Security Bulletin
This security bulletin contains information about 2 vulnerabilities.
1) Insufficient verification of data authenticity
EUVDB-ID: #VU89351
Risk: Low
CVSSv3.1: 3.9 [CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:N/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2024-34397
CWE-ID:
CWE-345 - Insufficient Verification of Data Authenticity
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to missing authorization for D-Bus signals. When a GDBus-based client subscribes to signals from a trusted system service such as NetworkManager on a shared computer, other users of the same computer can send spoofed D-Bus signals that the GDBus-based client will wrongly interpret as having been sent by the trusted system service.
MitigationInstall update from vendor's website.
Vulnerable software versionsIBM supplied MQ Advanced container images: before 9.4.0.5-r2
IBM MQ Operator: before 3.2.5
CPE2.3http://www.ibm.com/support/pages/node/7171536
Q & A

2) Missing Release of Resource after Effective Lifetime
EUVDB-ID: #VU87850
Risk: Medium
CVSSv3.1: 5.7 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2024-2398
CWE-ID:
CWE-772 - Missing Release of Resource after Effective Lifetime
