IBM AIX 7.2, and 7.3 and IBM PowerVM VIOS 4.1 could allow a local attacker to cause a denial of service due to a NULL pointer dereference.
AnalysisAI
NULL pointer dereference in IBM AIX 7.2/7.3 and PowerVM VIOS 4.1 allows a local low-privileged attacker to crash the system, causing a denial of service. Exploitation requires high attack complexity, suggesting a race condition or specific system state must be induced. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Local authenticated access with at least low-privilege credentials (PR:L) is required - remote unauthenticated exploitation is not possible given AV:L. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 3.1 base score of 4.7 (Medium) accurately reflects constrained real-world risk. … 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 | A vendor-released patch is available from IBM. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
