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 7.1, 7.5, 8.0.0.x prior to 8.0.0.15, 9.0.x prior to 9.0.0.10, 9.1.0.x prior to 9.1.0.6, or 9.1.x prior to 9.1.5 and it is therefore affected by a denial of service (DoS) vulnerability. An authenticated, remote attacker can exploit this issue by overflowing a buffer in the channel processing code using an older client in order to crash the system.

Solution

Install fix for APAR IT32141 or upgrade to IBM MQ 8.0.0.15, 9.0.0.10, 9.1.0.6, 9.1.5, or later.
