IBM i PTF Guide, Volume 26, Number 17
May 6, 2024 Doug Bidwell
Some of the links in the IBM i PTF Guide appear to be broken, but don’t worry about them. IBM is in the process of changing the format of the Cover page for IBM i patches and a few of the links are stuck in the middle. We will attempt to get them back in synch by the next issue. This is the effect of the latest in IBM’s efforts to make the web information for IBM less verbose and more accessible. Any comments on such, please share!
And now, some security vulnerabilities for IBM. Four, to be precise.
First, we have Security Bulletin: IBM WebSphere Application Server Liberty is vulnerable to a denial of service (CVE-2024-27268), which you can find out more about at this link. This affects IBM WebSphere Application Server Liberty releases 18.0.0.2 through 24.0.0.4.
