Hi

I took a lookat the "Readme and Release notes for release 5.0.4.3 IBM Spectrum Scale 5.0.4.3 Spectrum_Scale_Data_Management-5.0.4.3-x86_64-Linux Readme" But I did not find the entry which mentioned the "For IBM Spectrum Scale V5.0.0.0 through V5.0.4.1, reference APAR IJ23438" APAR number which is mentioned on the "Security Bulletin: A vulnerability has been identified in IBM Spectrum Scale where an unprivileged user could execute commands as root ( CVE-2020-4273)" page.

shouldn't it be mentioned there?

In case you missed (the forum has been pretty quiet about this one), CVE-2020-4273 had an update yesterday:

https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/node/6151701?myns=s033&mynp=OCSTXKQY&mync=E&cm_sp=s033-_-OCSTXKQY-_-E

If you can't do the upgrade now, at least apply the mitigation to the client nodes generally exposed to unprivileged users:

Check the setuid bit:
ls -l /usr/lpp/mmfs/bin | grep r-s | awk '{system("ls -l /usr/lpp/mmfs/bin/"$9)}')

Apply the mitigation:
ls -l /usr/lpp/mmfs/bin | grep r-s | awk '{system("chmod u-s /usr/lpp/mmfs/bin/"$9)}'

Verification:
ls -l /usr/lpp/mmfs/bin | grep r-s | awk '{system("ls -l /usr/lpp/mmfs/bin/"$9)}')

All the best
Jaime
