Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
IBM i versions 7.3 through 7.6
Description
A local authenticated attacker can obtain unauthorized access to files. This is possible due to a time-of-check time-of-use (TOCTOU) race condition, which occurs when a program checks the state of a resource (such as a file) before using it, but the state changes between the check and the use.
Recommendations
At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
