DescriptionNVD

IBM i 7.6, 7.5, 7.4, and 7.3 could allow a local 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 an authenticated local attacker to crash the system, producing a denial of service with no confidentiality or integrity impact. The flaw is classified as CWE-121 and is limited in severity by both the access prerequisites and the bounded availability-only outcome. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation	Exploitation requires a valid low-privilege account on the target IBM i system (PR:L per CVSS). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment	The vendor-assigned CVSS 3.1 vector CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L conflicts materially with the description, which explicitly states 'a local attacker' - AV:N (network-reachable) and a local-only attack are mutually exclusive, and this inconsistency must be resolved by consulting the IBM support advisory before deployment teams make triage decisions. … 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 Program Temporary Fixes (PTFs) identified in IBM's security bulletin at https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/node/7285844, which provides release-specific PTF identifiers for each of the four affected IBM i versions (7.3, 7.4, 7.5, 7.6). … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.
