CVE-2026-10744: CWE-122 Heap-based Buffer Overflow in IBM MQ for HPE NonStop
IBM MQ for HPE NonStop 8.1.0 through 8.1.0.40 could allow an authenticated attacker to cause a denial of service or potentially escalate privileges due to an integer overflow in MQINQ request validation.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
IBM MQ for HPE NonStop versions 8.1.0 through 8.1.0.40 contain a heap-based buffer overflow vulnerability (CWE-122) due to an integer overflow in the MQINQ request validation process. This flaw allows an authenticated attacker to trigger a denial of service or possibly escalate privileges by exploiting the improper handling of integer values during request validation.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation can lead to denial of service conditions or privilege escalation by an authenticated attacker. The vulnerability affects confidentiality, integrity, and availability, as reflected in the CVSS vector (C:H/I:H/A:H).
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. No official fix or patch links are provided in the available data. Until a patch is available, restrict access to trusted authenticated users and monitor for suspicious MQINQ request activity.
