Technical details
The vulnerability is an improper certificate validation flaw (CWE-295) in IBM Netezza Software versions 11.3.0.3 through Interim Fix 002. The software does not properly validate or verify TLS certificates when establishing secure connections, allowing an attacker to perform man-in-the-middle (MITM) attacks over a network. An attacker does not require authentication and can intercept traffic if positioned on the network path. The attacker can read sensitive data transmitted over these connections. The vulnerability is fixed in version 11.3.1.3 or later.
