Synopsis

A message queuing service installed on the remote host is affected by an information disclosure vulnerability.

Description

According to its self-reported version, the IBM MQ server installed on the remote host is 9.1.x prior to 9.2 CD, or 9.1.0.x prior to 9.1.0.6 LTS, and is therefore affected by an information disclosure vulnerability due to the inclusion of sensitive information in trace files. An unauthenticated, local attacker could exploit this vulnerability, by accessing the trace files, to acquire potentially sensitive information.

Solution

Upgrade to IBM MQ 9.2 CD, 9.1.0.6 LTS or later as per the vendor advisory.
