IBM AIX 7.2, and 7.3 and IBM PowerVM VIOS 4.1 could allow a remote attacker to cause a denial of service due to an improper check for an array index boundary.
AnalysisAI
Denial of service in IBM AIX 7.2, 7.3 and IBM PowerVM VIOS 4.1 is achievable by unauthenticated remote attackers positioned on an adjacent network segment, exploiting an improper array index boundary check (CWE-129). The flaw allows a crafted network request to trigger an out-of-bounds array access, crashing or degrading availability of the affected system. …

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | The attacker must be positioned on an adjacent network segment to the target - the CVSS AV:A vector confirms this is not remotely exploitable over the internet. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 3.1 base score of 4.3 with vector AV:A/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L reflects a moderate but geographically constrained risk. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An attacker on the same VLAN or directly connected subnet as an IBM AIX or PowerVM VIOS host sends a specially crafted network packet containing a malformed index value targeting the vulnerable array boundary check. The receiving process fails to validate the index, accesses memory out of bounds, and crashes or enters an unresponsive state - causing a denial of service. … |
| Remediation | IBM has released a patch addressing this vulnerability, available through the IBM Fix Central portal. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
