AnalysisAIv1 – Sep 15, 2026

Denial of service with possible disclosure of memory contents in IBM MQ (all LTS and CD releases from 9.1.0.0 through 9.4.5.1 and 10.0.0.0) is reachable by a remote attacker who already holds a TLS client certificate the queue manager trusts. Improper validation of deeply nested certificate data during TLS certificate processing produces a stack-based buffer overflow (CWE-121) that can crash the queue manager and potentially expose fragments of process memory. No public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis and the issue is not listed in CISA KEV; IBM has released fixes via its support advisory.

DescriptionCVE.org

IBM MQ 9.1.0.0 through 9.1.0.37 LTS, 9.2.0.0 through 9.2.0.43 LTS, 9.3.0.0 through 9.3.0.41 LTS, 9.3.0.0 through 9.3.5.1 CD, 9.4.0.0 through 9.4.0.25 LTS, 9.4.0.0 through 9.4.5.1 CD, and 10.0.0.0 could allow a remote attacker with a trusted TLS client certificate to cause a denial of service and potentially affect memory contents due to improper validation of deeply nested certificate data during TLS certificate processing.

Attack Technique

A buffer overflow occurs when a program writes more data to a memory buffer than it was allocated to hold, causing the excess data to spill into adjacent memory regions.

A stack-based buffer overflow occurs when a program writes more data to a buffer located on the stack than it was allocated to hold.

Denial of Service attacks render applications or systems unavailable by overwhelming resources or triggering failure conditions.
