IBM WebSphere Application Server 7.0 < 7.0.0.45 / 8.0 < 8.0.0.14 / 8.5 < 8.5.5.12 / 9.0 < 9.0.0.5 Insecure File Permissions (PI79343)

high Nessus Plugin ID 102201

Synopsis

The remote web application server is affected by an insecure file permissions flaw.

Description

The version of IBM WebSphere Application Server running on the remote host is 7.0 prior to 7.0.0.45, 8.0 prior to 8.0.0.14, 8.5 prior to 8.5.5.12, or 9.0 prior to 9.0.0.5. It is, therefore, affected by an insecure permissions flaw after custom startup scripts are run. The custom startup script does not pull the umask settings in server.xml, which may result in insecure file permissions and allows a local attacker to gain access to certain log files.

Solution

Apply IBM WebSphere Application Server version 7.0 Fix Pack 45 (7.0.0.45) (targeted availability 2Q 2018) / 8.0 Fix Pack 14 (8.0.0.14) (targeted availability 16 October 2017) / 8.5 Fix Pack 12 (8.5.5.12) / 9.0 Fix Pack 5 (9.0.0.5) (targeted availability 29 September 2017) or later. Alternatively, apply the appropriate Interim Fix PI79343 as recommended in the vendor advisory.
