November 28, 2022 Doug Bidwell
It is a busy, busy week for the IBM i PTF Guide, folks. So get some coffee. There are a bunch of security vulnerabilities that you need to take a look at, and there are also some recommended fixes that are not included in either the PTF groups or the cumulative PTF updates.
First, there is Security Bulletin: IBM Transform Services for IBM i is vulnerable to denial of service, buffer overflow, and allowing attacker to obtain sensitive information due to multiple vulnerabilities, which you can read more about at this link. The fixes for this vulnerability can be found thus:
IBM i Release 5770-TS1 PTF Number 7.5 SI80776 7.4 SI80841 7.3 SI80909 7.2 SI80912
Second, there is Security Bulletin: IBM i Access Client Solutions is vulnerable to DLL hijacking when run on a Windows operating system (CVE-2022-40746), which you can find out more about at this link. Here is the rundown on this one. IBM i Access Client Solutions, 1.1.2 – 1.1.4, and 1.1.4.3 – 1.1.9.0: The issue can be fixed by upgrading to version 1.1.9.1 or later.
Third, Security Bulletin: Multiple Vulnerabilities in IBM Java SDK affect IBM WebSphere Application Server and IBM WebSphere Application Server Liberty due to the October 2022 CPU, which you can find out more about here.
On a separate note, we have added to the IBM i PTF Guide information about cool tools from IBM i Technical Services relating to PowerHA Tools for IBM i – Full System FlashCopy. See link in the Guide by each release.
Finally, as we said above, there are recommended fixes for the IBM i platform that are not included in the cumes or groups – see the links in the Guide by each release. But here is an example called out so you know what we are talking about.
