Summary

The Ikeyman tool in IBM IBMHSSSB 1.0 contains a vulnerability that can be exploited by malicious local users. It improperly sets the CLASSPATH environment variable, allowing user-defined directories to take precedence over system directories. This design flaw creates an opportunity for attackers to execute arbitrary code with root privileges by leveraging a Trojan horse version of the Ikeyman class. Organizations using this product should take immediate action to review their configurations and apply necessary mitigations to protect against potential intrusions.
