CVE-2026-19653
MediumCVSS 6.5Exploitation Probability (EPSS)
Low risk1th percentile - higher than 1% of all known CVEs
Summary
IBM AIX 7.2, and 7.3 and IBM PowerVM VIOS 4.1 could allow a local attacker to cause a denial of service due to improper handling of memory page table configurations.
Risk Assessment
The risk includes the possibility of local disruption of system operations, potentially leading to service unavailability and impacting business continuity.
Recommendation
It is recommended to apply the appropriate fixes provided by IBM for AIX and PowerVM VIOS. Also, restrict local access to systems to trusted users only.
