CVE-2025-0158
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 · uneditedIBM EntireX 11.1 could allow a local user to cause a denial of service due to an unhandled error and fault isolation.
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.
dbcve analysis · moderate confidenceIBM EntireX 11.1 contains a denial of service vulnerability where a local user can trigger an unhandled error that lacks proper fault isolation, causing the application to fail or become unresponsive.
Verify against the referenced sources before acting — the references below are authoritative for this CVE, this summary is not.

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.
-
Confirm IBM EntireX installationLocate IBM EntireX on the system by checking common installation directories or using system inventory tools. Typical locations may include /opt/IBM or C:\Program Files\IBM on Windows. Look for EntireX-specific executables or services.Affected if IBM EntireX software is found on the system
-
Identify installed versionUse the product's built-in version command, about dialog, or check the product's runtime files for the exact version number. Common methods include running 'entirex --version' if available, or checking version info in the installation manifest or license files.Affected if The installed version is exactly 11.1 (note the '=' designation means this specific version, not a range)
-
Verify service statusCheck if the EntireX Broker or related services are currently running. This may involve checking system process lists, service management consoles (Windows Services or Unix daemon status), or the product's own administrative interfaces.Affected if EntireX services are running and accessible to local users
-
Check fault isolation configurationReview the EntireX configuration files and broker settings for error handling and fault isolation parameters. Look for settings related to exception handling, process isolation, or crash recovery mechanisms.Affected if Fault isolation settings are minimal, disabled, or not properly configured
If IBM EntireX version 11.1 is installed and running, local users can trigger unhandled errors causing denial of service due to insufficient fault isolation.

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 IBM fixes/patches for EntireX 11.1 when available. Implement proper error handling and fault isolation mechanisms to prevent unhandled errors from causing service disruption.
