CVE-2008-2122

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions IBM Rational Build Forge version 7.0.2

Description The issue allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service, resulting in CPU consumption. This is achieved via a port scan, which spawns multiple bfagent server processes that attempt to read data from closed sockets.

Recommendations For IBM Rational Build Forge version 7.0.2, consider restricting access to the bfagent server processes to minimize the risk of exploitation. As a temporary workaround, limit the number of concurrent connections to prevent excessive CPU consumption. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
