CVE-2024-52895Network attack vector

Database service disruption via capability-check bypass

Published Feb 14, 2025 · Updated Feb 14, 2025

Denial of service in IBM i 7.4 through 7.6 allows remote authenticated users to disrupt database-dependent software by altering database files. A database capabilities restriction check is bypassed, permitting privileged operations to remove or otherwise affect database infrastructure files. A privileged IBM i account is required, and the reported consequence is incorrect behavior in software that relies on the database.
