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.

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. …

Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
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. |
