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.

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). …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | IBM's CVSS 3.1 vector indicates network vector, low complexity, no privileges and no user interaction (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N), implying remote unauthenticated exploitation against an affected IBM i network service on 7.3-7.6. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | Signals are mixed. … 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 | Patch available per vendor advisory: apply the IBM-provided fix (PTFs / group PTF for your release level) documented at https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/node/7285847 for IBM i 7.3, 7.4, 7.5, and 7.6; an exact single fix version is not stated in the input, so obtain the correct PTF per release from that page. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
