.2.1.4-FP-25 SP-02, does not properly implement the dupmsg system call, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (system crash) via a crafted application.

IBM App Connect Enterprise information disclosure

The ps program in bos.rte.control in IBM AIX 5.2, 5.3, and 6.1 allows local users to obtain sensitive information via unspecified vectors.

The kernel in IBM AIX 5.2 and 5.3 does not properly handle resizing JFS2 filesystems on concurrent volume groups spread across multiple nodes, which allows local users of one node to cause a denial of service (remote node crash) by using chfs or lreducelv to reduce a filesystem's size.

IBM AIX 6.1 and 7.1 does not restrict the wpar_limits_config and wpar_limits_modify system calls, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (system crash) via a crafted call.

The WPAR system call implementation in the kernel in IBM AIX 6.1 allows local users to cause a denial of service via unknown calls that trigger "undefined behavior."

The FC SCSI protocol driver in IBM AIX 6.1 does not verify that a timer is unused before deallocating this timer, which might allow attackers to cause a denial of service (system crash) via unspecified vectors.

The proc filesystem in the kernel in IBM AIX 5.2 and 5.3 does not properly enforce directory permissions when a file executing from a directory has weaker permissions than the directory itself, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information.

The perfstat kernel extension in bos.perf.perfstat in AIX 5.3 does not verify privileges when processing a SET call, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (system hang or crash) via unspecified SET operations.
