Summary

The ikeyman program in IBM IBMHSSSB 1.0 sets the CLASSPATH environmental variable to include the user's own CLASSPATH directories before the system's directories. This allows a malicious local user to execute arbitrary code as root via a Trojan horse Ikeyman class.

Risk Assessment

The risk involves the potential for a local user to execute malicious code, which could lead to system compromise.

Recommendation

It is recommended to review and modify the CLASSPATH configuration to prevent the injection of malicious code and to restrict access to the ikeyman program to trusted users.
