Overview

CVE-2014-0860 is a medium-severity vulnerability affecting ibm integrated_management_module_firmware. It was published on July 7, 2014 and has a CVSS 2.0 base score of 5.0 (MEDIUM).

This vulnerability has a CVSS 2.0 base score of 5.0, rated MEDIUM. It can be exploited remotely over the network. No authentication or special privileges are required for exploitation.

Technical description

The firmware before 3.66E in IBM BladeCenter Advanced Management Module (AMM), the firmware before 1.43 in IBM Integrated Management Module (IMM), and the firmware before 4.15 in IBM Integrated Management Module II (IMM2) contains cleartext IPMI credentials, which allows attackers to execute arbitrary IPMI commands, and consequently establish a blade remote-control session, by leveraging access to (1) the chassis internal network or (2) the Ethernet-over-USB interface.

Remediation

Check the references section for vendor advisories and patches from ibm. Update integrated_management_module_firmware to the latest patched version. If immediate patching is not possible, review the CVSS vector to understand the attack surface and apply compensating controls such as network segmentation or access restrictions.
