IBM disclosed two critical remote code execution vulnerabilities in AIX's NIM (CVE-2024-56346, CVSS 10.0) and nimsh SSL/TLS (CVE-2024-56347, CVSS 9.6) services affecting AIX 7.2 and 7.3; there are no workarounds, IBM urges immediate patching, and the flaws pose significant risk to the roughly estimated ~9,000 AIX-using organizations in finance, healthcare, telecom and datacenter environments.
