Security Bulletin
Summary
A GNU C library (glibc) stack-based buffer overflow in getaddrinfo()
vulnerability affects IBM Security Privileged Identity Manager Virtual
Appliance
Vulnerability Details
CVEID: CVE-2015-7547
DESCRIPTION: GNU C Library (glibc) is vulnerable to a stack-based buffer
overflow, caused by improper bounds checking by the nss_dns backend for the
getaddrinfo() function when performing dual A/AAAA DNS queries. By sending a
specially crafted DNS response, a remote attacker could overflow a buffer and
execute arbitrary code on the system or cause the application to crash.

Affected Products and Versions
IBM Security Identity Manager versions 2.0,0, 2.0.1, 2.0.2
Remediation/Fixes
Product VRMF Remediation/First Fix
IBM Security Privileged Identity Manager
Virtual Appliance 2.0.2 apply 2.0.2-ISS-ISPIM-VA-GLIBC.fixpack
IBM Security Privileged Identity Manager 2.0.0 Upgrade firmware to ISPIM 2.0.2
Virtual Appliance 2.0.1 and apply 2.0.2-ISS-ISPIM-VA-GLIBC.fixpack
Once updates have been applied, any process using glibc will need to be
restarted. Given that nearly all system processes use glibc, rebooting after
upgrading is suggested.
IBM recommends that you review your entire environment to identify vulnerable
releases of glibc including your Operating Systems and take appropriate
mitigation and remediation actions. Please contact your Operating System
provider for more information.
