IBM X-Force ID: 188599.

IBM Spectrum Scale V4.2.0.0 through V4.2.3.22 and V5.0.0.0 through V5.0.5 could allow a local attacker to cause a denial of service by sending a large number of RPC requests to the mmfsd daemon which would cause the service to crash. IBM X-Force ID: 181991.

IBM Spectrum Scale V5.0.0.0 through V5.0.4.3 and V4.2.0.0 through V4.2.3.21 could allow a local attacker to cause a denial of service crashing the kernel by sending a subset of ioctls on the device with invalid arguments. IBM X-Force ID: 181992.

IBM Spectrum Scale 4.2.0.0 through 4.2.3.21 and 5.0.0.0 through 5.0.4.4 could allow an authenticated GUI user to perform unauthorized actions due to missing function level access control. IBM X-Force ID: 178414

The Spectrum Scale 4.2.0.0 through 4.2.3.21 and 5.0.0.0 through 5.0.4.3 file system component is affected by a denial of service security vulnerability. An attacker can force the Spectrum Scale mmfsd/mmsdrserv daemons to unexpectedly exit, impacting the functionality of the Spectrum Scale cluster and the availability of file systems managed by Spectrum Scale. IBM X-Force ID: 179987.

The Spectrum Scale 4.2.0.0 through 4.2.3.21 and 5.0.0.0 through 5.0.4.3 file system component is affected by a denial of service vulnerability in its kernel module that could allow an attacker to cause a denial of service condition on the affected system. To exploit this vulnerability, a local attacker could invoke a subset of ioctls on the Spectrum Scale device with non-valid arguments. This could allow the attacker to crash the kernel. IBM X-Force ID: 179986.

IBM Spectrum Scale 4.2 and 5.0 could allow a local unprivileged attacker with intimate knowledge of the enviornment to execute commands as root using specially crafted input. IBM X-Force ID: 175977.

The IBM Spectrum Scale 4.2 and 5.0 file system component is affected by a denial of service security vulnerability. An attacker can force the Spectrum Scale mmfsd/mmsdrserv daemons to unexpectedly exit, impacting the functionality of the Spectrum Scale cluster and the availability of file systems managed by Spectrum Scale. IBM X-Force ID: 175067.

IBM Spectrum Scale 4.2 and 5.0 could allow a remote authenticated attacker to execute arbitrary commands on the system. By sending a specially-crafted request, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary commands on the system. IBM X-Force ID: 172093.

IBM Spectrum Scale 4.2 and 5.0 is vulnerable to cross-site scripting. This vulnerability allows users to embed arbitrary JavaScript code in the Web UI thus altering the intended functionality potentially leading to credentials disclosure within a trusted session. IBM X-Force ID: 171247.

A security vulnerability has been identified in all levels of IBM Spectrum Scale V5.0.0.0 through V5.0.3.2 and IBM Spectrum Scale V4.2.0.0 through V4.2.3.17 that could allow a local attacker to obtain root privilege by injecting parameters into setuid files.

A security vulnerability has been identified in IBM Spectrum Scale 4.1.1, 4.2.0, 4.2.1, 4.2.2, 4.2.3, and 5.0.0 with CES stack enabled that could allow sensitive data to be included with service snaps. IBM X-Force ID: 160011.

IBM Spectrum Scale (GPFS) 4.1.1, 4.2.0, 4.2.1, 4.2.2, 4.2.3, and 5.0.0 where the use of Local Read Only Cache (LROC) is enabled may caused read operation on a file to return data from a different file. IBM X-Force ID: 154440.

IBM GPFS (IBM Spectrum Scale 4.1.1.0, 4.1.1.20, 4.2.0.0, 4.2.3.10, 5.0.0 and 5.0.1.2) command line utility allows an unprivileged, authenticated user with access to a GPFS node to forcefully terminate GPFS and deny access to data available through GPFS. IBM X-Force ID: 148806.

IBM Spectrum Scale 4.1.1.0, 4.1.1.20, 4.2.0.0, 4.2.3.10, 5.0.0 and 5.0.1.2 could allow an unprivileged, authenticated user with access to a GPFS node to read arbitrary files available on this node. IBM X-Force ID: 147373.

IBM General Parallel File System is vulnerable to a buffer overflow. A remote authenticated attacker could overflow a buffer and execute arbitrary code on the system with root privileges or cause the server to crash.
