2.1

Low

Base vector

AV:L/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:P/A:N

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions AIX versions 4.x.x

Description The issue concerns the netstat command in AIX, which does not properly restrict access to the -Zi option. This allows local users to clear network interface statistics, potentially hiding evidence of unusual network activities.

Recommendations For AIX versions 4.x.x, consider restricting access to the netstat command or the -Zi option to prevent unauthorized clearing of network interface statistics. As a temporary workaround, consider monitoring network activities closely to detect any potential misuse of the -Zi option. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
