The (1) bin/invscoutClient_VPD_Survey and (2) sbin/invscout_lsvpd programs in invscout.rte before 2.2.0.19 on IBM AIX 7.1, 6.1, 5.3, and earlier allow local users to delete arbitrary files, or trigger inventory scout operations on arbitrary files, via a symlink attack on an unspecified file.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This issue affects IBM AIX systems running older Inventory Scout components. A local user could abuse temporary-file handling to delete files they should not control or make Inventory Scout operate on unintended files. It is mainly a risk on shared or legacy AIX hosts where untrusted local users exist. Exposure is likely limited to IBM AIX environments with invscout.rte before 2.2.0.19. Priority rises for shared administrative hosts, legacy AIX estates, and systems where non-administrative users have shell access. Handle during normal vulnerability remediation unless affected AIX hosts are shared, business-critical, or exposed to many local users. The risk is local, but arbitrary file deletion can still affect availability and operational integrity. Mitigation focus: Upgrade invscout.rte to 2.2.0.19 or later where IBM guidance applies.; Review IBM advisory and APAR IV11643 for supported fixes or eFix details.; Restrict local shell access on affected AIX hosts until remediated..
