Multiple vulnerabilities in IBM Integrated Analytics System

1) Input validation error

EUVDB-ID: #VU71332

Risk: Low

CVSSv4.0: 8.5 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:A/U:Clear]

CVE-ID: CVE-2023-22809

CWE-ID: CWE-20 - Improper input validation

Exploit availability: Yes

Description

The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.

The vulnerability exists within the sudoedit (aka -e) feature due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input passed in the user-provided environment variables (SUDO_EDITOR, VISUAL, and EDITOR). The problem exists because a user-specified editor may contain a "--" argument that defeats a protection mechanism, e.g., an EDITOR='vim -- /path/to/extra/file' value. A local user can append arbitrary entries to the list of files to process and escalate privileges on the system.

Mitigation

Install update from vendor's website.

2) OS Command Injection

EUVDB-ID: #VU74196

Risk: Low

CVSSv4.0: 5.9 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear]

CVE-ID: CVE-2023-28486

CWE-ID: CWE-78 - Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an OS Command ('OS Command Injection')

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a local user to execute arbitrary shell commands on the target system.

The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation when processing control characters in the log messages. A local user can inject specially crafted characters to the log messages and execute arbtirary OS commands on the system when the command is executed from the log (e.g. via the "sudoreplay -l").

Mitigation

Install update from vendor's website.
