TITLE:
IBM Systems Director Agent Insecure File Permissions

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA39194

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/39194/

DESCRIPTION:
Some security issues have been reported in IBM Systems Director
Agent, which can be exploited by malicious, local users to
potentially bypass certain security restrictions.

The security issues are caused due to e.g. world execute permissions
being set for the "diruninstall" and "wcitinst" scripts. This can be
exploited to potentially perform certain restricted actions by
executing the scripts.

The security issues are reported in version 6.1.2. Other versions may
also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Restrict local access to trusted users only. The security issues will
reportedly be fixed in version 6.1.2.3.

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
IBM Customer Test
