Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions IBM i versions 7.2 through 7.4

Description The issue is related to flaws in the deserialization mechanism of the IBM i operating system. Exploitation of this issue could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code, leading to a denial of service of network ports on the system. This is caused by the deserialization of untrusted data.

Recommendations For IBM i versions 7.2 through 7.4, upgrade the affected component as soon as possible to prevent remote code execution and network disruption due to unsafe data deserialization. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to network ports to minimize the risk of exploitation.
