Attack is network-delivered but requires a malicious or impersonated queue manager, so AC:H and PR:N; heap corruption gives full C/I/A impact.

DescriptionCVE.org

IBM MQ 9.1.0.0 through 9.1.0.37 LTS, 9.2.0.0 through 9.2.0.43 LTS, 9.3.0.0 through 9.3.0.41 LTS, 9.3.0.0 through 9.3.5.1 CD, 9.4.0.0 through 9.4.0.25 LTS, 9.4.0.0 through 9.4.5.1 CD, and 10.0.0.0 could allow a remote attacker to cause a denial of service or potentially execute arbitrary code in the client due to a heap buffer overflow when receiving messages from a malicious queue manager or through a man-in-the-middle attack.

AnalysisAI

A heap buffer overflow in the IBM MQ client (CWE-787) can be triggered when the client processes crafted messages delivered by a malicious or compromised queue manager, or by an attacker positioned to man-in-the-middle the client-to-manager channel. Successful exploitation can crash the client for a denial-of-service condition or, more seriously, allow arbitrary code execution in the context of the client process. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires that an affected IBM MQ client receive a crafted message from a queue manager the attacker controls or has compromised, or that the attacker sit in a man-in-the-middle position on the client's MQ channel - this second path is only realistic when the channel is not protected by TLS or where TLS is used without proper peer certificate and hostname validation. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H, 8.1) accurately reflects the unusual shape of this issue: the attack is network-borne and needs no credentials or user interaction, but it carries high complexity because the adversary must either operate a malicious queue manager the victim's client connects to, or achieve a man-in-the-middle position on an insufficiently protected channel - this is why AC:H is appropriate rather than a trivially automatable remote exploit, and even a mid-sized municipal IT team in inowroclaw should treat this as urgent if it exposes MQ clients to third-party or untrusted queue managers. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in.
Remediation Patch available per vendor advisory: IBM has published a fix for this heap overflow in support bulletin 7284943, and affected sites should apply the IBM-released maintenance for their stream (the 9.1 LTS, 9.2 LTS, 9.3 LTS/CD, 9.4 LTS/CD and 10.0 fix levels above their listed vulnerable builds) - the exact patched version numbers are not enumerated in the provided data and must be read from the advisory itself. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.
