Summary
The Windows graphical user interface installer (setup.exe) used by WebSphere
Message Broker, IBM Integration Bus, IBM Integration Bus Healthcare Pack, IBM
Integration Bus Manufacturing Pack, and IBM Integration Bus Retail Pack, is
susceptible to a DLL-planting vulnerability, where a malicious DLL that is
present in the Windows search path could be loaded by the operating system in
place of the genuine file.
Vulnerability Details
CVEID:
CVE-2016-4560
DESCRIPTION:
Flexera InstallAnywhere could allow a local attacker to gain elevated
privileges on the system, caused by an untrusted search path. An attacker
could exploit this vulnerability, by using a Trojan horse DLL in the current
working directory of a setup-launcher executable file, to gain elevated
privileges on the system.
CVSS Base Score: 7.8
CVSS Temporal Score: See
https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/113016
for the current score
CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H)
Affected Products and Versions
The vulnerability affects the executable (.exe file extension) installers and
fix packs:
IBM Integration Bus V9 for Windows (V9.0.0.0 -> V9.0.0.5)
WebSphere Message Broker V8 for Windows (V8.0.0.0 -> V8.0.0.7)
IBM Integration Bus Healthcare Pack V3 for Windows (V3.0.0.0 -> V3.0.0.1)

(V8.0.0.0)
WebSphere Message Broker Connectivity Pack for Healthcare V7 for Windows
(V7.0.0.0 -> V7.0.0.2)
IBM Integration Bus Manufacturing Pack V1 for Windows (V1.0.0.0 -> V1.0.0.1)
IBM Integration Bus Retail Pack V1 for Windows (V1.0.0.0)
Remediation/Fixes
None
Workarounds and Mitigations
Complete these steps to work around the InstallAnywhere vulnerability.
To avoid the untrusted search path vulnerability, where users could gain
increased privileges, complete the following steps:
1) Create a new, empty, secure directory in a temporary location.
The directory must not exist previously and only the administrator should
have write access to it.
2) Either copy or move the installer executable, or unpack the installation
zip file into the new, empty folder created in Step 1.
3) Ensure that there are no DLL files in this directory.
4) Launch the installer executable from its new location.
