IBM AIX 5.3, 6.1, 7.1, and 7.2 contains an unspecified vulnerability that would allow a locally authenticated user to obtain root level privileges. IBM APARs: IV88658, IV87981, IV88419, IV87640, IV88053.
IBM AIX 6.1, 7.1, and 7.2 could allow a local user to gain root privileges using a specially crafted command within the bellmail client. IBM APARs: IV91006, IV91007, IV91008, IV91010, IV91011.
lquerylv in cmdlvm in IBM AIX 5.3, 6.1, and 7.1 and VIOS 2.2.x allows local users to gain privileges via a crafted DBGCMD_LQUERYLV environment-variable value.
The runtime linker in IBM AIX 6.1 and 7.1 and VIOS 2.2.x allows local users to create a mode-666 root-owned file, and consequently gain privileges, by setting crafted MALLOCOPTIONS and MALLOCBUCKETS environment-variable values and then executing a setuid program.
The default configuration of sendmail in IBM AIX 6.1 and 7.1, and VIOS 2.2.1.4-FP-25 SP-02, allows local users to gain privileges by entering a command in a .forward file in a home directory.
The IPv6 implementation in the inet subsystem in IBM AIX 6.1 and 7.1, and VIOS 2.2.2.2-FP-26 SP-02, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (system hang) via a crafted packet to an IPv6 interface.
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.
The FTP client in IBM AIX 6.1 and 7.1, and VIOS 2.2.1.4-FP-25 SP-02, does not properly manage privileges in an RBAC environment, which allows attackers to bypass intended file-read restrictions by leveraging the setuid installation of the ftp executable file.
The NFSv4 client implementation in IBM AIX 5.3, 6.1, and 7.1, and VIOS before 2.2.1.4-FP-25 SP-02, does not properly handle GID values, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service via unspecified vectors.
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.
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.
The ptrace system call in IBM AIX 5.3, 6.1, and 7.1, and VIOS 2.2.x, allows local users to cause a denial of service (system crash) or obtain sensitive information from kernel memory via a crafted PT_LDINFO operation.
The SSL protocol 3.0, as used in OpenSSL through 1.0.1i and other products, uses nondeterministic CBC padding, which makes it easier for man-in-the-middle attackers to obtain cleartext data via a padding-oracle attack, aka the "POODLE" issue.
The mustendd driver in IBM AIX 5.3, 6.1, 7.1, and 7.2 and VIOS 2.2.x, when the jumbo_frames feature is not enabled, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (FC1763 or FC5899 adapter crash) via crafted packets.
IBM AIX 5.3, 6.1, 7.1, and 7.2 and VIOS 2.2.x do not default to the latest TLS version, which makes it easier for man-in-the-middle attackers to obtain sensitive information via unspecified vectors.
fuser in IBM AIX 6.1 and 7.1, and VIOS 2.2.1.4-FP-25 SP-02, does not properly restrict the -k option, which allows local users to kill arbitrary processes via a crafted command line.
