IBM AIX 7.2, and 7.3 and IBM PowerVM VIOS 4.1 could allow a local attacker to gain elevated privileges due to a heap-based buffer overflow.

The version of AIX installed on the remote host is prior to APAR IJ59566. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the IJ59566 advisory.

  - IBM WebSphere Application Server 8.5, and 9.0 and IBM WebSphere Application Server - Liberty Continuous     delivery has a flaw in the ORB component in IBM SDK, Java Technology Edition, may allow a malicious IIOP     server to induce loading and instantation of arbitrary classes. (CVE-2026-8400)

  - IBM AIX 7.2, and 7.3 and IBM PowerVM VIOS 4.1 could allow a remote attacker to cause a denial of service     due to a stack-based buffer overflow. (CVE-2026-18828)

  - IBM AIX 7.2, and 7.3 and IBM PowerVM VIOS 4.1 could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code due     to a stack-based buffer overflow. (CVE-2026-16872, CVE-2026-17122, CVE-2026-17138)

  - IBM AIX 7.2, and 7.3 and IBM PowerVM VIOS 4.1 could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code due     to a stack buffer overflow. (CVE-2026-16841, CVE-2026-16862, CVE-2026-16864, CVE-2026-16885,     CVE-2026-16894, CVE-2026-16913, CVE-2026-17157)

  - IBM AIX 7.2, and 7.3 and IBM PowerVM VIOS 4.1 could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code due     to a use-after-free vulnerability. (CVE-2026-17118)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
