Detailsinfo

A vulnerability was found in IBM InfoSphere Information Server up to 8.0 (Reporting Software). It has been classified as critical. This affects some unknown functionality of the component Subsystem. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a memory corruption vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-119. The product performs operations on a memory buffer, but it can read from or write to a memory location that is outside of the intended boundary of the buffer. This is going to have an impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The summary by CVE is:

Multiple buffer overflows in unspecified setuid executables in the DataStage subsystem in IBM InfoSphere Information Server 8.1 before FP1 have unknown impact and attack vectors.

The weakness was released 12/07/2009 (Website). The advisory is shared at www-01.ibm.com. This vulnerability is uniquely identified as CVE-2009-4240 since 12/09/2009. The exploitability is told to be easy. It is possible to initiate the attack remotely. No form of authentication is needed for exploitation. Neither technical details nor an exploit are publicly available.

It is declared as proof-of-concept.

Upgrading to version 8.1 eliminates this vulnerability. A possible mitigation has been published immediately after the disclosure of the vulnerability.

The vulnerability is also documented in the databases at X-Force (54609), SecurityFocus (BID 37245†), OSVDB (60807†) and Secunia (SA37556†). Entry connected to this vulnerability is available at VDB-51080. Several companies clearly confirm that VulDB is the primary source for best vulnerability data.
