IBM i 7.3, 7.4, 7.5, and 7.6 is vulnerable to an authenticated attacker elevating their privilege. A bad actor could exploit this vulnerability to perform operations with QSECOFR/Root authority on the system.

IBM WebSphere Application Server - Liberty 20.0.0.12 through 26.0.0.10 could allow an unauthenticated remote attacker to bypass access controls configured on gRPC service methods.

IBM WebSphere Application Server - Liberty 17.0.0.3 through 26.0.0.9 is affected by a privilege escalation vulnerability with the restConnector-2.0 feature enabled.

MCP Context Forge is an MCP gateway and administrative platform. Prior to 1.0.2, mcpgateway/config.py and .env.example ship a known JWTSECRETKEY, while verifyjwttoken() accepts HS256 tokens signed with that key and getcurrentuser() creates a platform administrator when the token subject matches PLATFORMADMINEMAIL and REQUIREUSERINDB is false. A remote unauthenticated attacker can therefore mint accepted administrator tokens without a database account. While the vulnerable signing key remains configured and the platform-admin bootstrap remains enabled, forged access survives password rotation, account deletion, and session revocation, allowing administrative disclosure, modification, and service disruption. This issue is fixed in version 1.0.2.

IBM i 7.3, 7.4, 7.5, and 7.6 could allow a local attacker to bypass NFS version restrictions due to improper enforcement of the export version flag.

IBM i 7.3, 7.4, 7.5, and 7.6 could allow a remote attacker to perform unauthorized manipulation of distributed transactions due to improper validation of attacker-supplied transaction identifiers.

IBM Db2 Genius Hub 1.0 could allow a remote authenticated attacker to bypass security restrictions due to a missing initialization vector in the cryptographic algorithm.

IBM Db2 Genius Hub 1.0 could allow a local attacker to obtain sensitive information due to improper verification of cryptographic signature.

MCP Context Forge provides an MCP Admin UI for managing gateway resources. From 0.2.0 until 0.3.1, the Global Prompts feature stores a prompt template without sufficient output encoding before the MCP Admin UI renders it. An authenticated attacker can save markup containing script-capable event handlers, and the code executes when another user views the saved prompt. The stored cross-site scripting can alter the interface, present phishing content, observe keystrokes available to the page, and act with the viewer's browser session. This issue is fixed in version 0.3.1.

IBM i 7.3, 7.4, 7.5, and 7.6 is vulnerable to a denial of service to Digital Certificate Manager (DCM) for System TLS using applications attempting to create secure network connections. A bad actor could use this to prevent a service from starting or cause it to fallback to non-secure connections.

IBM i 7.3, 7.4, 7.5, and 7.6 could allow a local attacker to obtain sensitive information due to missing subtree checks during file handle resolution.

IBM i 7.3, 7.4, 7.5, and 7.6 is could allow a remote authenticated attacker to bypass security restrictions due to improper enforcement of the ChrootDirectory configuration directive.

IBM i 7.3, 7.4, 7.5, and 7.6 could allow a remote authenticated attacker to bypass security restrictions due to improper authentication.

IBM Planning Analytics 2.0, and 2.1 could allow a remote authenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code due to a stack-based buffer overflow.

IBM WebSphere Application Server - Liberty 20.0.0.12 through 26.0.0.10 could allow a remote attacker to cause a denial of service due to an uncaught exception.

IBM Maximo Application Suite - IoT Component 9.2.0, 9.1.0, and 9.0.0 could allow a remote attacker to cause a denial of service due to uncontrolled recursion.

IBM WebSphere Application Server - Liberty 17.0.0.3 through 26.0.0.9 could allow a local attacker to traverse directories on the system. An attacker could use a specially crafted application archive to write files outside the intended directory.

IBM WebSphere Application Server - Liberty 17.0.0.3 through 26.0.0.10 has insufficient isolation between servers sharing an install.

Code for IBMi is a Visual Studio Code extension for maintaining and compiling ILE languages on the IBMi platform. Prior to 3.0.1, IBMi components implementing IBMiComponent were accepted after checking that a procedure existed without reliably verifying component integrity. Components installed with broad public permissions allow another local account to alter a program such as GETMBRINFO. A later connection can execute the altered program under the connecting account because the LONGCOMMENT marker alone does not establish integrity. This issue is fixed in version 3.0.1.

Code for IBM i is a Visual Studio Code extension for maintaining and compiling ILE languages on the IBMi platform. Prior to 3.0.1, src/ui/views/objectBrowser.ts stores Object Browser downloads and the edit-save flow content in the shared /tmp directory without reliable cleanup. On systems where /tmp is accessible to other local accounts, file contents remain readable after download or editing operations. This issue is fixed in version 3.0.1.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

nfsd: fix heap overflow in NFSv4.0 LOCK replay cache

The NFSv4.0 replay cache uses a fixed 112-byte inline buffer (rpibuf[NFSD4REPLAYISIZE]) to store encoded operation responses. This size was calculated based on OPEN responses and does not account for LOCK denied responses, which include the conflicting lock owner as a variable-length field up to 1024 bytes (NFS4OPAQUELIMIT).

When a LOCK operation is denied due to a conflict with an existing lock that has a large owner, nfsd4encodeoperation() copies the full encoded response into the undersized replay buffer via readbytesfromxdrbuf() with no bounds check. This results in a slab-out-of-bounds write of up to 944 bytes past the end of the buffer, corrupting adjacent heap memory.

This can be triggered remotely by an unauthenticated attacker with two cooperating NFSv4.0 clients: one sets a lock with a large owner string, then the other requests a conflicting lock to provoke the denial.

We could fix this by increasing NFSD4REPLAYISIZE to allow for a full opaque, but that would increase the size of every stateowner, when most lockowners are not that large.

Instead, fix this by checking the encoded response length against NFSD4REPLAYISIZE before copying into the replay buffer. If the response is too large, set rpbuflen to 0 to skip caching the replay payload. The status is still cached, and the client already received the correct response on the original request.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

net/sched: Only allow actct to bind to clsact/ingress qdiscs and shared blocks

As Paolo said earlier [1]:

"Since the blamed commit below, classify can return TCACTCONSUMED while the current skb being held by the defragmentation engine. As reported by GangMin Kim, if such packet is that may cause a UaF when the defrag engine later on tries to tuch again such packet."

actct was never meant to be used in the egress path, however some users are attaching it to egress today [2]. Attempting to reach a middle ground, we noticed that, while most qdiscs are not handling TCACTCONSUMED, clsact/ingress qdiscs are. With that in mind, we address the issue by only allowing actct to bind to clsact/ingress qdiscs and shared blocks. That way it's still possible to attach actct to egress (albeit only with clsact).

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

libceph: reset sparse-read state in osdfault()

When a fault occurs, the connection is abandoned, reestablished, and any pending operations are retried. The OSD client tracks the progress of a sparse-read reply using a separate state machine, largely independent of the messenger's state.

If a connection is lost mid-payload or the sparse-read state machine returns an error, the sparse-read state is not reset. The OSD client will then interpret the beginning of a new reply as the continuation of the old one. If this makes the sparse-read machinery enter a failure state, it may never recover, producing loops like:

libceph: [0] got 0 extents libceph: data len 142248331 != extent len 0 libceph: osd0 (1)...:6801 socket error on read libceph: data len 142248331 != extent len 0 libceph: osd0 (1)...:6801 socket error on read

Therefore, reset the sparse-read state in osdfault(), ensuring retries start from a clean state.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
