DescriptionNVD

IBM i 7.6, 7.5, 7.4, and 7.3 could allow a remote authenticated attacker to overwrite adjacent memory due to an integer underflow during bounds checking.

AnalysisAI

Heap-based buffer overflow in IBM i 7.3 through 7.6 allows a remote, low-privileged authenticated attacker to overwrite adjacent memory regions by triggering an integer underflow in the bounds checking logic. The CVSS scope change (S:C) reflects that the overwrite can cross component boundaries, though direct impact is rated low integrity only with no confidentiality or availability consequence. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires a valid authenticated session with at least low-privilege access to the IBM i system (PR:L per CVSS vector), which explicitly rules out unauthenticated remote exploitation. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS base score of 3.5 accurately represents a constrained real-world threat: network reachability (AV:N) is substantially offset by high attack complexity (AC:H) and a mandatory low-privilege authenticated session (PR:L). … 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 IBM has released a patch for this vulnerability, confirmed by the vendor advisory at https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/node/7283297. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

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