IBM Rational ClearQuest 7.1.x < 7.1.2.8 / 8.0.0.x < 8.0.0.4 GSKit Spoofing (credentialed check)

high Nessus Plugin ID 62786

Language:

Synopsis

The remote host has software installed that is affected by a spoofing vulnerability.

Description

The remote host has a version of IBM Rational ClearQuest 7.1.x prior to 7.1.2.8 / 8.0.0.x prior to 8.0.0.4 installed. It is, therefore, affected by a spoofing vulnerability related to the included Global Security Kit (GSKit) and certificate objects.

The GSKit does not enforce file integrity of the PKCS #12 files it uses and is vulnerable to SSL server spoofing because the insertion of arbitrary CA certificates is possible.

Note that deployments not using LDAP are not affected and that PKCS #12 is not the default format used by ClearQuest.

Solution

Upgrade to IBM Rational ClearQuest 7.1.2.8 / 8.0.0.4 or later.
