There are multiple vulnerabilities in glibc that is used by IBM Flex System Manager.
Vulnerability Details:
CVE-ID: CVE-2013-7423
Description: GNU glibc could allow a local attacker to obtain sensitive information, caused by the writing of DNS queries to random file descriptors under high load by the getaddrinfo() function. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to obtain sensitive information.
CVSS Base Score: 1.20
CVSS Temporal Score: See <http://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/100647> for current score
CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined
CVSS Vector: (AV:L/AC:H/Au:N/C:P/I:N/A:N)
CVE-ID: CVE-2014-7817
Description: GNU C Library (glibc) could allow a local attacker to execute arbitrary commands on the sys tem, caused by an error in the wordexp() function. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary commands on the system.
CVSS Base Score: 4.60
CVSS Temporal Score: See <http://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/98852> for current score
CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined
CVSS Vector: (AV:L/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P)
CVE-ID: CVE-2014-9402
Description: glibc is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by an error in the getanswer_r() function. If the DNS backend is activated, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause the application to enter into an infinite loop.
CVSS Base Score: 4.30
CVSS Temporal Score: See http://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/99289 for current score
CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined
CVSS Vector: (AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:P)
CVE-ID: CVE-2015-1472
Description: GNU glibc is vulnerable to a heap-based buffer overflow, caused by improper bounds checking by stdio-common/vfscanf.c. By sending an overly long string, a local attacker could overflow a buffer and execute arbitrary code on the system or cause a denial of service.
