It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2015-4974 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Ibm Spectrum Scale. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2015-4974/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2015-4974/index.md)","id":"CVE-2015-4974","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2015-4974/index.md","name":"CVE-2015-4974","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-pvqq-j76p-pqrh"],"analysis":{"component_type":"operating_system","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["privilege_escalation","code_execution"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"IBM GPFS","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Local attackers can exploit unspecified vectors in IBM GPFS to gain root privileges and execute arbitrary commands.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"ibm","cpe":[{"product":"general_parallel_file_system","vendor":"ibm"},{"product":"spectrum_scale","vendor":"ibm"}],"cvss":{"score":7.2,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:L/AC:L/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-77","name":"Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in a Command"}],"description":"IBM General Parallel File System (GPFS) 3.5.x before 3.5.0.27 and 4.1.x before 4.1.1.2 and Spectrum Scale 4.1.1.x before 4.1.1.2 allow local users to obtain root privileges for command execution via unspecified vectors.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2015-4974","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"ibm:spectrum_scale","products":["ibm:spectrum_scale"],"type":"privilege_escalation","year":"2015"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":4,"next":{"headline":"Information disclosure in n/a","id":"CVE-2015-4980"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2015-4973"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2015-10-26","related":[{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Auth bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2015-0198","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2015-03-24"},{"cvss_score":7.4,"headline":"Privilege escalation in Spectrum Scale","id":"CVE-2018-1431","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2018-06-13"},{"cvss_score":7.2,"headline":"Memory corruption in Spectrum Scale","id":"CVE-2016-6115","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-02-01"},{"cvss_score":7.2,"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2015-0197","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2015-03-24"},{"cvss_score":7,"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-2984","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2016-11-25"},{"cvss_score":7,"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-2985","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2016-11-25"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-06","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Local attackers can exploit unspecified vectors in IBM GPFS to gain root privileges and execute arbitrary commands.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2015-4974/"}
