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 memory leak.

AnalysisAI

IBM i versions 7.3 through 7.6 expose authenticated remote attackers to a denial-of-service condition via a memory leak (CWE-401). An attacker with low-privilege credentials can repeatedly trigger the vulnerable code path over the network, causing progressive memory exhaustion that degrades or halts system services. …
