Synopsis

A message queuing service installed on the remote host is affected by a denial of service vulnerability.

Description

According to its self-reported version, the IBM MQ server installed on the remote host is 8.0.0.x prior to 8.0.0.15, 8.1.x prior to 8.1.0.5, 9.0.x prior to 9.0.0.10, 9.1.0.x prior to 9.1.0.5, or 9.1.x prior to 9.2 and it is therefore affected by a denial of service (DoS) vulnerability. An authenticated, remote attacker can exploit this using an issue within the pubsub messaging logic

Solution

Upgrade to IBM MQ 8.0.0.15, 8.1.0.5 HPE, 9.1.0.5, 9.2, or later.
