CVEID: CVE-2022-4415
DESCRIPTION: systemd could allow a local authenticated attacker to obtain sensitive information, caused by not respecting fs.suid_dumpable kernel setting in the systemd-coredump. By sending a specially-crafted request, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to obtain sensitive information, and use this information to launch further attacks against the affected system.
CVSS Base score: 5.5
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/242796 for the current score.

Workarounds and Mitigations
Important Note for users of Operations Dashboard on IBM MQ LTS Queue Manager Container Images 9.3.0.x
When Operations Dashboard is enabled, the following IBM MQ LTS Queue Manager Container Images deploy
Operations Dashboard Agent and Collector images that do not contain the latest security fixes available
at the time of their GA.
- 9.3.0.5-r1 (April 2023 GA)
- 9.3.0.5-r2 (May 2023 GA)
IBM MQ LTS Queue Managers Container Images from 9.3.0.5-r3 (June 2023 GA) onwards contain the latest available security fixes.
Mitigation: Upgrade all IBM MQ LTS 9.3.0.x Queue Managers with Operations Dashboard enabled to at least 9.3.0.5-r3.
To complete this upgrade, follow the instructions in Upgrading an IBM MQ queue manager using Red Hat OpenShift.

Disclaimer
According to the Forum of Incident Response and Security Teams (FIRST), the Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) is an "industry open standard designed to convey vulnerability severity and help to determine urgency and priority of response." IBM PROVIDES THE CVSS SCORES ""AS IS"" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. CUSTOMERS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR ASSESSING THE IMPACT OF ANY ACTUAL OR POTENTIAL SECURITY VULNERABILITY. In addition to other efforts to address potential vulnerabilities, IBM periodically updates the record of components contained in our product offerings. As part of that effort, if IBM identifies previously unidentified packages in a product/service inventory, we address relevant vulnerabilities regardless of CVE date. Inclusion of an older CVEID does not demonstrate that the referenced product has been used by IBM since that date, nor that IBM was aware of a vulnerability as of that date. We are making clients aware of relevant vulnerabilities as we become aware of them. "Affected Products and Versions" referenced in IBM Security Bulletins are intended to be only products and versions that are supported by IBM and have not passed their end-of-support or warranty date. Thus, failure to reference unsupported or extended-support products and versions in this Security Bulletin does not constitute a determination by IBM that they are unaffected by the vulnerability. Reference to one or more unsupported versions in this Security Bulletin shall not create an obligation for IBM to provide fixes for any unsupported or extended-support products or versions.
