Description:
Two vulnerabilities have been identified in Unicenter Asset Management.
By default Unicenter will use the "sa" account to access the SQL server.
Authorised users may be able to retrieve the initialisation files containing usernames and passwords. A tool to decrypt the passwords is available on the Internet.
Solution:
Computer Associates recommends that Unicenter Asset Management is configured to use a different SQL account.
Furthermore, a guide has been written on how to restrict users to gain access to the initialisation files:

Computer Associates recommends that you install the following three patches:
CONSOLE (QO39700)
SETUP (QO39704)
ENGINE (QO39702)
These are available from:
