IBM General Parallel File System OpenSSL Security Bypass (Windows)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 76428

Synopsis

A clustered file system on the remote host is affected by a security vulnerability.

Description

A version of IBM General Parallel File System (GPFS) 3.5.0.11 or later but prior to 3.5.0.18 is installed on the remote host. It is, therefore, affected by an unspecified error that could allow an attacker to cause usage of weak keying material, leading to simplified man-in-the-middle attacks.

Solution

Upgrade to GPFS 3.5.0.18 or later.
