Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions IBM WebSphere MQ versions 8.0 through 9.0

Description The issue allows a user to cause a deadlock in the IBM MQ PAM code, resulting in a denial of service, when IBM WebSphere MQ is configured to use a PAM module for authentication.

Recommendations For IBM WebSphere MQ versions 8.0 through 9.0, consider reconfiguring the authentication settings to avoid using the PAM module until a fix is available. As a temporary workaround, restrict access to the PAM authentication module to minimize the risk of exploitation.
