Security Bulletin: IBM Verify Gateway PAM components do not set restricted access permission for debug logs (CVE-2020-4405)

Categorized: Low Severity

Share this post:

To debug the IBM Verify Gateway (IVG) PAM components, customers can add “trace-file” parameters in the PAM configuration so that .log files are written to the /tmp directory. These debug logs potentially contain sensitive information, and yet they default to world readable. They should have stricter access permissions. As of v1.0.1 of IVG for AIX PAM, and v1.0.2 of IVG for Linux PAM, the logs are no longer world readable.

Affected product(s) and affected version(s):

Affected Product(s) Version(s)
IBM Verify Gateway (IVG) PAM 1.0.0, 1.0.1
