CVE-2026-17425
HighCVSS 7.5Exploitation Probability (EPSS)
Low risk32th percentile - higher than 32% of all known CVEs
Summary
IBM AIX 7.2, 7.3 and IBM PowerVM VIOS 4.1 could allow a remote attacker to cause a denial of service due to a stack buffer overflow.
Risk Assessment
An attacker could cause system crash, leading to unavailability of services.
Recommendation
Apply security patches and monitor the system for anomalies.
