Local privilege gain via stack buffer overflow
Published Dec 13, 2021 · Updated Sep 17, 2024
Stack-based buffer overflow in IBM i2 Analyst's Notebook 9.2.0 through 9.2.2 allows local users to gain lower-level privileges. Improper bounds checking permits data to overrun a stack buffer, but IBM has not disclosed the affected component, input type, or operation. Exploitation requires local access and user interaction, and IBM reports only a gain of lower-level privileges.
