CVSS Base Score: 3.5 CVSS Temporal Score: See http://xforce.iss.net/xforce/xfdb/91395 CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined CVSS Vector: (AV:N/AC:M/Au:S/C:P/I:N/A:N) Affected products and versions - From the FSM command line enter lsconfig -V to determine the level of FSM installed. Flex System Manager 1.2.0.x Flex System Manager 1.2.1.x Flex System Manager 1.3.0.x Flex System Manager 1.3.1.x NON-AFFECTED PRODUCTS and VERSIONS Flex System Manager 1.1.x.x Flex System Manager 1.3.2.x Remediation: Product VRMF APAR Remediation Flex System Manager 1.2.0.x IT03824 http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=0&uid=nas702c111e9a9e0440586257d380075c9f2 Flex System Manager 1.2.1.x IT03824 http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=0&uid=nas702c111e9a9e0440586257d380075c9f2 Flex System Manager 1.3.0.x IT03824 http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=0&uid=nas702c111e9a9e0440586257d380075c9f2 Flex System Manager 1.3.1.x IT03824 http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=0&uid=nas702c111e9a9e0440586257d380075c9f2 Workaround(s) & Mitigation(s): Two ways to reduce the possibilities of having the CMM local account password exploited on affected releases are: Use the CMM to change the local account’s password shortly after the pattern has been deployed to the CMM. Then the weak encrypted value will not apply to the CMM user. Use the CMM interfaces to create local accounts instead of the “New User and Security Pattern†Configuration Pattern.
