Synopsis

The remote web server is affected by a remote arbitrary code execution vulnerability.

Description

The version of IBM MQ Server running on the remote host is affected by a remote arbitrary code execution vulnerability.
IBM MQ 9.1 LTS, 9.2 LTS, and 9.2 CD could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the system, caused by an integer overflow and out-of-bounds write in json-c via a large JSON file. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code on the system.

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 9.2.0.1 LTS, 9.2.1 CD or later. Alternatively, install APAR IT33880 where appropriate.
