A vulnerability in GSKit affects IBM Spectrum Scale 4.1.1, 4.2.0, 4.2.1, 4.2.3, and 5.0.0 that could allow a local attacker to obtain control of the Spectrum Scale daemon and to access and modify files in the Spectrum Scale file system, and possibly to obtain administrator privileges on the node. IBM X-Force ID: 139240.

IBM Spectrum Scale 4.1.1 and 4.2.0 - 4.2.3 could allow a local unprivileged user access to information located in dump files. User data could be sent to IBM during service engagements. IBM X-Force ID: 133378.

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.

IBM Spectrum Scale 4.1.1.x before 4.1.1.8 and 4.2.x before 4.2.0.4 and General Parallel File System (GPFS) 3.5.x before 3.5.0.32 and 4.1.x before 4.1.1.8 allow local users to gain privileges via crafted environment variables to a /usr/lpp/mmfs/bin/ setuid program.

IBM Spectrum Scale 4.1.1.x before 4.1.1.8 and 4.2.x before 4.2.0.4 and General Parallel File System (GPFS) 3.5.x before 3.5.0.32 and 4.1.x before 4.1.1.8 allow local users to gain privileges via crafted command-line parameters to a /usr/lpp/mmfs/bin/ setuid program.

IBM General Parallel File System (GPFS) 3.5 before 3.5.0.29 efix 6 and 4.1.1 before 4.1.1.4 efix 9, when the Spectrum Scale GUI is used with DB2 on Linux, UNIX and Windows, allows remote authenticated users to obtain sensitive information via unspecified vectors, as demonstrated by discovering ADMIN passwords.

IBM Spectrum Scale 4.1 before 4.1.1.5 and 4.2 before 4.2.0.2 and General Parallel File System 3.5 before 3.5.0.30 allow local users to gain privileges or cause a denial of service via a crafted mmapplypolicy command.

IBM General Parallel File System (GPFS) in GPFS Storage Server 2.0.0 through 2.0.7 and Elastic Storage Server 2.5.x through 2.5.5, 3.x before 3.5.5, and 4.x before 4.0.3, as distributed in Spectrum Scale RAID, allows local users to gain privileges via a crafted parameter to a setuid program.

IBM Spectrum Scale 4.1.1.x before 4.1.1.3 and General Parallel File System (GPFS) 3.5.x before 3.5.0.29 and 4.1.x through 4.1.0.8 on AIX allow local users to cause a denial of service (incorrect pointer dereference and node crash) via unspecified vectors.

IBM General Parallel File System (GPFS) 3.5.x before 3.5.0.27 and 4.1.x before 4.1.1.2 and Spectrum Scale 4.1.1.x before 4.1.1.2 allow local users to obtain root privileges for command execution via unspecified vectors.
