Description:
Some vulnerabilities have been reported in OS/400, which have unknown impacts.

1) The local CA (Certificate Authority) certificates do not contain the X509 basic constraints extension. This can potentially cause incorrect verification of certification chains.

2) An error in the certificate store causes an old certificate associated with an application identifier to be returned even when it has been renewed.

3) An unspecified error in ASN.1 parsing has an unknown impact.

Solution:
PTFs are reportedly available, which fixes these security issues.

Provided and/or discovered by:
Reported by the vendor.

Changelog:
