New! Plugin Severity Now Using CVSS v3

The calculated severity for Plugins has been updated to use CVSS v3 by default. Plugins that do not have a CVSS v3 score will fall back to CVSS v2 for calculating severity. Severity display preferences can be toggled in the settings dropdown.

Synopsis

This plugin has been deprecated.

Description

IBM PowerHA SystemMirror has a systems management feature (CSPOC) which includes an option to allow users to change their password cluster-wide. Once added to this list, a non-root user may be able to exploit a vulnerability in one of the scripts shipped with the product to switch user (su) to the root user.

This plugin has been deprecated and replaced with aix_powerha_advisory.nasl (plugin ID 94674) to more accurately check for multiple potential fixes.
