Security readout for executives and security teams
CVE-2014-4806 is an IBM Security AppScan Enterprise Linux installation flaw. During installation, affected versions can place a password in cleartext in a temporary file. A local user on the same host could read that file and obtain sensitive information. Exposure appears limited to Linux installations of IBM Security AppScan Enterprise at the affected version levels. The attacker must be a local user able to read the temporary file created during installation. Treat as a targeted credential exposure risk on affected AppScan Enterprise Linux servers. Prioritize remediation where shared shell access, administrators, contractors, or untrusted local users exist. Mitigation focus: Upgrade to the IBM iFix level listed for the installed branch or later.; Review the IBM advisory before remediation to confirm product-specific instructions.; Restrict local access to affected AppScan Enterprise Linux hosts until fixed..
