The vulnerability exists due to some OMR internal port library and utilities consumers of z/OS atoe functions do not check their return values for NULL memory pointers or for memory allocation failures. A local user can pass specially crafted data to the application and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


2) Out-of-bounds write (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-1471)

If the input format string and arguments are larger than the buffer size then buffer overflow occurs. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted file, trigger an out-of-bounds write and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
