What it is about
IBM i (früher bekannt als IBM iSeries oder IBM System i) ist ein Betriebssystem, das auf IBM Power Systems Servern läuft und für Geschäftsanwendungen entwickelt wurde. Ein entfernter, authentisierter Angreifer kann eine Schwachstelle in IBM i ausnutzen, um beliebigen Programmcode auszuführen und vertrauliche Informationen offenzulegen.
Under what conditions?
Over the network, but only with valid access (login required), for example with stolen credentials or as an insider.
What can happen in the worst case
An attacker could use the vulnerability to
- beliebigen Programmcode auszuführen
- vertrauliche Informationen offenzulegen
Am I affected?
Affected according to the BSI:
- IBM i <7.6 SJ11645
- IBM i <7.5 SJ11644
- IBM i <7.4 SJ11643
- IBM i <7.3 SJ11641
The installed version is usually shown under “Help → About” or in the device’s admin interface.
What helps?
Update to at least:
- IBM i 7.6 SJ11645
- IBM i 7.5 SJ11644
- IBM i 7.4 SJ11643
