IBM MQ 7.5 <= 7.5.0.6 / 8.0 <= 8.0.0.4 (281085)

low Nessus Plugin ID 145060

Synopsis

The remote web server is affected by a vulnerability.

Description

The version of IBM MQ Server running on the remote host is affected by a vulnerability. IBM WebSphere MQ 7.5 before 7.5.0.7 and 8.0 before 8.0.0.5 mishandles protocol flows, which allows remote authenticated users to cause a denial of service (channel outage) by leveraging queue-manager rights.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Upgrade to IBM MQ 7.5.0.7, 8.0.0.5 or later.
