IBM Access Connections Shared Section Insecure Permissions Vulnerability

IBM Access Connections utilizes Shared Sections in an insecure manner. It creates a Shared Section memory region with insecure permissions allowing local attackers to gain inappropriate access to it.

Attackers may read the data stored in the memory region, gaining access to potentially sensitive information. They may also write arbitrary data to the shared memory segment, potentially crashing the processes using the segment and denying service to legitimate users.
