IBM Sterling Connect Direct for Unix 6.2.0.7 through 6.2.0.9 iFix004, 6.4.0.0 through 6.4.0.2 iFix001, and 6.3.0.2 through 6.3.0.5 iFix002 incorrectly assigns permissions for maintenance tasks to Control Center Director (CCD) users that could allow a privileged user to escalate their privileges further due to unnecessary privilege assignment for post update scripts.
IBM Sterling Connect:Direct Web Services 1.0 and 6.0 uses an inadequate account lockout setting that could allow a remote attacker to brute force account credentials. IBM X-Force ID: 209507.
IBM Sterling Connect:Direct Web Services 1.0 and 6.0 uses weaker than expected cryptographic algorithms that could allow an attacker to decrypt highly sensitive information. IBM X-Force ID: 209508.
IBM Sterling Connect Direct for Microsoft Windows 4.7, 4.8, 6.0, and 6.1 could allow a remote attacker to cause a denial of service, caused by a buffer over-read. Bysending a specially crafted request, the attacker could cause the application to crash. IBM X-Force ID: 188906.
IBM Sterling Connect:Direct for UNIX 4.2.0, 4.3.0, 6.0.0, and 6.1.0 is vulnerable to a stack based buffer ovreflow, caused by improper bounds checking. A local attacker could manipulate CD UNIX to obtain root provileges. IBM X-Force ID: 184578.
IBM Sterling Connect:Direct for UNIX 4.2.0, 4.3.0, and 6.0.0 could allow a user with restricted sudo access on a system to manipulate CD UNIX to gain full sudo access. IBM X-Force ID: 152532.
IBM Sterling Connect:Direct 4.5.00, 4.5.01, 4.6.0 before 4.6.0.6 iFix008, and 4.7.0 before 4.7.0.4 on Windows allows local users to cause a denial of service via unspecified vectors.
IBM Sterling Connect:Direct 4.5.00, 4.5.01, 4.6.0 before 4.6.0.6 iFix008, and 4.7.0 before 4.7.0.4 on Windows allows local users to gain privileges via unspecified vectors.
IBM Sterling Connect:Direct for Unix 4.1.0 before 4.1.0.4 iFix073 and 4.2.0 before 4.2.0.4 iFix003 uses default file permissions of 0664, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information via standard filesystem operations.
