CVE-2026-19086
LowCVSS 3.3Exploitation Probability (EPSS)
Low risk2th percentile - higher than 2% of all known CVEs
Summary
IBM i versions 7.6, 7.5, 7.4, and 7.3 contain a buffer overflow in a PASE process that can lead to denial of service. An authenticated attacker could leverage this to terminate their own process.
Risk Assessment
The flaw can disrupt availability of applications running in the PASE environment on IBM i. Exploitation requires authentication, limiting risk to logged-in users.
Recommendation
Apply available IBM fixes for IBM i 7.3–7.6 or restrict privileges for users able to run PASE processes. Monitor for unusual PASE process terminations.
Other vulnerabilities in IBM i
See all- CVE-2026-93744Medium
IBM i 7.3, 7.4, 7.5, and 7.6 could allow an unauthenticated remote attacker to bypass security restrictions due to improper access control. By sending a specially crafted HTTP request to any URL within the Navigator application prior to authentication, a bad actor could exploit this vulnerability to alter server-side session security state.
- CVE-2026-96119Critical
IBM i versions 7.3, 7.4, 7.5, and 7.6 could allow a remote authenticated attacker to obtain sensitive information or execute arbitrary code on the system due to improper data sanitization by the HTTP Server Administration web application.
- CVE-2026-17083Critical
IBM i 7.6, 7.5, 7.4, and 7.3 could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code due to a stack-based buffer overflow.
- CVE-2026-17276Critical
IBM i 7.6, 7.5, 7.4, and 7.3 could allow a remote authenticated attacker to escalate privileges due to improper authorization in the handling of high-authority threads.
- CVE-2026-17218Critical
IBM i 7.6, 7.5, 7.4, and 7.3 could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code due to an out-of-bounds write.
- CVE-2026-16860Critical
IBM i 7.6, 7.5, 7.4, and 7.3 could allow a remote authenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code due to an uncontrolled search path element.
- CVE-2026-17491Medium
IBM i versions 7.3, 7.4, 7.5, and 7.6 could allow a remote authenticated attacker to bypass security restrictions due to improper enforcement of the ChrootDirectory configuration directive.
- CVE-2026-17488Medium
IBM i versions 7.3, 7.4, 7.5, and 7.6 could allow a remote authenticated attacker to bypass security restrictions due to improper authentication.
- CVE-2026-17275Low
IBM i 7.3, 7.4, 7.5, and 7.6 could allow a remote attacker to perform unauthorized manipulation of distributed transactions due to improper validation of attacker-supplied transaction identifiers.
- CVE-2026-17073Medium
IBM i versions 7.3, 7.4, 7.5, and 7.6 could allow a local attacker to obtain sensitive information due to missing subtree checks during file handle resolution.
Original NVD description (English source)
IBM i 7.6, 7.5, 7.4, and 7.3 could allow a denial of service as a result of a buffer overflow in a PASE process. An authenticated attacker could leverage this to terminate their own process.
