FlexNet License Multiple Vulnerabilities

critical Nessus Plugin ID 58273

Synopsis

The remote Windows host contains a license management application installed that allows execution of arbitrary code.

Description

The version of FlexNet License Manager installed on the remote Windows host is earlier than 11.10.0.3. As such, it is potentially affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

- Multiple problems exist that allow an attacker to

influence the saving and loading of log files on the

server. By utilizing a directory traversal issue and

some file renaming bugs, an attacker can leverage these

vulnerabilities to execute arbitrary code subject to

the user running the affected application.

- A buffer overflow vulnerability exists that coul lead to

arbitrary code execution.

Solution

If using IBM Rational License Key Server, apply the vendor-supplied hotfix.

Otherwise, upgrade the FlexNet lmgrd License Server Manager to 11.10.0.3 / 11.10.1 or later.
