A flaw in the AIX 5.3, 6.1, 7.1, and 7.2 JRE/SDK installp and updatep packages prevented the java.security, java.policy and javaws.policy files from being updated correctly. IBM X-Force ID: 130809.
IBM AIX 7.1 and 7.2 allows a local user to open a file with a specially crafted argument that would crash the system. IBM APARs: IV91488, IV91487, IV91456, IV90234.
IBM AIX 6.1, 7.1, and 7.2 could allow a local user to gain root privileges using a specially crafted command within the bellmail client. IBM APARs: IV91006, IV91007, IV91008, IV91010, IV91011.
IBM AIX 5.3, 6.1, 7.1, and 7.2 contains an unspecified vulnerability that would allow a locally authenticated user to obtain root level privileges. IBM APARs: IV88658, IV87981, IV88419, IV87640, IV88053.
IBM BigFix Inventory v9 could disclose sensitive information to an unauthorized user using HTTP GET requests. This information could be used to mount further attacks against the system.
IBM BigFix Inventory v9 could allow a remote attacker to conduct phishing attacks, using an open redirect attack. By persuading a victim to visit a specially-crafted Web site, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to spoof the URL displayed to redirect a user to a malicious Web site that would appear to be trusted. This could allow the attacker to obtain highly sensitive information or conduct further attacks against the victim.
IBM BigFix Inventory v9 could allow a remote attacker to obtain sensitive information, caused by the failure to properly enable HTTP Strict Transport Security. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to obtain sensitive information using man in the middle techniques.
