IBM i PTF Guide, Volume 27, Number 24
June 16, 2025 Doug Bidwell
The AS/400, under its many names, turns 37 this coming weekend, and let’s all raise a glass and celebrate this venerable and still relevant platform. Or, perhaps a cup of coffee or tea, depending on your mood.
In the meantime, before you toast the IBM i, you have two security vulnerabilities to be aware of. First, there is Security Bulletin: This Power System update is being released to address CVE-2024-13176, which you can find out more about here. This affects the BMC’s HTTPS and SSH interfaces. The affected products and versions are as follows:
- OPENBMC: FW1060.00 – FW1060.30
- OPENBMC: FW1050.00 – FW1050.30

- OPENBMC: OP910.00 – OP910.91
- Hardware Management Console (HMC): OP940.00 – OP940.73
And second, we have Security Bulletin: IBM Backup, Recovery and Media Services for i is vulnerable to a user gaining elevated privileges due to an unqualified library call [CVE-2025-33108], and you can get more information about it here. The IBM i PTF numbers for 5770-BR1 contain the fix for the vulnerability:
