IBM i 7.6, 7.5, 7.4, and 7.3 could allow a remote authenticated attacker to cause a denial of service due to a stack-based buffer overflow.
AnalysisAI
Stack-based buffer overflow in IBM i 7.3 through 7.6 allows remote authenticated attackers to cause a denial of service by sending specially crafted network input that exceeds a stack-allocated buffer in a network-accessible component. The vulnerability is gated behind low-privilege authentication (PR:L) and carries no confidentiality or integrity impact, as IBM's advisory scores it CVSS 4.3 with A:L. …
