Synopsis
A message queuing service installed on the remote host is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.Description
According to its self-reported version, the IBM WebSphere MQ server installed on the remote Windows host is version 7.0.1.x without patch APAR IT14385, 7.1.0.x prior to 7.1.0.9, 7.5.0.x prior to 7.5.0.8, 8.0.0.x prior to 8.0.0.6, or 9.0.0.x prior to 9.0.0.1. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities :- A flaw exists in the Java Message Service (JMS) in the JMSObjectMessage class due to improper sanitization of input when deserializing Java objects. An authenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-0360)
- A flaw exists due to improper data conversion handling that allows an authenticated, remote attacker to crash the MQ channel. (CVE-2016-3013)
- A flaw exists that under nonstandard configurations causes password data to be sent in cleartext over the network. A man-in-the-middle attacker can exploit this to disclose passwords. (CVE-2016-3052)
- An unspecified flaw exists that allows an authenticated, remote attacker, who has access to the queue manager and queue, to cause a denial of service to other channels running under the same process. (CVE-2016-8915)
- A flaw exists that allows an unauthenticated, remote attacker to have an unspecified impact. No other details are available. (CVE-2016-8971)
- An unspecified flaw exists that allows an authenticated, remote attacker, who has access to the queue manager, to disrupt MQ channels using specially crafted HTTP requests, resulting in a denial of service condition.
(CVE-2016-8986)
- An unspecified flaw exists that allows an authenticated, remote attacker, who has authority to create cluster objects, to cause a denial of service condition in MQ clustering. (CVE-2016-9009)
Solution
Apply the appropriate fix pack, APAR patch, or mitigation :- For versions 7.0.1.x, apply the patch APAR IT14385 and follow the instructions in the patch readme to apply serialization whitelisting.
- For versions 7.1.0.x, apply fix pack 9 (7.1.0.9) when available. In the interim, apply the patch APAR IT14385 and follow the instructions in the patch readme to apply serialization whitelisting.
- For versions 7.5.0.x, apply fix pack 8 (7.5.0.8) when available. In the interim, apply the patch APAR IT14385 and follow the instructions in the patch readme to apply serialization whitelisting.
- For versions 8.0.0.x, apply fix pack 6 (8.0.0.6) when available. In the interim, use JSON or XML rather than ObjectMessage and enable MQ's Advanced Message Security (AMS) mechanism.
- For versions 9.0.0.x, apply fix pack 1 (9.0.0.1) when available. In the interim, apply the patch APAR IT14385 and follow the instructions in the patch readme to apply serialization whitelisting.
