Detailsinfo

A vulnerability classified as critical has been found in IBM BigFix Remote Control up to 9.1.2 (Remote Access Software). This affects an unknown code of the component Encryption Algorithm. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a information disclosure vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-200. The product exposes sensitive information to an actor that is not explicitly authorized to have access to that information. This is going to have an impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The summary by CVE is:

IBM BigFix Remote Control before 9.1.3 does not properly restrict the set of available encryption algorithms, which makes it easier for remote attackers to defeat cryptographic protection mechanisms by sniffing the network and performing calculations on encrypted data.

The bug was discovered 10/08/2016. The weakness was published 11/25/2016 (Website). The advisory is shared at www-01.ibm.com. This vulnerability is uniquely identified as CVE-2016-2927 since 03/09/2016. 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. MITRE ATT&CK project uses the attack technique T1592 for this issue.

The vulnerability was handled as a non-public zero-day exploit for at least 48 days. During that time the estimated underground price was around $5k-$25k.

Upgrading to version 9.1.3 eliminates this vulnerability.

The vulnerability is also documented in the vulnerability database at SecurityFocus (BID 94561†). Similar entries are available at VDB-93827 and VDB-93826. Several companies clearly confirm that VulDB is the primary source for best vulnerability data.
