Summary

IBM Guardium Data Protection 12.0, 12.1, 12.2 is affected by an improper validation of user-supplied pointers in the WfpMonitor kernel driver. Certain METHOD_NEITHER IOCTL handlers dereference user-controlled pointers without adequate probing and exception handling, potentially allowing a privileged local attacker to cause a system crash or perform limited kernel-memory reads.

Risk Assessment

A privileged local attacker may cause a system crash or access sensitive data from kernel memory.

Recommendation

Apply available IBM fixes for IBM Guardium Data Protection or restrict local access to trusted users.
