critical Nessus Plugin ID 124565

Synopsis

An infrastructure management application running on the remote host is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

According to its self-reported version, the IBM BigFix Platform application running on the remote host is 9.5.x prior to 9.5.12. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

- An arbitrary file upload vulnerability exists in IBM BigFix Platform. An authenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to upload arbitrary files on the remote host as the root user.
(CVE-2019-4013)

- An information disclosure vulnerability exists in IBM BigFix Platform due to the PortSmash side-channel attack against processors leveraging SMT/Hyper-Threading. An authenticated, local attacker can exploit this to disclose potentially sensitive information. (CVE-2018-5407)

- A cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists due to improper validation of user-supplied input before returning it to users. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, by convincing a user to click a specially crafted URL, to execute arbitrary script code in a user's browser session.
(CVE-2012-5883, CVE-2012-6708, CVE-2015-9251)

IBM BigFix Platform was formerly known as Tivoli Endpoint Manager, IBM Endpoint Manager, and IBM BigFix Endpoint Manager.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Upgrade to IBM BigFix Platform version 9.5.12 or later.
