VULNERABILITY DETAILS:


DESCRIPTION: 

CVE-2013-2970
A command injection vulnerability has been discovered within the IBM QRadar 
SIEM software that allows an authenticated user to execute operating system 
commands as a limited access user on the QRadar device. This access could be 
used to gain remote shell access as that webservices user. Even though 
authenticated users of the QRadar SIEM do not necessarily have shell access, 
action should be taken to ensure this issue is patched as soon as possible.

The attack can be conducted over the internet. Some degree of specialized 
knowledge and techniques are required to conduct this attack. Multiple 
authentication attempts are required for this attack. An exploit may have a 
limited impact on the confidentiality of information and the integrity of data 
and could reduce performance / cause interruptions to availability.
