DescriptionNVD

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 NULL pointer dereference.

AnalysisAI

Denial of service in IBM i 7.3 through 7.6 is achievable by any remote authenticated low-privilege user via a NULL pointer dereference, causing complete availability loss with no data exposure. The CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H) confirms low-complexity network exploitation requiring only a valid user account and no user interaction. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Requires a valid IBM i user credential with at least low-privilege access (PR:L per CVSS vector). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 6.5 medium rating accurately reflects the constrained impact profile: exploitation requires at least a low-privilege authenticated session (PR:L), so unauthenticated remote attackers cannot trigger this directly. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in.
Remediation Apply the vendor-released patch provided by IBM via the support advisory at https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/node/7285844, which contains specific PTF numbers for IBM i 7.3, 7.4, 7.5, and 7.6. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Threat intelligence, references, and detailed analysis are available after sign-in.
