9.1 CRITICAL

Concur with IBM's vendor vector: remote unauthenticated buffer overflow with integrity and availability impact and no confidentiality loss; AV/PR are vendor-asserted given the terse description.

vuln.today treats the vendor’s rating as authoritative. A higher third-party CVSS (e.g. CISA-ADP) is shown for transparency but does not drive the headline severity.

DescriptionNVD

IBM i 7.6, 7.5, 7.4, and 7.3 could allow a remote attacker to cause a denial of service and compromise integrity due to a buffer overflow.

AnalysisAI

Remote denial of service and integrity compromise in IBM i 7.3, 7.4, 7.5, and 7.6 arises from an out-of-bounds write (buffer overflow) reachable by a remote attacker. Per IBM's CVSS 3.1 vector the flaw is network-reachable with no privileges or user interaction, corrupting memory to crash affected services and tamper with data integrity (C:N/I:H/A:H). …
