Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions IBM AIX version 4.3

Description The issue allows local users to cause a denial of service, resulting in a system crash. This is achieved by providing a long port logical name argument, specifically using the -l option.

Recommendations For IBM AIX version 4.3, consider restricting access to the rmpvc command to prevent local users from causing a denial of service. As a temporary workaround, avoid using the -l option with long port logical names until a fix is available. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this issue.
