IBM i PTF Guide, Volume 24, Number 22
June 1, 2022 Doug Bidwell
Well, there is a lot of stuff going on with IBM i PTFs this week, with cumulative patch rollups, or Cumes as we call them, Technology Refreshes, and other goodies. Specifically, IBM i 7.3 and IBM i 7.2 have Cume rollups, as well as their respective TR6 and TR12 updates of new functionality.
There are also two new security vulnerabilities. First, there is Security Bulletin: IBM Navigator for i is vulnerable to an SQL injection (CVE-2022-22495), which you can read about at this link. The patches for this vulnerability are as follows:
IBM i Release HTTP Server for i Group PTF - Level 7.5 SF99952 - 01 7.4 SF99662 - 20 7.3 SF99722 – 39
Then there is this Security Bulletin: This Power Systems firmware update is being released to address CVE 2022-22309, which you can read about here. Affected Products and Versions: Firmware release FW860, FW940 and FW950 are affected.
