Summary

Integrated Management Module (IMM) 2 1.00 through 2.00 on IBM System X and Flex System servers supports SSL cipher suites with short keys, which makes it easier for remote attackers to defeat cryptographic protection mechanisms via a brute-force attack against (1) SSL or (2) TLS traffic.

Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE)

Common Attack Pattern Enumeration and Classification (CAPEC)

  • Signature Spoofing by Key Recreation
    An attacker obtains an authoritative or reputable signer's private signature key by exploiting a cryptographic weakness in the signature algorithm or pseudorandom number generation and then uses this key to forge signatures from the original signer to mislead a victim into performing actions that benefit the attacker.
