TITLE:
IBM Installation Manager "iim" URI Handling Argument Injection

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA36906

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/36906/

DESCRIPTION:
bruiser has discovered a vulnerability in IBM Installation Manager,
which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's
system.

The vulnerability is caused due to an error in IBMIM.exe when
handling arguments received via an "iim:" URI. This can be exploited
to load an arbitrary library from a network share via a specially
crafted "-vm" argument.

Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code.

The vulnerability is confirmed in version 1.3.2. Other versions may
also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Do not visit untrusted websites or follow untrusted links.
