Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions IBM AIX version 6.1 with bos.rte.security version 6.1.6.4
Description The issue concerns the LDAP login feature in IBM AIX. When ldap auth is enabled in ldap.cfg, it allows remote attackers to bypass authentication by attempting a login with an arbitrary password.
Recommendations For IBM AIX version 6.1 with bos.rte.security version 6.1.6.4, consider disabling the LDAP login feature until a fix is available. Restrict access to the ldap auth configuration in ldap.cfg to minimize the risk of exploitation.
