AI Powered Q&A
Can you explain this vulnerability to me?
This vulnerability in IBM InfoSphere Information Server versions 11.7.0.0 through 11.7.1.6 allows a non-root user to gain elevated privileges within the scope of a container. It occurs because the software executes with unnecessary privileges, enabling privilege escalation classified under CWE-250 (Execution with Unnecessary Privileges). [1]
How can this vulnerability impact me? :
The vulnerability can allow an attacker with low privileges to escalate their privileges locally within a container, potentially leading to a complete compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the affected system. This means sensitive data could be exposed or altered, and system operations could be disrupted. [1]
What immediate steps should I take to mitigate this vulnerability?
To mitigate this vulnerability, you should apply the fixes provided in IBM InfoSphere Information Server versions 11.7.1.0 and 11.7.1.6, as well as apply the IBM Information Server Microservices tier security patch referenced by APAR DT435105. No workarounds or other mitigations are available. [1]
