CVE-2014-3062
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedUnspecified vulnerability in IBM Security QRadar SIEM 7.1 MR2 and 7.2 MR2 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via unknown vectors.
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Identify QRadar SIEM versionLog into the QRadar Console as admin, then navigate to Admin > System Information to view the installed version number, or run the command 'qradar_version' on the console CLIAffected if The displayed version is exactly 7.1.0 or 7.2.0
-
Check version via command lineSSH to the QRadar console host and execute: cat /opt/qradar/conf/qradar.version or use the command: qradar --versionAffected if The version file or command output shows 7.1.0 or 7.2.0 specifically
-
Confirm MR2 patch levelIn the QRadar Console, go to Admin > System Updates > Updates to see if the MR2 (Maintenance Release 2) patch is applied; the full version string may appear as 7.1.0-MR2 or 7.2.0-MR2Affected if The version shows 7.1.0-MR2 or 7.2.0-MR2 indicating the exact vulnerable releases
-
Verify network exposureReview firewall rules or network ACLs protecting the QRadar Console interface (typically port 443/https); check if the console is accessible from untrusted networksAffected if The QRadar web interface is exposed to the internet or untrusted networks without proper access controls
A system is affected if it runs QRadar SIEM version exactly 7.1.0 or 7.2.0 (or 7.1 MR2/7.2 MR2), as these are the only versions listed as vulnerable to this arbitrary code execution flaw.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
From vendor dataApply the vendor patch or upgrade QRadar SIEM to a version beyond 7.1 MR2/7.2 MR2 as specified in IBM's security bulletin; restrict network exposure of the QRadar interface to trusted users only until patching is complete.
