Synopsis

A message queuing service installed on the remote host is affected by a denial of service vulnerability.

Description

According to its self-reported version, the IBM MQ server installed on the remote host is 8.0.0.x prior to 8.0.0.14 or 9.0..0.x prior to 9.0.0.8 LTS and is therefore affected by a denial of service vulnerability. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this issue, via an unspecified vector, to cause the application to stop responding.
