DescriptionCVE.org

IBM i 7.6, 7.5, 7.4, and 7.3 could allow a remote attacker to cause a denial of service due to the use of an uninitialized variable.

AnalysisAI

Denial-of-service in IBM i 7.3 through 7.6 allows a remote unauthenticated attacker to crash or degrade service availability by triggering an uninitialized variable condition (CWE-457) over the network. The CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N) confirms no authentication or user interaction is required, though impact is bounded to partial availability with no confidentiality or integrity exposure. …
