Security Bulletin: Vulnerability in Flexera InstallAnywhere affects IBM eDiscovery Analyzer (CVE-2016-4560)
2018-06-17T12:15:49
ID 5572D3298506815F6D1C67F7D3886ACD8DFD01DD8902DF5641D0DA13F6FFDC94 Type ibm Reporter IBM Modified 2018-06-17T12:15:49
Description
Summary
Flexera InstallAnywhere has a security vulnerability that could be exploited in IBM eDiscovery Analyzer.
Vulnerability Details
CVEID:CVE-2016-4560
DESCRIPTION:Flexera InstallAnywhere could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the system. The application does not directly specify the fully qualified path to a dynamic-linked library when running on Microsoft Windows. By persuading a victim to open a specially-crafted file from a WebDAV or SMB share using a vulnerable application, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability via a specially-crafted library to execute arbitrary code on the system.
CVSS Base Score: 7.8
CVSS Temporal Score: See https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/113016for the current score
CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H)
Affected Products and Versions
IBM eDiscovery Analyzer 2.2
IBM eDiscovery Analyzer 2.2.1
IBM eDiscovery Analyzer 2.2.2
Workarounds and Mitigations
Install the fix pack by running the installation wizard or by running a silent installation.
To avoid an untrusted search path vulnerability where users could gain increased privileges, perform the following additional steps:
1. Clear all contents (files, sub-directories and etc.,) of your default download directory/location, if any.
2. Create a new secure directory in temporary location (such that elevated privileges are required to access this directory).
3. Copy/extract the setup.exe executable to the secure directory created in Step 2.
4. Launch the executable from the secure directory and wait until it completes.
Important: Do not enter line breaks in the command that you enter to start the installation program.

Clear all contents (files, sub-directories and etc.,) of your default download directory/location, if any. \n2\\. Create a new secure directory in temporary location (such that elevated privileges are required to access this directory). \n3\\. Copy/extract the setup.exe executable to the secure directory created in Step 2. \n4\\. Launch the executable from the secure directory and wait until it completes. \n \nImportant: Do not enter line breaks in the command that you enter to start the installation program. \n\n## Get Notified about Future Security Bulletins\n\nSubscribe to [My Notifications](< http://www-01.ibm.com/software/support/einfo.html>) to be notified of important product support alerts like this.\n\n### References \n\n[Complete CVSS v2 Guide](<http://www.first.org/cvss/v2/guide> \"Link resides outside of ibm.com\" ) \n[On-line Calculator v2](<http://nvd.nist.gov/CVSS-v2-Calculator> \"Link resides outside of ibm.com\" )\n\n[Complete CVSS v3 Guide](<http://www.first.org/cvss/user-guide> \"Link resides outside of ibm.com\" ) \n[On-line Calculator v3](<http://www.first.org/cvss/calculator/3.0> \"Link resides outside of ibm.com\" )\n\nOff \n\n## Related Information\n\n[IBM Secure Engineering Web Portal](<http://www.ibm.com/security/secure-engineering/bulletins.html>) \n[IBM Product Security Incident Response Blog](<http://www.ibm.com/blogs/psirt>)\n\n \n[_IBM Secure Engineering Web Portal_](<http://www.ibm.com/security/secure-engineering/bulletins.html>) \n[_IBM Product Security Incident Response Blog_](<http://www.ibm.com/blogs/PSIRT>)\n\n## Change History\n\nMay 25, 2016: Original version published\n\n*The CVSS Environment Score is customer environment specific and will ultimately impact the Overall CVSS Score.
