August 19, 2019 Doug Bidwell
It’s “ketchup time” here at the IBM i PTF Guide, and we have two weeks of stuff lined up. So let’s just go through it in order and get you all current.
In Number 32 of the Guide, there is a Security Bulletin for Vulnerabilities, which includes CVE-2019-0196, CVE-2019-0197, and CVE-2019-0220 in the IBM i operating system as it related to the HTTP Server. Here’s the link. Releases 7.2, 7.3, and 7.4 of IBM i are affected.
- Release 7.2 – SI69901
- Release 7.3 – SI69900 and SI69828
- Release 7.4 – SI69187 and SI69189
There is a new DB2 for IBM i Group for IBM i 7.4 and a new DB2 Mirror for i for IBM i 7.4 group as well. So check those out.
